Happy Easter!

I cannot believe it is Easter already. Where did the first three months of the year go? Hopefully soon this snow will melt, the sun will shine and the flowers will bloom. Have I told you that I am ready for summer??

We celebrated with our family today. We had our Easter dinner at my mother-in-law's home and feasted on a delicious turkey with all the works. YUMMY! It is always so much fun when the family gets together. I feel blessed to have such a fun loving family. We are all pretty close and what I love the most is that "my side" of the family always celebrates the holidays with my husband's side of the family. So we really don't have to do the bouncing from house to house. It just works out so nice. The children had the traditional easter egg hunt, but because of this lovely weather we got last night, the hunt took place in the basement rather than outdoors. It all worked out well though and the kids found all the eggs. We also had an extra special visit today from the Easter Bunny (a.k.a. Nathan, my 16 year old son). He visits us every year. This year my youngest, Bella, was absolutely terrified of him though. I mean, TERRIFIED. Poor girl wouldn't go near him - just sat and cried. I felt so bad. It's the whole "I can't see his real face" kind of thing. Anyhow, I wanted to share a couple of the snapshots I took of the Easter Bunny. The first is of my brother, Art, lovin' on the bunny. Isn't that just so cute!



The next is of Great Grandma, bless her heart. She just was so game for getting a photo with the bunny. She is one lively, go lucky lady in her young 80's, completely a hoot to be around. We always know we will have a good time with Grandma around.



Oh ya, I wanted to tell you something very important. Tonight I learned the "Soldier Boy" dance!! Well, sort of! My daughter, Kayla, and my sister-in-law, Stacey, and I practiced and practiced. I rediscovered that I am not the most coordinated person when it comes to dance routines. It actually brings back some really bad memories from high school...pom pom tryouts. OY... Anyhoo, it was so much fun making an attempt to do the Soldier Boy dance. Nathan even got up there to try it. My husband showed us his moves too, with the Running Man and the Roger Rabbit. No one can dance like my man! What a riot. A family that dances together, stays together.

Well, it's time for the Easter Bunny's assistants to help out with the baskets and stuff. The eggs need to be hidden, the baskets need to be filled and it's already midnight. I wish you all a very relaxed and happy Easter holiday.
God Bless...
