Easter Weekend in Pictures

We went to the zoo for our Easter egg hunt. It was insane....but we finished with our hunt and saw the animals before it got to busy. We were the first ones in the Willawong Bird Station. It was awesome to have it to ourselves. 

On Easter morning, Mike had a meeting so we decided to do baskets after naps. I am also kind of a Grinch and didn't want to dye eggs, so we didn't. For dinner I made my mom's lasagna. Mike doesn't like ham, so we branched out. With the exception of not having quite enough sauce, it was great. 

We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in our backyard. It was gorgeous and we took advantage of it. Seriously, I am so grateful for sunny weather and being able to get outside with the girls. We were getting cabin fever. 

It had been a rough weekend for me. I have been feeling so exhausted and a few things didn't turn out how I had expected. And last night when we were outside playing, while dinner was in the oven, I started thinking. I am so lucky. I have a great husband with whom I have a strong relationship, two beautiful healthy daughters, food to eat, a nice house, so many blessings. Suddenly the things that's went wrong had no weight anymore and I felt 80% better (I was still very tired...) I Am loking forward to a nice week though!
