We have had a wonderful spring/Easter/Passover weekend over here at the Miller house! The fun started when Auntie Becca (or Auntie Betta, as Sam says) arrived. The weather has been great so we took several trips to the playground.

On Thursday, we went to an Easter egg hunt at Upton Hill Park with our friends Deirdre and Evie and Ellen and Katie (and little Susie too!). It was really funny trying to get the kids to stand still for this photo!

Before the egg hunt began, they had lots of fun activities for the kids like coloring pages, a moon bounce, and the Easter Bunny. But Sam headed straight for this tractor (it was not part of the planned entertainment, just a tractor that they use for park upkeep)!

Then Sam told Auntie Betta that he wanted to sit with the Easter Bunny. I knew that the moment he actually got to the front of the long line, he would decide the Easter Bunny was scary, but sweet Auntie Betta humored him and waited in line with Sam. And since we waited in line, I decided we needed at least one pic…

As predicted, he was not a fan. But then when he saw his pal Evelyn doing it, he decided it wasn’t that bad. Everything is better with a friend!

Finally, the actual Easter egg hunt began! This was so stressful because I wanted Sam to get at least one egg, but I also didn’t want him to take any eggs another kid was going to get! We decided next year it would be easier to just hide some eggs in one of our backyards and have a much smaller Easter egg hunt.

Thursday night, Ben and I went on a date night while Auntie Becca stayed home to babysit. It was sooo fun to go out to dinner just me and Ben!

On Friday, we dyed Easter eggs, got ready for Passover, and enjoyed a delicious Seder meal. The matzo ball soup was great! Unfortunately we didn’t take any pics.

On Saturday, we made up for the previous day’s lack of pictures. The amazing Kelly Crawford came over to take Campbell’s baby pictures and also got some of Sam and the whole family. I can’t wait to get those back and I will be sure to share them here.

In the afternoon, we went to our neighbor Jack’s 3rd birthday party, which included a petting zoo right outside our window!! Sam was a little hesitant to pet the animals at first but warmed up to it!

After a little while, he wanted to go play on the playground and while we were there he saw his friend Elizabeth flying a kite with her family. He was so excited when they invited him to come play with them!

(Are you tired of hearing about our weekend yet? It’s not over!)

Saturday night, the Easter Bunny came and made a special delivery for Sam and Campbell!

Sam was very excited. Campbell, not so much!

Then on Sunday, we put on our Easter best and headed out to brunch.

We had a delicious Mexican brunch at Rosa Mexicano at National Harbor. They even had a special Passover menu for those not eating leavened bread. After brunch we strolled around for a little bit and took a bunch of pictures. The weather was perfect.

Auntie Becca is on her way to the airport now. Bye Auntie Betta!!! We’ll miss you!
