Greg's BBQ - 220/365

Today was Greg and Nikki's annual cousin's BBQ!

 It's always such a fun time!

 Greg, with the help of Frank and Sean, cook up ribs, chicken and steak. Then everyone else brings a side dish! It's quite the spread!

They always get a couple tents to put in the back yard to sit and eat at. It works out great!

This year they rented a bounce house from Austintown bounce. This was such a hit with all the kiddos. They spent almost the entire party in it! It worked out fabulous!

Another hit the was the motorized jeep at the neighbors. The kids had a blast driving it around and they were all bickering over who got to drive next. It was too funny! It was a great day and a great time!

The Chefs!

Who gets to drive next?

 Bounce house!

 

 

Great Wolf Lodge Day 2 - 145/365

Today, was day two at the Great Wolf Lodge. 

We were going to start our day at Goofy Golf! The kids were excited! It went pretty well playing with nine people, albeit, a little slow. LOL. The kids really had a fun time putting around! By the end, it was all pretty random, but that's what made it fun! 

After Goofy Golf, Jim wanted to take Reagan on the Go Carts. She was LOVING it! She had a huge smile the whole time and was waving away! It was so fun to watch them! 

We eventually headed back to the lodge for some more swimming. We spent a little time in the outdoor pool this time! Last time we were here it wasn't open, so it was nice to be out in the sun a little bit. The pool was great, because it was only two feet deep, so the kids could run around a splash. Evan and Reagan had a fun time finding little water rocket toys and throwing them back in. 

For dinner, we all headed out to the Outback. It was so yummy and we had a great time! 

We hit the pools again one more time before bed. The kids spent most of the evening on the little oak tree slides and the blue slides. They went round and around and around. It was fun to watch them! After they would go down the blue slides, they would walk over and high-five Jim, Greg and Jake. It was too funny! 

 It was a successful day number two at the lodge!

The first picture is Jillian, Reagan, Grandma and Evan waiting for their turn!

Cvetkovic Easter - 110/365

Today was Easter! 

Reagan was so excited to wake up and do her egg hunt and look for her basket. She ran all over the house and found all the eggs without too much prompting. It's so fun to share these special mornings with her. 

We sat around opening her eggs and going through her Easter basket. She was most excited about her Tiana dress. Tiana is one, if not, her most favorite princess. She wanted to put it on right away and dance around. We got her a couple greenhouses, too. She loves to grow and take care of plants, so she was pretty excited about those! Her absolute favorite was her trampoline. Mommy was going to build it Saturday before we went to Nana and Papa's, but with the iPhone disaster, it never happened. 

After while, it was time to get ready for our annual brunch at Squaw Creek with Grandma, Papa Greg, Adrienne, Jake, Jillian and Evan. Frank and Judy even joined us this year. It was so nice! 

We always have a good time getting together and the food is always fabulous. We are totally stuffed by the end. They have a huge buffet with tons of breakfast items, but then also some dinner/lunch options, too! We usually get a plate of breakfast, then go back for lunch! LOL! 

After brunch, we went to the camp so that the kids could do the Easter egg hunt that Grandma and Papa Greg set up for them. They had a ball running around the camp and LOVED even more, being able to hunt outside this year. It was SO NICE out!
Grandma and Papa had little bags for the kids with candy, chalk, bubbles, Lalaloopsy "lipstick" and a Lalaloopsy nail set for the girls! Reagan is SO into lipstick, she was so happy! 

After the hunt, we decided to go up to Fellows Riverside Garden to walk around a bit. All the daffodils and pansies were in bloom. It was so pretty. The kids loved wandering around the Children's garden, too! Reagan got to check on her hand print on the fence from last year. It was neat to see that her hand did get a little bigger. We had a really nice day. 

This evening, Jim and I were going to attempt to put the trampoline together. We got about a 1/4 of the way done, when we realized a pole was missing from the box. A WHOLE POLE! We've never had a major piece of anything be missing from a kit. Guess I'll have to call Sam's Club tomorrow. Reagan took it pretty well, which was nice! LOL! 

The photo of the day is us at the garden....

Pancake Breakfast - 81/365

Today was Boardman Rotary's Annual Pancake Breakfast! 

Jim, of course, was out there working, but he got a lot of visitors! 

