The family enjoyed a very nice, cold, intermittently snowy Easter holiday this weekend, sharing the day with Grandma and Grandpa Waldron and Great Grandpa.
Before the company arrived, the Austin and Victoria first enjoyed searching for Easter eggs and opening gifts from the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny decided to hide eggs specific too each child this year, which successfully prevented them from competing for, and arguing about, eggs and treats.
In addition to typical Easter basket fare (e.g. marshmallow and peanut butter chocolate covered eggs and jelly beans, each child received 2 wrapped gifts. Austin received a R/C helicopter…

…and a much desired LEGO Ninjago set.

Victoria received a Paw Patrol Pad…

…and cupcake crafts.

Austin was eager to assemble his LEGO set right away, and Victoria started her crafts shortly after opening her gifts as well. Before the day was complete, she had decorated her hair brush.

By the mid-afternoon, Austin discovered how cool his helicopter could be and has been playing with it ever since. To keep it so light-weight, the battery only lasts about 7 minutes, and takes about 20 minutes to charge – so he has been playing with it as long as he can every half-hour. Initially, we were certain that he would break it as he crashed into the walls and ceiling and it crashed to the floor a few dozen times – violently. Fortunately, it proved to be more durable than it looked and Austin has now begun to master the controls.

By the end of the day, the children were tired – and Victoria was cranky – but the both slept well.
So did Keith and Christine.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Waldron and Great Grandpa for sharing the day with us!
