Easter Sunday


Morning started early with the pitter patter of little feet and a loud "MOM! DAD! Get up it's Easter!!!!!" :) Easter egging isn't complete without a teeny tiny bit of chocolate!

P.J.'s colourful hair extensions and chocolate *sigh* a great way to start the day when your 5. Mom and Dad, being a little more resilient to mornings, opted for coffee and a bit more coffee and some more after that.


Then it was 0ff to meet the family for a lovely Easter Brunch. It is always so much fun, particularly when the weather cooperates!

Grandpa watches over the family from the head of the table.


Three of the girls check out Emilie's new game, Pocket God


Mom and Laura pose for the paparazzi.


Isn't he handsome!!!??? Kenny chats with his Dad and Dirk.


After a very delicious and VERY filling meal we head out to the golf course which is still closed. The kids play in the sun while the adults watch on with smiles.


Sid's turn to count while the cousins hide.


Emilie is found!

Grandmama and Ann enjoying the afternoon.

Ken and his Dad enjoying the company.


And this is my favorite pic. Grandmotherly Love!


Thank you family for the wonderful day and amazing memories!

We Had Joy, We Had Fun, We Had Bouncing In The Sun!


Our cat Perogie captures exactly how the day felt. Finally, some sunshine and a bit of heat!!! We spent the entire day outside since it was "Trampoline Day" as Sid dubbed it.

Sid waited all week for Friday and it was finally here. She even let dad sleep in until 10:00 and then could no longer stand the wait. So off we went...

The assembly.

Sid right there helping hang springs for dad to attach.




Woo-hoooooo!!! What an incredible amount of fun.




Mom's turn!




Dad's turn! Did you know he used to do trampoline when he was a kid?









That was fun!!!!

Dad stops to fix his daughters hair :)
Seat drops! Look at that hair!

Showing Dad her cartwheels

Teaching Dad how to do a proper cartwheel.




Look at the shock on her face :)










Now for handstand lessons.

Dad is such a good student.

Thank you Grandpa Bill! This is such a wonderful gift.