Nana, Papa, Raymond, Jennifer and I went out at 9:00 to enjoy some breakfast! They really are great pancakes, huge and fluffy! We got a kick out of the syrup squeeze bottle. It was HUGE! We had a nice time! 

Later this morning, Jim got some more visitors. Nikki, Greg, Mabel, Adrienne, Jake and the kids went out to enjoy some pancakes, too! Jim loved having everyone come out and support the rotary! 

Rotary does so many wonderful things for the community. They were really busy for the first day. He was happy. 

 The rest of the day, we just hung around the house and I made some homemade pizzas, which were OK. LOL! 

The photos of the day is Jim with all his visitors.

 

Holiday Party & a Leak - 356/365

Today started out a little rough. 

Jim took Reagan to potty when she got up and the toilet ended up overflowing. Jim got it all cleaned up. Then, we ran a fan in there to help dry it out. It has been acting a little funny, so we're not sure what's going on with it. We'll have to get it checked out. 

 After that crisis was over, we went downstairs to make some pancakes. We decided to try to make them from scratch, which we have never done. Jim is the master pancake maker. When he cooks them, they are always so fluffy. We mixed em, got them all cooked and they looked perfect! We used our cool zoo pancake molds Ray and Jenn got us, so they were extra special! We sat down at the kitchen table to start enjoying them, when I looked up and noticed a HUGE water spot on the ceiling. I jumped up and started to panic! I didn't know how much water was up there. Or, if it would start dripping. Jim assured me it was fine and we would just have an pretty ugly spot on the ceiling. We just kept an eye on it and it never got any worse. It's ugly, but nothing a little primer and paint won't fix. Mark will help us! :)

 This afternoon, Jim and Brinkley went on a little stroll, while I wrapped some presents. 

 This evening, we were heading up to Adrienne and Jake's for our annual cousin's Holiday Party. We've decided to rotate it every year. Last year was ours and this year was Adrienne's. Jake made a yummy feast. He made awesome chicken breast, rice and beans, plantains, and latkas. Nikki was in charge of dessert and I had wine. I felt kind of bad everyone else was slaving and cooking, while I just had to go to the store and pick up wine. I'll take it though. 

 After dinner, Adrienne had a craft for all the kids to do. She had some foam gingerbread men that they could decorate! They had such a blast! 

 When they were done with their craft, they just played for a little bit, while we got everything cleaned up. Reagan, of course, spent most of her evening at Jillian and Evan's train table. She LOVES trains! After a while, Jillian wanted to show the kids her room. Reagan just loved Jillian's toddler bed. She said, "WOW, your bed has a door!" It was too cute! We still have her in her crib since she hasn't climbed out. LOL! 

Finally, it was time for the kids to open presents! They had such a blast and got some really nice stuff. Reagan got a couple Disney Princess Barbies and some art stuff! She was thrilled! 

 We had such a nice family fun night! Jake and Adrienne threw a GREAT party! 

The photo of the day is all of us at the party!

Next, our lovely water spot.

Browns Vs. Jaguars - 335/365

Today starts my last month of 365! I can't believe it's been 11 months! Time is flying! Starting to decide if I will keep going or not. Hmmmmm.....

Anyway.....Browns day again today! 

Reagan was off to Nana and Papa's. She was going to spend the day over there and then have a slumber party! She was pretty excited! 

They picked her up and went to breakfast at Bob Evans. After breakfast, they headed down to Great Grandma and Grandpa Downard's for a visit. She had a great time visiting with them and she loves seeing Zeke. This evening they just hung around Nana and Papa's playing toys. They got into a big game of Jacks! Fun!

We headed up to the game at our normal time. We were actually 10 minutes early, even though we left 10 minutes late. You make up some time when there is no traffic getting into the city. LOL! 

We were standing at the gate, waiting to get in, when we saw the Browns Brownie and Chomps running around outside the gate. We ended up getting some pictures with them, which was too funny! 

 Adrienne and Jake were joining us today, along with Karen, Sam, Christine, and Katie. We had a great time at our indoor tailgate. We munched on all our standards. YUM! 

 The game itself was pretty fun. The Browns ended up losing 32-28, but it was back and forth the whole time. The Browns actually scored in every single quarter, which is really something for them. Brandon Weeden did a LITTLE better there for awhile and connected on some long bombs which was fun to see. The end result wasn't so fun, but it was a fun day. The weather was actually pretty nice, too. Jim and I didn't even wear our hats and gloves! 

