Just When You Think Family Time Can't Get Weirder or A Family Easter

Holidays in Massachusetts can sometimes be a little quiet. Not this year, We had Danielle & Gabrielle with us and made the most of family time.


We did the traditional Easter Egg coloring, Easter baskets, and Church on Sunday morning.
Oh, and of course, board games.

We made our own egg dye this year. 
Why have I been buying the little box with the bunny on it all these years, it's so easy!
The girls chose some eggcellent colors!




This Easter Ken came home with a new Easter tradition- Peep Jousting.
If you know Ken, you know his love for Peeps. So, this was something we had to try.



Fortunately, Ken had some Minion Peeps in the cupboard. (extra exciting)
They jousted with toothpicks.
Maybe next year we'll get cocktail swords :)


The arena- the microwave.


Capturing the event was a challenge, but it was a team effort;
Gabby filmed, Ken manned the controls, Danielle controlled the music 
"Let's get ready to rumble" and "Eye of The Tiger",
I snapped pictures :)


They kept falling over :(
We found out chick Peeps are the best for jousting.


After debate- we pronounced Gabby this years Peep Jousting Champion.


I wonder if they Peep joust in Hawaii?

Brielle Hope Lute

Brielle is two months old now and what a beautiful grandchild!


We finally had the opportunity to meet her when she was three weeks old.




It's amazing how you can instantly bond with a grandbaby. I didn't want to put her down.

I was fortunate to be in Lockport for my niece's bridal shower 
and got to be with Brielle again when she was about 5 weeks old.



Here's a few favorite I stole from Kate's Face Book page :)




By the way, she does have parents!
Thanks Justin & Kate for making such a beautiful baby!
