Jamie and I are fortunate to work for companies that give us both Friday and Monday off for Easter weekend. This meant lots of family time with our little boy.
We really didn't get to up anything very exciting. Brandon and Jamie went swimming on Friday while me and my boy enjoyed the beautiful Spring weather with a walk to the playground on Saturday. On Saturday evening we were joined by the Finnigan's for a hearty apple-butter ham feast. Brandon loved playing with Joseph and Julie while the guys watched Montreal lose to Boston in the playoffs.
On Sunday morning Brandon was excited to see the Easter Bunny had brought him a basket full of goodies. He got two toys trucks, a Thomas the Train colouring book, washable crayons and a cute little lamb stuffie that mommy can heat up in the event that he's not feeling well. The crayons turned out to be the biggest hit - we're already missing two of them. After presents we all sat down for a delicious breakfast of banana chocolate-chip pancakes before hitting the mall. Yipee! More stuff for Brandon :)
Our beautiful weather continued so we headed to the park on Monday morning to feed the ducks and play on the swings. Brandon just loves to run and run and run so that's what we let him do. All that running made him pretty tired so he's down for a nap as I type this.
All-in-all we a had wonderful weekend spending time as a family and doing things together. The little ones really do grow fast so I've learned to appreciate the time we are given - whether it's singing in the car, strolling in the park or sharing a meal together. My family is the most precious thing to me so if I wasn't grateful before, I sure am now for all of my long weekends :)