On our way home, Ray and Jenny sent a text that they were heading to Jack Perry's to have a snack and asked if we wanted to join them. Since both our kids were at Nana and Papa's for the night, we said SURE! We had a fun little dinner with them, then called it a night. I think we were both in bed by 9:30. We were pooped! FUN DAY! 

 The photo of the day is Adrienne, Jake, Jim and I at the game...

Next, Jim and I with Chomps....

Finally,  Reagan, Brinkley and Papa playing Jacks...

Eppie Adventure - he decided to take a nap in Reagan's dollhouse since everyone was gone today. 

Harvest Festival & Boo at the Zoo - 300/365

We had a super fall fun day planned! 

We started our day at the Tippy Harvest Festival with Nana and Papa. They did a fantastic job with the party! 

When you first walked in, they had the lobby all decorated with spider webs, spiders and spooky candles. Rapunzel and Prince Flynn were there, too! They were telling stories to the kids by the fireplace all afternoon. 

When you went in the main ballroom, they had the tables decorated in the typical Halloween colors. They had a pumpkin painting station, photo booth, face painting and a clown who was making balloon animals! Reagan loved getting her face painted. She asked for an orange cat. She was more excited by the dust of glitter on him at the end. 

Next, we moved on to the clown. Orange cats must have been the theme of the day, because that's what she picked him to make her, too! 

After we finished inside, we set off to the side yard. They had a bounce house, petting zoo, wagon rides, and a bonfire. We started at the petting zoo. They had a couple adorable FLUFFY bunnies, two turtles, a couple guinea pigs and even a Lemur. It was so cute! Reagan went to pet the turtle and he turned the other way. She cried out, "He doesn't like me." It was pitiful. LOL!

Next, it was time for the wagon ride. We ended up getting the whole wagon to ourselves. It was fun because, they had Snow White on the wagon telling the legend of Sleepy Hollow. Reagan listened quite intently. She just loved sitting with Snow White. 

After the wagon ride, we bounced in the bounce house and got some hot chocolate. 

Finally, we headed over to the bonfire to make some s'mores. Reagan was interested in roasting them, but she kept covering her eyes. It was so funny. This was the biggest bonfire she has been around, so I think the heat was really bothering her. We got a kick out of Papa, because he had marshmallow goop all over his hands...LOL! 

Finally, we hit the buffet. They had tons of yummy food, we were stuffed by the end!

It was a great afternoon and we were so happy we went!

 Even though we felt ready for a nap after stuffing ourselves, we were now off to the Akron Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. This is our third year and just love it. They do a great job and give out the best treats! Each station is really decorated well. They had construction workers, soap box derby, candy store, trains, farm theme and lots more. The stations are worth it to go, just to check them out. They are that well done.

We were meeting Adrienne, Jake, Jillian, Evan, Matt, Nikki, Andrew and Ally. Ron, Rachel and Parker were supposed to come, too, but Parker was feeling a little off, so they stayed back. 

We met at five and had a great time. The weather ended up being great. A little cool, but not horrible. The kids all got along great and just had a ball. 

We had got them little glow bracelets, wands and glasses, so we had some fun with those. 

We had a good laugh at the goat petting area. We got the kids crackers to feed the goats and they were having a good time. There was one that kept getting real close to the adults. I decided to give him a hug and get my picture taken with him. Next up, was Nikki. She moved in and put her arm around him. All of a sudden, he had a hold of her turtle neck! It was hilarious! I distracted him and set her free. We were howling! 

Next up was the little train. Jim was nice enough to be the adult to ride with the kids! They all piled in the caboose and went round and round. He said they all just giggled the whole time. 

We finished up the night with the carousel. The kids talked about it all night and were excited to finally ride it! 

We ended up closing the place down. 

Jim and I ended up driving Matt, Nikki and the kids back to their car at the end of the night. Unfortunately, they had to park way down the street and had to ride a shuttle to get there. We piled them in so they didn't have to walk all that way, late at night. 

We had a great time as always! Super fun day all around!

The first photo is Reagan at the fire...

 Next, is all the kids at Boo...

Also, the adults at Boo at the Zoo...

 

Great Wolf & Parker's Birthday -271/365

Another busy one today! 

We woke up around 8:30, grabbed a snack and hit the water park again! 

