Hoppy Easter!!!

Easter was a little different for us this year. Holden was still under the weather so Ryan stayed home with him while the girls and I drove to my moms house for dinner. Ryan ordered some Thai food and stayed on the couch most of the day with our sick boy. Here are some pictures of Easter morning....Holden woke up with some energy but soon after that he felt really bad again 

after they went through all their stuff they went on an Easter egg hunt around the house  

WOW, our M&M's grew into Peep Pops!!!

 Ryan always cooks the shrimp but since he was not there, I was on shrimp duty 

 lots of spoils 

 Deborah and I celebrated our birthdays together 

 Gina ordered these yummy cakes from a bakery in L.A

 I kept Holden home from school the next day. He got to open the baskets form amma, ampa and his aunts and uncles....he was very excited!

Easter Fun......Well, Sort Of

I was able to take the day before Easter off this year to do all the fun Easter traditions that we do every year.......Unfortunately this year was a bit different. We listed our house on March 17th....we would love to move closer to my salon and Ryan's school district, not to mention my parents. Trying to sell a house is stressful enough but with 3 kids it's a whole new level. We had 2 showings on Saturday so we could not really do any of our Easter fun until the last showing was over. To add to everything Holden came down with a fever virus. Poor guy felt so terrible that day and we had to scoop him up and take him up to the park while they showed our house. Thankfully he was feeling a little better in the evening and he helped dye the Easter eggs

 finally, time to make our nests

Birthday Fun!!

We celebrated my birthday with a few friends on Thursday night at Piano Piano in Claremont. It was so nice to get out and enjoy some adult time.

36, Oh My!

We had plans to spend my birthday at the beach but unfortunately Holden woke up with a fever. Instead we just spent the day at home. I opened some gifts in the morning 

 later on in the day Holden started feeling better so we headed out to a birthday dinner at PF Changs 

 trying to use his chop sticks, not bad

even though it was not what we planned I still had a great birthday with my family!
