Easter Weekend

We had a fun filled Easter weekend. Starting Saturday morning to Sunday night, we were on the go and Amelia was able to keep up with mom and dad with no problem. However, we had a tired little bunny on our hands when it was all over.

Saturday, Wade's aunts threw us a baby shower. It was co-ed so all the uncles got to join us as well. I got a HUGE kick out of them when the games got brought out. One game involved changing a doll's diaper blindfolded. The winner had the best time. Wade actually did pretty well with this. Must be those late night diaper changes. I came in second (tied with Wade's elementary aged cousin. It was his first time EVER changing a diaper). They also served us with an awesome brunch. Let's just say we didn't need to eat for the rest of the day. Amelia got some wonderful gifts and will be one of the best dressed girls in Bellingham. She also received some blankets. One of them a quilt that matched her bedroom perfectly from Aunt Shirley. She matched the yellow, black, white, sheep theme with a quilt of "Baa, baa, black sheep." Thank you Aunt Suzan, Aunt Lynea and Aunt Nancy for all your hard work!

Saturday night we were ready for more partying. Wade and I took Amelia for her first time to our favorite Mexican joint Jalapenos for some Big Mamas. After we went to our friend's, Aimee and Jason, house. They were having a BBQ after a softball tournament played that day. The whole team was there, plus some of their kids. As the night progressed more friends stopped by. It was great to catch up with people we haven't seen in a while or since last softball season. Amelia got to meet some new friends and catch up with some old ones. She is going to have a tough time choosing who her boyfriend is going to be, Cole or Blaize! She did very well being pasted around. But, as the night got late we needed to get her home to bed (I needed to get home to bed).

Lastly, our weekend ended with Easter Sunday. My family all came up from Kirkland/Seattle and Wade's parents also joined us. I cooked a ham and everyone else brought something to share. We also had some egg hunts. Yes, notice the plural. We had three. Lets just say there wasn't a lack of candy and sweets at this party. Shelby and Macie left on a little sugar high. Tracker also got into some of the action and went on an egg hunt of his own. He rounded up most of the plastic eggs hidden outside and ate the candy that was inside. We are now just waiting for some foil surprises!
