Easter in NJ

The weekend before Easter my dad flew into Ohio. We packed up the car with two kiddos and all their gear and headed to NJ for "spring break." Chris joined us on Good Friday and we got to stay through Easter.

We played trains every day and just about everyone tried their hand at making elaborate train tracks.

Mark loving his new sunglasses from grandma--- such a stud!

We had many special moments...

Every morning Poppie would get up with Mark and give him a mixture of animal crackers and "jumping jacks" (i.e. Apple Jacks cereal) for breakfast

Mid morning Mark and Grandma would make smoothies together---(pretty much every time Mark sees a blender he mentions Grandma's smoothies... so yummy!!!)

Aunt Beth sure knows how to get out the giggles :-)

Raymond loved on Mark and Lillia

We made a trip to Great Aunt Gwen's and Uncle Bill's. Aunt Gwen spoiled the kids with adorable outfits and super-cool towels. Uncle Bill and Mark spent a majority of time playing games with the pocket door.