Reagan just loved it there. She wanted to go straight to the water slides! Grandma played catcher at the bottom while she went round and around. Jim and I decided to hit the two GIANT slides. Adrienne and Greg gave them a go, too! I have to admit being a little nervous. You had to go up nearly three flights of stairs to get up there. You sat down in an inter-tube, the lifeguard gave you the OK and then, you were GONE! They were SO FAST, it was crazy! You came out of the shoot about 100 miles an hour, then suddenly stopped. I tried to hop out of my tube, flipped out and went underwater. I'm not very graceful. LOL! We ended up going a few more times! 

After that, Jim and I decided we would try to stand where the GIGANTIC bucket dumps an avalanche of water. It's on top of a four story, water, tree house. The bucket would fill up every 5 minutes or so, then dump an avalanche of water on the people below. We watched people get dumped on, time and again, so we decided it was our turn. The force of the water was amazing, but it didn't really hurt like we thought it would. After we tried it, we made Adrienne and Jake do it, too! It was a hoot! 

We swam for about an hour and a half, then headed home. We had another birthday party to go to. Today was Parker's second birthday party! Where does the time go? We were just at his pirate party! We've had fun watching Parker grow up and especially, watching he and Reagan form a little friendship. They are really starting to have a good time together. It's so cute! 

Parker's theme was Mickey Mouse, so of course, we were thrilled! Jim, Reagan and I, all wore Mickey shirts to help keep the theme. 

Rachel had everything decorated so cute! The centerpieces were paint buckets, they painted yellow in the shop, put vinyl "happy birthday" stickers, a Mickey and tied balloons to them. Then, they filled them with popcorn! They were too cute! We were lucky enough to bring one home. Reagan already put it in her playroom. They had lots for the kids to do, too. A water table, bounce house, ball pit and of course the swing set. All the kids played so good together. Reagan made quick friends with Rachel's sister's daughter, Jillian. She even said to her "are you like the Jillian I know", referring to her cousin. LOL! The only time there were tears, was over the pinata. They broke it open and all the candy fell out, but they wanted to keep hitting it! 
After the pinata, Parker got his new car! He got a Cadillac Escalade! A couple of the kids tried it out, but the car kept getting put in reverse. They would try to go forward, then get scared when it went backwards. Reagan took it for a little spin around the front yard. She seemed to like it. Won't be long till they are cruising for real.
They had the food catered and it was excellent! The meatballs were everyone's favorite. They were absolutely amazing and I'm not even a big meatball person!
Rachel had the cutest little favors for the kids. Each one got 3D sidewalk chalk. They also got, a little Mickey bag filled with a small coloring book, crayons, candy and cup. It was a great party and of course, Reagan was pooped, yet again.
What a busy couple days!
The photo of the day is Parker celebrating his second birthday!

Here is Parker and Reagan attempting a ride in his new car...

 Next is, Jim, Adrienne, Jake and I getting drenched by the bucket drop. 

Finally, Reagan and Jillian having a little conversation...

 

Luau Day - 230/365

It was Luau Day! 

The first annual luau, to be exact! 

Adrienne, Jake, Matt, Nikki, Rachel, Ron, Jim, I and all the kids got together for our party! Rachel's mom was visiting, so she joined us, too! 

We had been planning our luau for months, since the winter, actually! We were originally supposed to have it in July, but we had to postpone till now. 

We got the idea to have a luau, from a favorite Disney Drink in the family, the Lapu Lapu. It's an adult beverage they have at the Polynesian resort. It's ultra strong and served in a hollowed out pineapple. Delicious! 

 I spent the day getting everything ready! It was so fun transforming the deck into Hawaii! We had grass skirts for the patio umbrella and tables. We had lots of parrots, palm tress and tiki guys, too! Adrienne found plastic pineapple cups so we could have our Lapu Lapus, in a similar style as at Disney! Nikki brought some fun photo props and our pink flamingo mascots! We even had a giant cardboard tiki, that we named "Freaky Tiki!" It was great, because we all contributed to the party and hope to add some new stuff every year.  

Our menu was, chicken kabobs marinated in Hawaiian Luau marinade, Hawaiian rice and Hawaiian sliders. Adrienne whipped up a yummy Hawaiian salad and Nikki made two awesome pineapple cakes! Rachel brought some Hawaiian flavored Handels, along with some birthday cake ice cream, for Jim! LOL! Nana even chipped in and made us a fruit plate. She made a palm tree out of a green pepper and carrot stick, coming out of a pineapple boat, surrounded by fruit! It was awesome!!! 

