Happy Easter

We had a really nice Easter this year.

First, the kids woke up to baskets of goodies left by the Easter Bunny Even I had a basket of my favs.

As did Aaron...

Afterwards we went to church with Nana Meli where Kali played in the nursery and made pals with all the little kids. Griffey, on the other hand, re-split open his forehead which had just been glued shut at the ER 3 days prior. Ouch.
After church it was off to Grandma Petersen's for her annual egg hunt and dinner.
Have you ever seen a child more excited about pink eggs?

Griff was a master at finding his in small crevices

more joy

first experience with Peeps

This picture is from a few weeks ago when we celebrated Easter at my dad's before he left on vacation. If you are wondering why my kids have scabbed faces in all the pictures, I promise we don't beat them.

Lately

Lately we have been doing things like riding the carousel EVERY time we go to the grocery store. Kali made best friends witht the produce lady at Albertsons and every time we go there she gives us 50 cents for the ride. I try to stop her but she insists. Therefore, we ride it anywhere from 2-4 times a week. Good times.

Also, last month Kali got to go to Knott's Berry Farm with her other best friend Jenna. She loved it of course. And... we went to the Santa Ana Zoo, which I wouldn't really consider a zoo. It was more like a big park with some birds and monkeys. We conquered the whole thing in about 45 minutes and can't wait for an upcoming trip to a real zoo in Los Angeles. Needless to say, we had a great time running around.

Lastly... more beaching.
