Easter

Easter came with special visitors this year: the Easter Bunny (of course!) and my cousin Eva with her husband Matthias from Germany. And even better my mom and my sister joined us as well. What a treat for all of us!

Easter also came with an amazing brunch. It wouldn't be Easter without a great brunch in the Weikard family. And of course good food always seems to appear when my mother is around.

It was a rainy soggy Easter day but it sure didn't stop my older munchkin from hunting his Easter eggs and my little one from trying to keep up with him.

Haley trying out her new dress from Oma and Aunt Jenni. Daddy was not home to disapprove of the sweet girlyness. Mommy thought she was a doll.

And the Easter bunny is always sooo good to us...

...even as we get older.

Turkey Day

We got to spend Thanksgiving Day with my family this year (we enjoyed my mother-in-law's turkey a few days later). And a wonderful day it was. I am very thankful to have gotten to spend the day with my whole sweet bunch.

Morning Eyes:

To get us all out of the house, we took an outing to Moss Rock, the perfect rock, river, and woods playground for a then soon-to-be four year old.

Little sis had a fun time too.

And so did the rest of us:

Love my two:

And love my three:

Christmas "Day"

We finally got our long anticipated holiday break on December 28th! We drove to Huntsville to spend some Christmas time with Matt's family. Luckily for us Mike and Beverly came the same time we did and Dan and Matt's parents were willing to wait for us with celebrating Christmas so we were able to have a Christmas Day a few days late.

Here are some pics from our second Christmas:

The cousins playing

Unwrapping

Graham had fun with the wrapping paper and bows

Lucas' favorite present: the Dinosaur Train (train + dinosaurs = two favorite things combined; what could be better?). Thank you Uncle Mike and Aunt Bev!

Approved for all ages

Lucas insisted on wearing his new jacket around the house.

New ski goggles!

Dan got a lounger... what a perfect present.

Christmas Eve

I am still way behind on my blogging. I'm going to have to catch up so I can actually write about present day things like all the snow we're still getting in Nashville. My brother-in-law emailed that in Arkansas they're calling it Snow-Plosion 2011 (they called the last snow storm a few weeks ago Snow-Mageddon). I almost didn't make it in to work last night (I finally did thanks to my sweet husband shoveling the driveway for half an hour and then driving me in). It was a traffic mess! One of my co-workers took 3 hours to make it to her house one mile away and it was taking people >1 hour to get out of our parking garage. Oof. I guess that day it was good I was working nights and wasn't making the rush hour trip home. Nashville drivers do not know how to handle snow!

Now to the actual post. My family came up to Nashville to celebrate Christmas Eve with us (as they have been sweet enough to do every year since we started residency). Matt and I both had to work Christmas this year but were both home on the afternoon/eve of Christmas Eve giving us just enough time to have a little Christmas celebration.

Here are some pics:

Decorating the tree. Lucas did surprisingly good with the tree in part probably because he didn't know that I had chocolate ornaments (non-breakable) on the bottom part of the tree this year.
