A Beautiful Easter

The Hickey family had a fabulous Easter in beautiful Santa Barbara at Sean's sister, Roxie's home. Made all the more fabulous surrounded by our wonderful family members.

We shared a delicious Easter feast prepared by all, sitting around a lovely garden table. Roxie's organic garden is gorgeous!

Tristan and Nathan were exteremly excited to spend some time with their cousin Cole, and of course all of their other cousins too!

And then Aunt Roxie brought the eggs out for the egg toss. Wow, they really had a great time! I didn't get a shot of it, but trust me, they were real, raw eggs and a couple of people got it pretty good!

And the winners were the father and son team. Tristan looks so proud.

The gang of cousins, all boys, got their bags and the instructions from Aunt Roxie regarding the treasure hunt.......

.......and the hunt was on.

And then it was over and the boys all sat down to look over their loot.

Based on the facial expressions, I think Nathan and Aiden found some good stuff!


Since our kids have one of the best Aunties in the world, the fun was not over yet. Aunt Roxie had more fun planned for them with a pinata filled with Easter sweets and she got them all fired up to take their best swings for the treats.





These are memories my family will cherish for a lifetime and so I'm going to take this time right now to tell all of you We Love You. Thank you for the memories.

I tell myself everyday "Life is here to be lived fully and authentically.....go ahead just take a huge giant bite out of it" Sometimes, I find it hard to follow my own advice, but Aiden - well, it looks like he knows exactly how to take a bite out of life!

Love, Lisa
