Easter in Angels Camp

We had a wonderful Easter Celebration at our new church, Foothill Community Church followed by an equally wonderful brunch! The boys ended the day playing with the Cascarones (Mexican confetti eggs) that Mimi/my mom had sent. Thankfully they were confined to my bathtub at that point.
I'm pretty sure this is the last year Daddy is going to find it "cute" to see Brett in his little searsucker suit and saddle shoes. ;-) Come to think of it - Daddy did not find it cute, he just humors me and lets me. :D What a guy!
Playing with the Carscarones - they each LOVED cracking them and the pooring the contents of the egg on one another.

View of Greenhorn Creek from the patio during our Easter Brunch. This is where we live now. Absolutely beautiful! Come out for a visit...we have a guest room ready and waiting for you!
Feeding the adorable goat the restaurant had to keep the kiddos busy. Brett LOVED feeding the goat and the goat LOVED eating so they were the perfect pair!
such a sweet little face :)
Brett absolutely LOVED this goat! In this picture he is "comforting" the goat. He had just been over to pet the bunny and the goat was "yelping" at Brett to "get back over here and feed me!" He was literally saying to the goat, "It's okay, I'm right here. I didn't leave." Soooo cute how much he LOVES animals!
Brett was SO excited to find the eggs the Easter bunnny had hidden.
The boys PROMISING to be nice to one aother during the egg hunt.... Brett is looking a little more devilish than angelic tho.....
Found one! ;-)

Irish Days Parade and Festivities

At Eric's new school in Angels Camp, St. Patrick's Preschool, they were invited to participate in the annual "Irish Days" parade which takes place in charming Murphys, California. The parade is adorable because I think half the parade is made up of preschools from the surrounding towns. The kids really love it! Even little brother, Brett, got to ride on the float.
Headed to the parade
