Easter in Central Oregon

Cousin Kirabella and Brooklyn playing at the park

For Easter Weekend we went ot Bend, OR so Danny coudl go Sage Rat hunting with Uncle Angelo on Saturday adn then we could spend Easter with the family in Oregon. Before we left Brooklyn had another week filled with a fever of 104.6 we took her to the doctor and they did a urine test and throat swab and it all came back negative. Frustrating not knowing why these fevers occur. Luckily she was cleared so we could go to Oregon and not infect the rest of the family. The first night there she slept on Auntie and Uncles bed they each took turns sleeping on the couch so they didn't both hav eto sleep with the wild girl. She is so spoiled and I was too since B got sick from dinner that night and started throwing up and was up most of the night with Auntie. Thank you Auntie for taking such good care of her and Uncle for snuggling with her.

Brooklyn loves to swing, the look on her face is not to sure about going so high, but I think she gets over that quickly!





This is amazing ot me, she used to always be scared to go down slides by herself and when she did she put her feet out ot stop her form going fast, now she goes down huge slides all by herself and has decided to be a climber of everything!

Uncle looks like her is feeling the effects of sleeping with a sick kiddo most of the night. The boys took the girls to the park, so Auntie and I could spend some time together. Thanks boys it was a fun afternoon away.

Friday night Uncle and Auntie surprised us with a gift card and reservations to Pine Tavern so that we could celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary together since Danny and Uncle were going to be hutning on our Anniversary. It was the best night we had great babysitters and got to have a meal without saying sit down, stop that, we are almost done, finish your dinner, etc...

This is why it is called Pine Tavern, the trees are literally in the middle of the restaurant! Yes they are real trees, we had a window seat that viewed the river.  It was beautiful, we took our time and ordered appitizers then waited a while to order our meal. We were there for 2 hours talking and slowly enjoying our dinner, they even gave us free dessert!

This was our view, after dinner we walked around downtown and had forgotten that we had movie tickets to use, we were to late for any of the early movies so we went to the bookstore for a litle bit then went back to the house to hang out with Auntie and Uncle. Thank you so much for the much needed night away, it was such a blessing.



Gotta have the self portrait! Happy Anniversary babe, I hope we have many more years together!



 This is what happens when you leave the sprinklers on all night and it gets really cold!


Uncle froze my car!



Close up of the grass, it was so cool looking

At Macy's they had the Easter bunny and you could take pictures with him, well if you were not completely afraid of lage furry animals like Brooklyn is, so instead you pose with the window display.

Look Auntie Eggs!

Lunch with the newest Licitra Family, Deanna, Bell and Joe.

The Easter Bunny came!! I had to get her a choclate bunny because I always wanted one in my Easter basket ( it is currently in the freezer since it was a bit to much chocolate for her to eat at once, I think she really just liked the shiny paper and doesn't even know it is candy.)

Dress up shoes, so fun!

Cool glasses from Auntie Dina

Yum, mom look what I opened a Reeses Peanut Butter Egg

 Look at my bunny basket from Auntie Dina

Coloring with Daddy

All Ready for the Easter Egg hunt with Cousin Bella sponsored by Cousin Deanna's Radio station at the bowling alley

Um, no she is not attached to her Uncle..she would be if she could be she loves him!

Stay away from me scarey looking bunny!!

She was off her schedule a bit and had a hard time staying awake for the festivites.

Power nap worked, now time to Bowl

 I found a yellow one, they hide something like 800 eggs in the arcade, it was crazy and had 2 golden eggs that you got an extra special basket when you found it.

Oh and see all the ballons on the floor fun, but the kids kept stepping on them to pop them and it was so loud I could not handle it for very long. She got a basket full of eggs adn we were out of there. Brooklyn and Bella dyed easter eggs at Autie's but I do not have those pictures, they had a good time that's all that matters.

It was a great Easter pretty mellow and quiet we had dinner with Auntie, Uncle, there 2 friends and us. Later cousins came over to spend some time with us. It was a wonderful weekend and we were glad we were able to spend the weekend and the holiday with everyone there. Thanks for a great time.
