We were so excited to get to spend this Easter holiday with Grandma and Papa, as well as with Nana, Grandpa, GG, and Mommy's cousin Shannon and her family. We hadn't seen Shannon and the gang since Tim and Jackie's wedding almost 2 years ago.
Liam made a new pal in his cousin Gilbey. Gilbey is my godson, and I just loved to see these two playing together and being extra-silly!
On Saturday night, Aunt Jayne and Grandpa's cousins Judy, Joanne, and Jay came over for cocktails and a visit. Always a party with that crowd! Judy and Mike brought a fun little Easter present for Liam, who enjoyed ensuring that stringy Easter grass got all over the deck:
Nana, Judy, Grandma, and Joanne:
Papa enjoying the weather and a snuggle with his newest grandson:
Joergen catching some Zs on Judy's lap:
On Sunday morning, the kiddos saw that the Easter bunny had arrived!
The Easter bunny brought Liam new sippy cups and Play-Doh, and brought Joergen new pacifiers. Score! After Easter baskets and church, it was time for an egg hunt. Jason and sweet little Anneke getting ready for the festivities:
Grandma playing some ball with Dillon, Gilbey, and Liam while we set up the hunt:
The hunt is on! Liam paid homage to his great grandpa G-willie with his sweet new Easter hat:
Joergen preferred the comfort of Grandpa to the craziness of the Easter egg hunt. Check out his Easter duds!
Grandpa with Gilbey, Liam, Lilly, and Dillon:
After the hunt (and a whole lotta candy), we went to GG's house for brunch. Liam loved making his entrance with both Nana and Grandma! Swinging, no less!
Grandma and her PA grandsons:
Unfortunately, Liam had decidedly hit the end of his Easter joy just as we were all sitting down to brunch, so we more or less had to eat and run to avoid a total public meltdown (oh, the terrible, terrible 2s!). We were so sad to have to say goodbye to our families, and especially to Grandma and Papa who left from York to head back to Illinois. We loved our visit with them and can't wait to see them again in June to celebrate Grandma's 60th birthday on Lake Erie!

It has been a rough few days around here but I hope this has been the worst of it!
Liam was nice enough to share his cold with us as well! Was totally worth it though. It was so much fun to see you and the family.
