easter...in stitches

We had such a nice Easter weekend. Since baby is so close to making her appearance, we decided a long time ago not to go anywhere this year, and stick around home. When my family heard that, they all offered to come to our house instead, which was so awesome.

We started the weekend making brownies. Since the kids had a LITTLE too much fun licking the bowl {and whisk, and spoons, and everything in sight} they definitely weren't served to anyone else!

 

Easter Sunday...
The last holiday with just my two littles.

Making good use of her bubbles from the Easter Bunny.

 

And definitely the most eventful part of our day...
The kids begged all afternoon to get their scooters so they could ride down the hill by our house.
We have soccer fields in our back yard, and to get there...there's a pretty steep hill.
Jacks and our neighbor Quinn have certainly perfected the art of going down fast with a "Yee HAW!" and the Newman kids wanted to try, too.
Jess took the kiddos, and they were off.

Jess thought the kids were so funny, she requested my Mom come watch as well.
And of course, Grandma Sandy who is always the fun one, took the kids advice and took her turn down the hill.
{Let me preface...Jess told her NOT to, and I get my balance from my Mom...}
The next thing Jess knew, my Mom was on the ground.

A quick visit to the ER later, she had 7 stitches and a broken nose.
Yep, a broken nose.

She was SUCH a good sport, especially since my Grandma and I had the giggles pretty badly...
She even let us take a picture of the kids and their scooters to remember the day.

{Sorry, Mom - I didn't realize your eyes were shut}

 

She really is such a good sport. Able to laugh at herself, and even sent us pictures the next day of her newly blackened eyes.

Youch.  Just remember kiddos, your Grandma does just about anything to stay fun! :)
