Happy Easter!

Our Easter festivities began Saturday with a trip to visit the Easter bunny who made an appearance at Uncle Michael's police department kid's party and then the second annual painting of the belly's occurred at our house later on that day. My very good friends Kelly and Shelby are both due within days of me and they traveled down for our painting session, some yummy food, and a nice relaxing pedicure. The guys held down the fort with the kids and had a good time themselves. This is the second time we have been able to do it (the first being pumpkin bellies) and I must say I think the eggs top the pumpkin bellies! The kids even posed for a picture too! It was a very special day and one never to be forgotten!

I found it!

Mommy made me wear this to church, I cried and cried, but I still had to wear it...mean old mommy!

Look! There it is, that bunny can't trick me!

Colin woke up and we began our Easter Sunday...as we walked down the stairs he found his basket on the dining room table and was quite excited! After looking through that he found all the eggs that the bunny hid around the house...and there's nothing better than M&M's and a loolipop all before 8:30 a.m.! We headed to church which was the first time we've attended near our house...it's my sister's parish and they have a family mass which is so great for the kids...Colin did great, so hopefully we'll keep it up! Actually when I went up for communion the priest noticed I was pregnant and blessed me which was very nice....then as the mass is wrapping up he began talking about how there is woman out there pregnant and due it May, "could she please stand up?"...I must have turned five shades of red, but I managed to stand up, and he commented on how this was the true meaning of Easter, new life...I actually got all teary eyed...it hit home because it's something that my Uncle Rob always does (blesses the baby and talks about new life...) anyhow, Colin is napping, I think Daddy is napping, and I have time to read the Sunday paper! Then off to Grammy's house for dinner...we hope all of our family and friends have a very special Easter with their loved ones!