We had a great time and the kids enjoyed running around together! We had a little craft and pinata for them, too. The pinata was another tiki guy and they made little paper plate parrots. They loved them! It was so fun! 

Brinkley and Sadie had a fun time running around with the kids. They both were really good sports about their little luau headbands, too! 

 I had a basket of toys, back by the playset and by the end, you could tell a good time was had by all, because the yard was littered with toys! It was HILARIOUS! 

 I asked Reagan what her favorite part of the Luau was and she said, "The tree (palm tree) and eating 'din-or' with the kids." I think she loved her first experience as a "big kid" at the kids table! It was a really fun time and we all are already looking forward to next year!

The photo of the day is the whole crew with "Freaky Tiki!"

 

Historic Villiage & Dolphins - 157/365

Today, I got up and photographed my first sunrise of the trip. 

I had been meaning to all week, but just hadn't done it. With Tropical Storm Andrea supposed to roll in tomorrow, I figured I better do it. I'm glad I did! It was GORGEOUS! After everyone else was up and about, we attempted to take some nice pictures of the three kids on the beach. It was hilarious! One would go one way, and another would go a different way. We tried everything from singing to games. It will be interesting to see what shots I actually got...LOL! 

Everyone got dressed for the day and then, Adrienne, Jillian, Nikki, Jim, Reagan and I went over to explore Corolla Historical Village. Greg and Jake had gone crabbing. When they got back, they hung out with Evan and cooked up their crabs.

 The village was really cute, but REALLY small. That had a small store and museum about the wild horses. There was also a little school house that was next door, so we walked over there. Turns out, we couldn't go in, because the kids of Corolla actually attend school there. It's a one room school house that teaches kindergarten through 6th grade. It was fascinating. 

After that, we walked over to the Currituck Lighthouse. It's a beautiful brown brick lighthouse built in 1875. Jim and I decided to try to climb to the top to check out the view. There are 214 steps and we felt every single one of them. It really wasn't as bad as we thought, but our legs were on FIRE! Once we got to the top, the view was absolutely STUNNING! You really get a sense of how THIN the Outer Banks really are. It's truly a fascinating piece of land. 

The lighthouse was the last one built on the Outer Banks and still helps ships today. The light comes on for three seconds and stays off for 17 seconds. We can see the light from our house at night and watch it come off and on. It's pretty cool. The light can be seen for 18 nautical miles. 

After we made our decent, we headed over to the wildlife education center. It's pretty new and had some really nice exhibits inside. The girls really enjoyed it. 

We then, spent a little more time walking around on the boardwalks then headed home. 

This whole trip, none of us had visited the pool. We've been spending all our time on the beach, so Jim, Reagan and I decided to take a walk over. Jim was the first to put his feet in. It was really cold! He finally braved it, then it was Reagan's turn. She was a little apprehensive at first, but warmed up to it OK. They spent about 10 minutes splashing when Greg showed up. He was the next one to brave the waters. We finally decided we had, had enough pool and hit the beach. I have a gigantic beach ball so I blew that up and the kids just had a blast pushing and chasing it around. It was bigger than them! 

 Finally, everyone headed in to take naps and get cleaned up for dinner. Greg and Jake wanted to cook dinner for everyone and made a fantastic feast! They cooked up steak and chicken fajitas with all the accompaniments you could imagine! They were excellent! We were all STUFFED! 

An added bonus, while they were cooking was, we got to watch a HUGE pod of dolphins swimming right in front of the house! There had to be 30 of them, it was amazing!
We all had a great time sitting around talking. Jillian all of a sudden blurted out, "What do you call a pasta that moves?" We all laughed and said, "What?" She, as sure as sure could be, said, "Reagansauce!" We all got a huge laugh about that one! It was so darn cute! 

After we finished cleaning up and putting the kids to bed, we sat and watched some more of the Italy video. It was a great day!

There are three photos today. The first is Jim and I at the top of the lighthouse.

 The next is Jake and Greg cooking dinner...

And finally, one of the dolphins...

 

Wild Horses - 155/365

We started off the day with a wild horse tour! 

Jim's mom and dad were nice enough to watch all three kids while Adrienne, Jake, Jim and I took the tour. It was a great tour! 

