Happy Easter!

This weekend the Walsh family came to visit. Mom and Dad got into town late Thursday night and then the siblings all showed up late Friday night. Jim and the 'rents' spent Friday grocery shopping for the Easter dinner and mom organized the baby kitchen stuff. I got home from work around 3pm and we lounged for a bit. We had dinner at Emiliano's in Appleton and then hit up The Hobby Lobby - my mom's FAVORITE store! The boys thoroughly enjoyed it. We got home and agreed on the movie "Departed" while we waited for the siblings to show up... they got there with only 20 minutes left in the movie so of course we paused it... by the time we finished watching the movie it was close to 1:30 am! We ended up finally all going to bed Friday night around 2 am.

Saturday was a very busy day. Shannon, mom, and I went down to Mandy's to visit/meet baby Willa... She is HUGE! not really - but since she is only a month old she has gained 5lbs! They grow so quickly! After that we did some shopping... We returned to find dinner on the table and ready to eat! Jim had prepared an entire feast for us... and even had time to build a makeshift leaf for our dining room table so it could fit all 8 of us! It was delicious!

That night we carried on the Walsh tradition of painting eggs - and this year we went all out by putting in 3 tablets per color rather than just one... the eggs were SO much brighter! Everyone also took the time to decorate a onesie for baby. This was quite the "arts and crafts" night for the Walsh family. And it definitely required some hard thinking on sayings...

Sunday the fam went to church and then came home for a big breakfast... egg bake, fresh pinneaple, and yummy caramel rolls! Around 1:30 everyone left and it was just Jimbo, Hilo, and I. So quiet! We spent the afternoon vegging on the couch. I think that is where I am going to back to as soon as this post is up!
