Shaz by the Sea

The Easter Bunny came to our house! We had a wonderful, busy weekend.  On Saturday, we went to Chelsea and  Brian's house - a new set of friends who live a couple houses down  from my parents. They have two young boys who are just about Conor,  Caden and Cal's age. We had a lovely brunch spread and they had an  Easter egg hunt around their house for all the kiddos.  They also had  a pinata in their garage that the kids loved hitting. It was a riot.

We get our Christmas tree here every year, too. My mom came with me and the kids had a good time. Conor struggled with the limit of eggs per kid and had a meltdown, but I totally get that. If you see an egg, why can't you go run and grab it? Understandable, bud.  We met up with my friend...
