Our Weekend with Cousin Caitlin

We have had a lot of visitors these past few weekends.  This weekend my cousin Caitlin came down for a visit.  Of course the first thing Preston did was open his Easter goodies from Caitlin, Aunt Pat and Uncle Dennis.

Then it was off to the neighborhood egg hunt….that was nothing like last year when Preston actually got an egg.  We got their at 3:01.  It started at 3.  It was over at 3:00 and 30 seconds.  Preston happily got back on his bike and it was off to the playground!

Later we did a puzzle and Preston decided he would take a picture of Caitlin and myself.  I must say he did a great job.  Please excuse me half in my pajamas and half still dressed from the day.

Of course no holiday is complete without holiday cupcakes.  Check out these masterpieces…which we made with butter instead of oil.  They were positively divine.

That afternoon we decided to pass some time at Inflation Nation. All the birthday parties are done right now so Preston has not bounced in a while.  As I usually limit this activity, here were some highlights of his a tad over an hour of fun until Mommy dragged him out.

We had a lot of rain on Monday.  So much so it necessitated a rain slicker and the rain boots (this time used for rain instead of FOUR snowstorms-yes still a bit bitter, but the 80 degree temps are melting the bitterness away).  Check out Preston’s rain gear courtesy of Grandma totally falling in love with a children’s boutique on Madison Avenue. And it even adds height!   Hope the Easter Bunny is good to everyone this weekend!

OK that rain gear is just freaken amazing. I love the story about the easter egg hunt. I've always maintained that it feels like they're done in 30 seconds too and apparently that is accurate! It's always a bummer to get there early and wait around - for a hunt that takes 30 seconds. Love the inflatable shots too!

Oh...my...word. That raincoat! I love it!! Seriously, I will not even be able to show this picture to Seamus, because he'll have me hopping on the next metro down to NYC in search of the Madison Ave boutique!! Awesome cupcakes, so how did you do the butter? Was it a mix and you substituted an equal amount of butter for the oil? This preggo lady MUST try it now!! Bummer about the egg hunt, but Pres is awesome for just hopping on his bike and heading off to find something more fun to do. Happy Easter, have a great weekend!

Looks like another fun weekend with family! I love Preston's raincoat - he is such a cutie!! Bummer about the egg hunt, but it sounds like Preston was just as happy to go to the park to play! Those cupcakes look so yummy! Happy Easter!!

Holy cow...you guys have been so busy lately. Is this what your life is always like?!?! Looks like fun, though. Too bad you missed the easter egg hunt, at least he barely noticed!

Happy Easter to Kim and Pres! We had a rainy one while you all enjoyed the nice dry warm temps. What a switch. No worries about the Easter Egg hunt. Looks like he had a fab Easter without it. Those cupcakes looked the yummiest!!

As always, Preston is freakin' adorable. I could just eat him up in that rain gear - and the boots - AWESOME! Looking forward to seeing you guys soon!

Sawyer would go nuts over that Tom and Jerry shirt..for the record. And oh my, you are a cupcake queen...everytime I see your photos I get a craving! And little Preston is a great photographer. Have I ever told you that I love your hair...so jealous!
