Happy Easter

Holidays this year have been interesting.  While it's exciting to have Harrison around for the holiday seasons, it's also hard to decide if we should "go all out".  We decided that since he's only 4 months old and isn't going to remember or understand holiday traditions that we'll wait till next year to start getting into family traditions.  While we didn't get Harrison an Easter basket with a bunch of goodies inside, we did travel up to Vermont to spend some time with family.

Here's what Ben and I got in our Easter basket this year!

Saturday was a super busy day and Harrison did really well keeping up!  We started out the day by going to Billings Farm in Woodstock, VT.  We made the trip with Ben's sisters Megan and Candi and our sister in law Jen.  We also had cousins galore in tow!  Including Harrison there were 7 kids!  We love that Harrison will have so many cousins to play with when he gets a little older.

Harrison wasn't too thrilled with the baby animals as he slept in the moby wrap the ENTIRE time!  I on  the other hand was so excited to see all of the sweet baby animals.  There was a 5 day old calf, 5 day old lambs, baby ducks, and chicks.  There was also a barn with lots of cows and horse drawn carriage rides.

Totally uninterested!

This cow was so funny…… was loving the kids scratching under her chin. 

Baby calf!

Later on in the afternoon we all trekked over to Candi and Alex's house to dye Easter eggs and have an Easter Eve dinner.  Harrison was pretty content in the moby wrap but at times was a cranky beast.  I think he was just a little overwhelmed with all of the people, noises, and new sights.  I'm sure he'll get use to his big crazy family in no time!

On Sunday we spent the morning in Quechee watching Georgia and Charlotte hunt for eggs.  I can't wait for next year when Harrison will be able to join in!  We then went on to visit Ben's Nana before driving down to Bow to visit my Mom, Dad, and Grandma.  It was such a crazy fun busy Easter weekend.  I'm so excited for next year when Harrison will "get" what's going on and will be able to partake in the Easter fun!

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend!

Happy Easter!

Love, 

Ben, Laura, Harrison, Nyla and Jade
