Easter & San Diego

Easter is a low-key holiday with my Uly's family because his parents are usually in Mexico for the holiday and we wait to celebrate it when they come back.  This year I was missing my traditions that I had grown up with and a little homesick for my family so I decided to do a little Easter celebration anyways!


Uly's family does Easter a little differently - they save their empty egg shells for months, then fill them with confetti.  After dinner Uly's sister and parents hide them all over the backyard and let everyone lose to run around and smash the confetti filled eggs on each other! It's so much fun! They don't really dye eggs though so I decided that I'm going to dye eggs with them every year, probably the day before Easter. :) I wasn't sure if they would like it, but we ended up having to go back to the store for more eggs them to dye! 



Everyone stuffing their faces.  I made everything myself and it was so good!! I did a turkey in a roaster and it was delicious, despite being just a little overcooked.  I was so proud of myself for pulling it off!



Ignore my unmade bed - I couldn't resist putting this picture of Oliver talking to my parents on here!

The next weekend we drove down to San Deigo to go to the Zac Brown Band concert with my friend Cory and his boyfriend Jon.  We had an absolute blast at the concert and the next day Cory cut Oliver's hair and bleached and cut my hair! 



The before...



I love how he's looking at me like what the heck are you getting me into mom??



Now he's really unhappy!



Diaper bum!



This is all the hair that Cory ended up taking off of him! Crazy, huh!



The final product! It's so adorable and I just love it.  I know he loved his long hair, but I think he's so much happier with the shorter hair and it'll be so much cooler for the hot summer months ahead!
