Easter with our families

After a great start to our Easter morning (see below) it was time to head out and see our families.

And in keeping with my tradition, I took lots of pictures of the kids, but none of the adults.  I didn't even get one picture of Rob or myself with the girls, let alone their grandparents.  One day.....

We first headed to my parents' house for brunch!  It began with an egg hunt and LOTS of Easter baskets (each kid left with 3 easter baskets full of fun gifts, movies, shoes, books, and lots of bubbles)

Caitlin definitely got into the egg hunt.  Next year I see her pushing down anyone in her way!

Abigail found her Easter basket with sparkly shoes and Tangled...what a happy girl!

My little LuLu decided to show off her new skill of crawling!  She started crawling on Easter morning...what an Easter miracle!  ;)  She looked beautiful in her Easter dress, I could have held her all day!

I cute moment I randomly caught between my grandma and Abigail.

Cousin picture attemps!  I took like 20 pictures, and it was funny to watch Caitlin's face go from excited to annoyed and Lucy to fall a little bit further each picture.  Abigail kept her same "natural" smile the whole time!

falling.....

Cousin cuddles

Aunt Katie with the girls

After a great brunch with too much food (we get polish food and it's such a treat), horseradish, and some mimosas, it was time to head to Great Nani and Great Papa's house for the Rob's mom's family Easter!

It's always so great to see the family...and Uncle Al and Auntie Jam are back from Florida so that makes it even better!

When we got there, Nana and Papa had HUGE baskets full of goodies for the girls!

"Can we open?"

ELMO!  I have a feeling he'll be joining us on our vacation this summer!

Great Nani with her great-granddaughters.  She always serves too much food, but it's so delicous.  Homemade ravioli's....mmmm....my mouth is watering thinking about dinner!  She also has baskets for the girls!

And Cake!  Lots...and lots...and lots of cake!
(Funny side story:  at my parent's house, someone asked "Who wants cake?" and out of nowhere, Caitlin raised her hand and said "Me"...I've never seen her do that.  No matter what she was doing, if she heard cake, she stopped and raised her hand.  It was so funny!)

Abigail's Pinkalicious puzzle was a big hit with Abigail....and the adults!   This puzzle was done numerous times, Abigail was in heaven!  It's a reversible puzzle, which left some adults a little "puzzled"....

Apparenly Uncle Al doesn't do puzzles...but how can you say no to that little face?  

When we got home , I realized I didn't get pics of the girls.  So we attempted....

Abigail's "smile" is so natural...but look at that bug smile!  ;)

Sisters....melt my heart!

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Easter such a great day.  It's so nice to be able to spend the day with our families...we really treasure these times!
