James' First Easter!


We had a great first Easter as a family! Very low key, which was nice and relaxing.

Although he's too young to notice, I still had the urge to add a little Easter decor around the house last week for James' first Easter! He had fun helping me decorate, and looking at all of the lights and colorful eggs in his front row seat, the forward facing Baby Bjorn. 

We started the day off with brunch at our house with Grandma and Grandpa Wisch, and then had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Yale's.

Here is the little man in all of his first Easter morning glory:


The Easter bunny came to visit!


For brunch, I made two new strata recipes that I highly recommend you try: this Apple Cinnamon one from Cooking Light, and this Monte Cristo one from Food & Wine. Although I've never made strata before, I love eating it. So, I needed to learn how to make it! These are so easy, and you can make it the night before (when baby is sleeping) to chill overnight. Therefore, brunch is made easy the day of - just throw it in the oven and an hour later, it's done! Perfect. I think we may have found a new Easter breakfast tradition (and possibly Christmas too) - they were so tasty!

Smiles for Grandma!

My parents always seem to shy away from the camera! But, we managed to get a good family shot:
Me & my snuggle bunny!

Of course, the Easter Bunny was very generous and visited James here as well:

In addition to his Easter baskets, James received this adorable personalized "James Theodore's Snuggle Bunny" book with a matching plush bunny to snuggle. So sweet. 

A big thanks to our parents for a great day spent with family!
