Cookie Exchange

Dana hosted a cookie exchange at her house. I brought the kids with me since it was going to be a bunch of moms and kids. The cookies we brought home were so good. I think most of the weight gain over Xmas was from the cookies. They are my weakness. I have never been to a cookie exchange before, but I highly enjoyed it :)

Below is a picture one of the kiddos took of all of us.

Easter Week

We had a fun-filled Easter weekend. It started off with a trip to Buddy's Pizza the week before Easter. Jessica and Len told us about this event where the Easter Bunny comes and gives each child a basket of goodies, plus each person gets a lunch deal out of it. We all signed up together and it was pretty fun. Since we didn't get to see the Easter Bunny at Somerset this year, this was the perfect opportunity to have a meet and greet with virtually no line. And the pizza is always good! Here is Sean with the Easter Bunny, Bradley was a little too scared:

The Saturday before Easter, we invited the Sackins and Salazars over for brunch. We were excited to show everyone our new house and to meet baby David, Erin's new baby son. I made eggs Benedict, french toast, fruit salad, coffee and mimosas. We also bought some fresh bagels and cream cheese. The kids had a fun time eating and playing outside and us adults got to catch up!

  

On Easter Sunday we headed to the Hersteins in Ann Arbor for our Easter tradition- church, brunch and an egg hunt. This year we went to St Mary's Student Parish because Jenny sings with the choir there sometimes. Brunch was yummy as usual. And all the cousins had fun looking for eggs and opening Easter baskets back at the house. Here is a family pic:

Best Caesar Salad

It is at Flemings Steakhouse. One of the partners had Matt take me out because he was impressed with Matt's commitment to a particular case he was trying. Anyways, I ordered the scallops small plate and the modern Caesar salad. The scallops were great and the salad was AMAZING. It had prosciutto chips and fried capers that went perfectly with the traditional flavors. Yum! Matt ordered the monk fish. Our waiter said it was called that because monks ate them a lot, but it actually tastes like lobster! This was our second time at Flemings and we will be going back again sometime.
