Easter Weekend

We spent Easter weekend in Williamsburg with Grandma and Baba Z and the Virginia cousins.  It was a lot of fun.  The worst part of the trip was the drive to and from our house...remind me not to go long distance on a long weekend again.  The kids were excellent on the drive, which was a huge answer to many prayers.  It was just that every other car in northern VA decided it was prime time to be on the roads.  

Roy was in San Diego and St. George for a week so I was a solo mom.  It was nice to celebrate Easter, Lydia's birthday round 2 and my birthday round 2 with family.  For Lydia's birthday celebration, we read one of her favorite books ("We're Going on a Bear Hunt") with the cousins, opened presents, ate pink lemonade cupcakes, and built Legos.

 The only unusual part of our very traditional Easter day was attempting to let Roy watch via Google Video Chat.  When the kids were still and in front of the computer, it worked out well. :)  The kids loved the baskets, Easter egg hunt, and getting all dressed up (okay, well, Abby loved the dressing up part).

What on earth is Abby doing? :) 

 The Zwahlen females present, minus Grandma Z.

Do you see Lydia sucking her thumb?  I adore it!
