We spent the few days prior to Easter with Grandma and Grandpa Reder. They were very sweet to come in and lend us a hand as we continue to adjust to 
2 under 2! They sent Erik and I out to dinner on Friday night (our first dinner out together since Gavin arrived!) and they made a wonderful breakfast for us on Saturday morning. Cassidy had the time of her life, as always! Grandma and Grandpa brought some fun Easter treats that kept her very busy. A highlight for her was the container of bubbles - we went outside and blew bubbles and she was in constant giggles as she tried to chase them down on a very windy day. That night, we got out the bubble bath for the first time - what a hit! She was in tears when bathtime had to end. She spent at least 5 minutes whimpering "night-night bubbles..." Gavin spent most of his time eating and sleeping (his usual routine these days), but he had some great awake time with Grandma and Grandpa that included some first real smiles!On Easter Sunday, the kids got dressed in their Easter outfits and we drove to Clarendon Hills to
visit with Grammy and Grandpa Brown, Aunt Mel, Uncle Aaron and our dog-cousin Cooper. We spent some time visiting with friends at church, then enjoyed a wonderful brunch and dinner prepared by Grammy and Grandpa Brown. They even made our dinner 
milk-free so Cassie could take part - so thoughtful! Cassidy played with Cooper (they're such pals!), had a blast in the patio swing, chased squirrels, and went for an Easter egg hunt. She didn't really get the idea of hunting for eggs, but it was fun to find the treats inside. Gavin slept peacefully in everyone's arms and got funny comments on his preppy Easter clothes. We had a relaxed afternoon - we watched the Master's golf tournament and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.
