Easter weekend 2011

We had a beautiful Easter weekend, of course spent with our wonderful families. It was so nice to be home in arizona this year! Halle got sick on friday, my poor baby...but thankfully she recovered in time on saturday to dye some Easter eggs and was well enough to enjoy Easter on sunday. Costa was SO excited to dye eggs and had been anticipating this for weeks now since Auntie Nisa bought us this awesome dye kit. So, of course him and I started friday night. Crew buddy had fun watching us in his bumbo seat!


Look at these cute guys Costa came up with on his own! I thought they were so cute! Little dinosaurs!

My poor baby she wasn't feeling good
The egg daddy made...pretty cute!

It was an extra SPECIAL Easter this year, because Uncle Alex was Confirmed and also received his First Holy Communion as well on Easter Vigil, Saturday. I was honored he asked me to be his sponsor! How special! I truly felt so honored that he wanted me of all people he could have asked! We are so proud of Alex for taking this step with his faith and are so excited for all the graces he will receive because he did! Congratulations Alex...we love you and will always be here for you! After the ceremony, we went to dinner at Oregano's to celebrate! It was a late night...Hallers was a trooper! Especially, since she'd been sick the day before. We decided to leave Costa and Crew at home with Grandma and Papa, too late for the little buddies.




Easter morning was so fun! The kids were SO excited for the Easter bunny to come to our house! They had fun finding their baskets and then they were super cute to find out the bunny had left something for our little Crew. They thought that was pretty cool! Of course, the bunny wouldn't forget our little Crew buddy! It's so much fun to see the excitement in their little eyes and voices! I just love it, it's the best. Costa is really cute these days and always says to me when he's excited for something..."Aren't you so excited mom?" So adorable.



After the excitement of the baskets, it was nice to relax for a little bit since we had gone to church the night before. Although Church was 3 hours long the night before, I must say I did enjoy sipping coffee with my husband Easter morning watching the kids excitement, not rushing to get everybody ready for church! After a little bit we did get ready and headed over to Papa and Grandma Contreras' house for brunch and an Easter egg hunt. This year we put money in the eggs, like we do at my families hunt. The kids are older now, so that's super fun for them to see who gets the eggs with the most money! We had a great morning but we were really missing the Mersiowsky cousins!


Grandma helped Hallers find some eggs!

Last stop that afternoon was Poppie and Gg's house for dinner, swimming and another egg hunt! So much fun! I LOVE being home for holidays!

The kids put on a concert for the adults at the end of the night...Costa put off some pretty awesome dance moves! They were great!
