Easter with the Wiles

Cousins... Ethan & Emma

Nan & Pop Pop with the grandkids

Great-grandparents

On Sunday we hosted my family for an early Easter dinner. Our tradition is to have my family over on Palm Sunday for lunch. What a blessing to have not only grandparents, but great-grandparents in our children's lives! We had a day full of food, laughter, hanging out, and more FOOD! The cousins had a great time playing together. Thanks to my mom and sister-in-law Becky for bringing some food. Such a big help! Thanks family for a fun day! If you are looking for a spring salad the following is Becky's yummy recipe...

Layered Strawberry Salad:

4 cups baby spinach leaves

1 pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Low Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

3 cups torn Boston lettuce

1 small red onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings

2 cups strawberries, sliced

1/2 cup PLANTERS Walnut Halves, toasted

1/2 cup KRAFT Creamy Poppy seed Dressing

Place half of the spinach on serving plate.

Top with half each of the cheese, Boston lettuce, onions and strawberries. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with walnuts. Drizzle with dressing just before serving. Enjoy!

Sleeping....

in her bed again! Yeah! Since we have been home from Florida Alissa decided that she did not like her room or bed. Every night there were many tears and a lot of drama! She has been sleeping on her floor bed as she liked to call it. What is a floor bed? One blanket on her floor beside her bed. No comfort that's for sure. Funny thing was that every morning she made her floor bed and was quite proud of it! :-) This week she decided her room was beautiful again and that she like her bed. We found her sleeping in her bed with her Minnie Mouse ears from Disney. Too cute!

Not much else new here. We have been enjoying the very spring like weather here. Benjamin starts outside baseball practice next week so mom's taxi begins!
