For the first time in many years I don’t have to worry about doing homework during Spring Break.
Instead, I get to spend time goofing around with my family.
Hosting a tea party (more on this soon).
And eating the kids’ Easter candy (thanks sister for playing Easter bunny because I got the kids nothing this year).
Actually, I think I’ll skip the candy and have a Pink Lilikoi Martini instead. It’s healthier.
Hope you all had a fabulous Easter!

Of course. All the tea was decaf so it won’t make Baby Jessie go crazy.

What a wonderfully photogenic group.
Also, I hope you were jesting about skipping the candy. Geez, woman.
Happy (little late) Easter!

If they had good chocolate I would be all over it but instead they had jelly beans and sour lemon candy. I’ll take the martini over that candy any day.
I am not in school but was so happy to have a break from homework, my kids homework that is. We had the best time just seeing where the day took us. Your family is just beautiful, such sunny bright photos.

GREAT Pics! And the girls looks so cute.
We were complete FAILURES this year: no pics.
Also, I am ALL OVER that martini. YUM!
I hired my husband to be the official photographer this year so we would have some pictures. But I did completely fail at getting the girls Easter baskets.

Looks like you had fun!
We’re in the middle of spring break and I’m a little bit ready for it to be over. LOL
