Matzoh balls and Easter eggs

It was a busy weekend preparing for and celebrating two holidays. On Saturday night we celebrated Passover with my sister, Ricki, and her family. It wasn't the most in depth Seder, but we managed a mini Seder before the kids got too hungry. Olivia loves to eat soup, so she was excited for matzoh ball soup even though she didn't eat the matzoh ball. This was the first time I have been able to celebrate Passover with my family in years, so it was a special evening for me.

Then we celebrated Easter on Sunday. Olivia woke up to her first Easter basket and egg hunt. She had so much fun searching for eggs and had her first Reese's peanut butter cup. My little lady definitely has a sweet tooth. She had a big smile on her face while she was chewing. She's been asking for chocolate ever since. We were supposed to spend the afternoon with family, but had to cancel our plans because of a stomach bug. The last thing we wanted was a repeat of Christmas! Erik, Olivia, and I spent the afternoon at home and played around the house. It was nice to just enjoy being home because we've been spending most of our weekend afternoons at open houses. We'll start the house hunt again next weekend.