We loaded up in the Hummer and headed toward the beach. We set out on our adventure at the same point where Jim, Greg, Nikki and I started our off road adventure. Our tour guide's name was Gary and he lives up in the neighborhood near the horses. He said of the 100+ horse tour guides, he's the only one that lives up near the horses, which made him really knowledgeable about the horses and you could tell he really cares about them. He cracked a lot jokes, which made the ride fun. He took us up past the wildlife reserve, to a neighborhood where the only roads are sand and you have to get there by driving the beach. It was amazing that people live and stay up there. There is no store, no real sewers, no nothing really, but BIG houses and beach. This one house actually had horses just in their front yard. It was really something! 

We ended up seeing around 10-15 horses in three different groups. He said there is around 116 or so, and around 4 different families. They were a lot smaller than I thought and they were really calm. You could probably walk right up and touch them, but that would land you a $500 fine and a night in jail. No thanks... 

On our way back, he pointed to the grocery store that we have been shopping at and said, back in 1995 before the fence was built at the tip of Corolla, the horses all roamed around this area. He said, that grocery store is probably the only store in America that has had a wild horse shopping inside. The area is just getting too populated for them to roam the whole Outer Banks, that's why they now have their own space up at the tip, with little to no traffic.

After that, we all came back and gave grandma and papa a break from the kiddos. They all had a good time playing though! Reagan seemed pooped from her playtime so she took a nap and we just chilled and had some lunch.

 After she got up, we hit the beach for awhile with papa, grandma, Jake & Jillian. It was such a beautiful day, mid 70's and clear blue skies! The tide was coming in, so we had to move our camp back a few times. It was making some great tide pools though. The girls were having a blast running and splashing through them. I had gotten the kids some "sky sleds" at Walgreens before we left and we attempted flying Reagan's. We got it up in the air right away and had a blast watching it go! That's the first time we attempted flying a kite in probably 20 years. 

We got cleaned up and headed down to Kitty Hawk to eat at the Outer Banks Brewing Station. It's about a 45 minute ride, but well worth it. We ate there in 2011 when we all visited Nags Head. That was the year we were trying to outrun Hurricane Irene. It was really good! They have awesome sandwiches. It was really nice, too, because they have a huge "backyard" where there is music, picnic tables and a huge playground for the kids. Jillian and Reagan probably went down the slide 100 times. They were loving it! Evan went a few times with Jake but couldn't go too much because the slide went about 100 MPH! It was FAST! 

We got home and Reagan went right to sleep. Jim and I got some cool LED flashlights at the store next to the horse tours, so we decided to go try them out on the beach. We saw a couple crabs, that was it. The tide was WAY out though, it was pretty cool. The beach is extremely dark! 

It was a really fun day! The photo of the day is the horses.... 

The next is us at with our beach Hummer....

Here is the group at the Brewery....

 and our 2011 picture, too....LOL

Happy Easter! - 90/365

Happy Easter!! 

 Reagan woke up around 8:00 and she was so excited to hunt for her eggs. The Easter Bunny planted eggs and an "empty" basket outside her door. She had to follow the eggs all the way to her filled basket.  She had so much fun gathering her eggs but she wanted to stop and open each one as she went along, so it took awhile. LOL! The Easter Bunny put jelly beans, M&M's, gold fish crackers and some princess socks in her eggs. She was thrilled! 

She finally made it to her basket in the living room. She was lucky enough to receive a Loving Family home from Nana and Papa that the Easter Bunny delivered for them. The Bunny himself, left some accessories for the house, Belle Play-Doh, and a Jasmine for her Little People Castle. She must have been a good little girl! 

 We played with some of her stuff then we headed to meet Jim's family at Squaw Creek for our annual Easter Brunch. The food is always so good and we enjoy a few mimosa's, YUM! Jim and I love the little blintzes. They are crepes filled with a cream cheese goodness. In years past, it has always been a berry topping, but this year it was banana! It was delicious! We hung around after, let the kids run and took some pictures. 

We then headed over to the camp for an Easter Egg hunt. Jim's mom and dad had eggs filled with goodies, all over the hall. The kids had a ball gathering them all up! It was so cute. Reagan is getting to be a good hunter! 

 After all the festivities we headed home. Reagan took a nice long nap and so did daddy since he's been feeling under the weather. 

This evening we just enjoyed playing with her new treasures. 

The photo of the day is the Cvetkovic/Figelman group after our brunch....
