Easter in Ventura












We went down to my Aunt Carmen's house for Easter. They have been so fabulous over the last 5 years to our family. They have really been our surrogate family for every Holiday over the last 5 years. We never have to bring anything and they always spoil my boys rotten and yesterday was no exception. They bought Nick a basketball hoop and him and the big boys had a blast turning their living room into a gym. The hoop worked great until Aidan found the ball and while hiding under a blanket ate big chunks out of it. Luckily, the big boys found other things to do with Nick like baseball and football in the backyard. They got Aidan a Lightning McQueen remote control car. He played with that thing all day. The only time he stopped playing it was to go orange picking in the backyard and he picked every orange they had on their tree. They also gave everyone huge baskets full of candy and the boys got Easter eggs filled with money. We had a wonderful ham and roast beef dinner with all the side dishes you could imagine. They also had a cake and balloons and presents to celebrate my 30th b-day which was so sweet! It was very hard to say good-bye knowing it might be the last time I get to see them all for a while. My boys have loved Mikey and Jimmy like their own cousins. We will miss everybody down there so much!
