There they all are - Caitlin, Jason, Abby, Ryan

CHEESE!

The diva stare-down. "Abby, you are looking a bit taller, you're not thinking of passing me by now are you???"

There were two chocolate eggs by eachother. Unlike the BOYS, they each took one, Caitlin gave Abby the pink one, and of course took the purple one for herself.

The Easter Bunny arrived bright and early at our house, bringing gifts for Jason and Caitlin, and hiding the eggs they dyed the day before. After a nice long family bike ride in the gorgeous weather, we headed up to see our extended family in Angwin (past Napa, past St. Helena!) for our annual Easter gathering.

As always, it was beautiful! Another Easter Egg hunt (this one MUCH larger, swimming, lots of eating, more gifts, tons of family and gobs of fun! Caitlin and Abby again showed us how they are growing to be great friends. The age difference (and height difference) seems to be getting smaller, and they genuinely enjoy playing together now. Jason loved having free reign to roam around. He saw a snake, lizards, poison oak (yikes, hopefully none came home with us) and had cousins to play with.

Daddy and Grandpa even got in a water fight! I didn't take any pictures because I was trying to stay out of the line of fire. Sorry for the mass amount of pictures, the kids were just looking so adorable. I couldn't stop myself :)

Happy Easter everyone!
