Fixsen Family: Easter

I have taken alot of photos the last little while, so here is a quick update from our Easter weekend. We have been loving the spring weather and trying our hardest to spend time outside. WW got this sidewalk chalk from the Easter Bunny and he is loving drawing pictures out front.

BJ's side of the family lives outside Edmonton on farms. It is one of our favorite things to spend holidays with them. Catching up with BJ's cousins, eating the BEST food and bowling! This year WW was old enough to really figure it out, and it was soo cute to watch him go get a ball, push it down the little frame, watch it hit the pins, and then go get another ball. He played for hours... and had so much fun. He even was taking turns with the other cousins. It is exciting for us to see him learn new things, but it's great to see him figure out cooperation and being able to interact with other kids.

BJ and I put on a little Easter egg hunt for WW on Sunday morning. It was so great to get everything together the night before with BJ, and then to watch WW hunt down the eggs and show us what he got. He opened each egg, took the wrapper off , and then put it in his bucket before moving on. It feels so great as a parent to be able to do those silly little things for your kids that they just love. I felt like a good mom that morning.

SH saves me regularly. Not only is she a dear friend, but she is the one that helps me be crafty, and more importantly keeps me festive on holidays. This year she let me know about the Fort Edmonton Park Easter celebration and so we went as a family and met her and her little girl AH there, as well as my sister in law (her sister) and nephews there as well. It was the most beautiful day and they had all these wonderful things for kids of all ages to do.

Face painting, Egg hunting, treasure hunts, petting zoo, egg dying. We had a great time, and loved being out in the warm spring weather.
