We decided to have our Easter meal out this year as we didn't have the time or energy to pull together a big meal. However...we had not taken ALL three of our little ones out yet!! So, in preparation for our Easter outing, we decided to do two trial runs on Friday and Saturday before Easter. Our Friday outing went really well and our Saturday outing to church was pretty disasterous. We decided that good communication and listening skills between George and I was the key to a smooth outing (that is IF the children cooperate also). Easter Sunday came and we met Ashley and her boyfriend Jake at uptown kitchen for a delicious brunch and mimosa's. The twins did well at the restaurant and Ava was a little ray of sunshine. We had brought along all of Ava's Easter Eggs, so we hid them around the Villa Macri fountain and common areas. She was SO EXCITED to hunt eggs and she seemed to know what to do and how to do it without much help. We still haven't figured out how she knew what to do. I wasn't able to see all the fun she had as the twins were now in feeding mode and crying for their bottles. However, for the following two weeks after Easter she wanted us to hide the eggs over and over again so she could find them. She didn't care that there was no longer treats in them. Next year should be so much fun to watch all three of them race to find the eggs and we won't have to attempt any trial runs.
