Easter

This year Easter came and went and we enjoyed every second of it!

Our first day of vacation we headed to the Botanical Gardens.  The kids loved seeing all the flowers and I loved taking their pictures at such a beautiful place.

Claire is a great little model.  She will pose any way that I ask her to.  And she is so gorgeous that taking her picture is easy.

Oliver prefers a more candid approach.  Thankfully he so handsome because I can always get a great shot of him.

The kids loved seeing the Easter bunny.  The bunny walked around so we saw him a few times and the kids were thrilled to see him.

On Saturday we headed to our local park for an Easter egg hunt.  We ended up running into my good friend Pam and her adorable daughter Shay.  The kids had a blast hanging out together.

Nick gave the kids the low down and gave them all the good strategies on how to get the most eggs.

Poor Oliver was having a hard time keeping up with the other kids so Nick scooped him up and helped him grab a ton of eggs. This is why Uncle Nick is Oliver's favorite.

My kids freaked out when they saw the Easter bunny!!  They just love him!

Me and babies with the creeper bunny.  He was a little strange.

The Cappelli's with the creeper bunny...I mean the Easter bunny.

After the big hunt (that lasted all of 4 minutes) we headed over to the playground.  The kids had a blast on the slide.  Of course, they all had to go down together.

After the hunt, the kids took a good long nap.  After their nap they were thrilled to see Miss Amy who bought a huge new ball and brought it over to break it in.  

The kids LOVED it!

Oliver needed a little help to kick the ball around and Miss Amy was right there to help out. 

Claire did not need any help playing with the ball.  She had a blast throwing it around.

After our fun with the ball we headed over to Nana and Papa's to frost cookies and dye eggs.

Claire took her job very seriously.

And Oliver is a great taste tester.  He just kept eating everything.

Our final product.

Then we all had fun dying eggs.  Oliver loved having Uncle Johnny around to be silly with.

Nana and Papa got Oliver some new goggles and a dinosaur in his Easter basket and he was THRILLED!  He just needed Uncle Johnny's sneakers to complete his look.

Then Uncle Johnny wanted a ride so Oliver told him "You ride on the da back!"

The next morning was EASTER and the bunny came and hid a bunch of eggs for the kids!

Claire loved all of her treats from the bunny.

And Oliver loved eating all of his treats from the bunny.

After a good nap we got on our Easter's best and headed to some great family parties.  Here are my babies in their Easter outfits (compliments of Nana and Papa).

We were smart this year and got pictures of the kids right away before they got too tired.  Here is their silly pose.

Owen just woke up from his nap and was a little sleepy so Claire and Oliver had fun waking him up a little!

The Komo kids.

Then it was time for another egg hunt!!

After a great time at Aunt Diane's we headed to Auntie Rose's to celebrate Easter and Nonny's 88th birthday!!  

It was yet another great holiday.  We had a blast with all of our family!  Each year just gets better and better!!!  

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!
