Thatcher's first Easter egg hunt

We had a wonderful weekend relaxing and celebrating our anniversary. On Saturday morning, after a long walk in gorgeous weather, we took Thatcher to his first Easter egg hunt. He had such a blast! I didn't think he'd really "get it," so I was trying to be fiscally responsible and did not buy him a basket. Bad mom move. He spent the entire time ripping his "friend" Weeks' basket out of his hands. Lovely! Thankfully we are friends with Weeks' parents, and they totally understood.

After the Easter egg hunt, we had lunch at a really yummy place called Cowbell (if/when you visit NOLA, this is a must!) It was one of those lunches where the food was delicious, the service was good, the weather cooperated for one last outdoor meal and Thatcher behaved. Usually we are rushed and stuffing our faces while trying to entertain a Crazy Toddler, so it was wonderful to have a calm lunch together.

That evening we went to our good friend's wedding. She was drop dead gorgeous. I mean, stunning. It was so fun to celebrate our anniversary at the same place we celebrated our marriage 5 years ago. We left a little early to enjoy dinner together as well.

Then on Sunday we went to Church and lunch. One of the couples in our Sunday school class had everyone over for a barbecue last night, and it was such a blast. There were 8 kids under 3 there, as well as 4 more on the way! Seriously - the joke is that if you want to expand your family, you join this class. Thatcher had so much fun playing with all of Jack's toys.

Now we just have to get through the work week before it is off to Florida for 10 glorious days at the beach! I c.a.n.n.o.t. wait! Speaking of, I am looking for some guest bloggers for next week as I don't intend to spend much time on the internet. If anyone wants to grace my blog with their presence next week, let me know via a comment or email - I thought it'd be a fun way for some readers to get to know some other bloggers!
