Happy 1st Easter Miles!

Wow - look at this basket full of goodies!

I like Easter!

Busy playing with second cousins Jenna and Sam.

Great Uncle Lumpy sure knows how to make me giggle!

Swinging with Great Aunt Jodie and cousin Meagan.

Thanks Great Aunt Carol for the Easter basket!

Lunch fun with honorary Auntie Sharon Huse.

First time in a restaurant highchair - not too shabby!

Road Trip
Friday morning Rachel, Corey, Miles and I road tripped to Mankato to visit our wonderful family friend Sharon Huse. We lunched at Panera, she gave the babies adorable puppets and lots of snuggles and we mall walked. Sharon has known me since birth and has always been there during my most important life moments - and now she continues to be like family by being involved in Miles' life. We are so lucky to know her! It was a great girls + babies day out.

Easter
We started off the morning going to church and Miles was the BEST behaved baby in the cry room. For lunch we headed to Tony and Lisa's house to get together with the Nickolay side of the family. We celebrated with 22 family members and Miles got to eat at the big table thanks to a booster seat left over from Tony and Lisa's children. My Godmother Carol generously gave Miles an adorable Easter bunny and musical toy which he happily banged on his tray all through lunch.

Next we headed to the Giesen side of the family and had dinner at Lumpy and Jodie's house with lots more uncles, aunts and cousins. The day was so beautiful that everyone sat outside in their big front yard and enjoyed the sunshine. Jodie even gave Miles his first push in a big swing on their swing set.

At both houses today we enjoyed lots of chit-chat, laughter and food. Miles was busy all day as the receiver of a lot of hugs and attention. We're lucky to have such a large loving family close by and miss those family members not here today. Happy Easter everyone!
