Easter 2012

Yeah, I’m a month late – but better late than never.

Easter was SO great this year! I am really loving our new way of celebrating holidays with our families. We used to cram both families in ON the actual holiday, leaving no time for our little family. We felt rushed and exhausted by the end of the day – which doesn’t make much of a celebration. For Easter – we took the whole weekend to celebrate and it worked out so nicely.

We spent Saturday evening with the Makanani’s – doing and Easter egg hunt in the backyard followed by a delicious dinner. On Sunday, we woke up and Jackson and I made pancakes together. We went on a long walk, just our little family of 4 and fed the ducks – it was PERFECT!

Sunday evening, we ended our weekend celebration with dinner with the Sogn’s (my family) and bubbles on the deck with Auntie Becky. It was a wonderful weekend – even though Jackson HATES the Easter Bunny (see picture below).

This was a “throw my kid on the bunny’s lap and run” kind of a picture. Turned out nicely, I think ;)

Malia Crawling

So I’ve been absent for awhile and I feel awful. I’ve probably lost all of my followers (if I had any to begin with) due to my lack of blogging. I’m not sure if anyone recalls, but one of my new years resolutions was to spend more time with my kids, and less time on the web. I have succeeded pretty well and although I’m sad I don’t get to blog as much, I’m pretty happy with the time I’ve spent with my kids.

I’m pretty late with this – but I didn’t want to forget to post about Malia’s first crawl. It was one week before her first birthday – and once she started – she was off. She is pretty proud of herself and wants to crawl ALL THE TIME. Last week, she found the stairs, and now every chance she gets – she is attempting to climb them. She’s made it to the top twice all by herself!
