Easter Weekend with Grandma Marie and Grandpa Tom

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit on Easter weekend.  It was a weekend full of fun!

Showing off bike skills on the way to the playground

 Backyard evening cookout
 Roasting marshmallows and eating s'mores!

 Saturday was the Easter Egg Hunt at Top Golf for the NCC Potomac Yard location.  Jovie had lots of fun!
Jovie has NEVER been a fan of anything in costume- Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, etc. This time, however, she was enthralled with the Easter Bunny and spent lots of time around it.

 There were lots of games, too, and Jovie played most of them with gusto.  Although, I'm relatively sure the candy prizes were the ultimate motivation.

 Egg hunt!


All the girls post-egg hunt
 
Posing with Grandma and Grandpa post egg-hunt
 Sorting through the prizes in the eggs (both from church and Grandma and Grandpa)
 Easter morning, looking lovely in her dress
 Mike had to be at church early for worship team, but the rest of us took a little time pre-church for some photos.




 Showing Grandpa Tom her twirling dress
At church they were taking pics of the families for Easter, and this was ours
 After church we took a few more


 Jovie was done with photos at this point
 Easter "baskets"!

 Daddy made sure Jovie got a big chocolate bunny
 Reading a story with Grandma before nap time
 After nap we colored Easter Eggs

 And had a dinner of baked salmon, roasted mini-potatoes and an apple and candied almond salad.  Yum!

Thanks for spending Easter with us, Grandma and Grandpa!
