A Very Happy Easter

The Easter bunny visited us on Sunday. Of course William had a basket full of goodies from the bunny, Mommy & Daddy and grandparents. Maren just had a few things. (Thanks, Pops!) I'm sure her basket will look quite different next year!

Maren LOVES her rings!

We spent most of our Easter Sunday with the DeFuscos. We started the afternoon with an Easter Egg hunt for Emily & William. Since Emily is only 1 1/2 her eggs were a laid on the grass. The 66 eggs that Mike hid for William were in every bush, tree and plant in their backyard. Em wanted to carry her own basket and it got quite heavy, but she was determined to do it herself. Michael had to carry William's since it got so full. After the hunt we had a delicious Easter dinner. Michael was VERY excited to eat Mrs. Pat's home cooking! He waited all weekend for her roast and gravy!

Emily finally got a look at William's basket and wanted Uncle Lipps to give her some of his eggs.

William & Michael going through his loot. He got a little over $3 in change, lizards and Curious George stamps and a stamp pad. Emily was very curious and made sure Uncle Lipps knew she wanted in on the action.

Maren checked out what was going on.

Michael and I are convinced that her tongue doesn't fit in her mouth! She is always sticking it out!

It was too cold for Jack to go outside so he and Mr. Lou stayed in the house.
Jack is staying awake more so I was quick to grab the camera and get some Mommy & Jack moments.

Maren's not crawling yet, but she makes her way to what she wants. She twists, turns and rolls in every direction.

A brief brother/sister moment!

Emily is usually right at William's heels trying to see what he's doing. She is starting to get more and more interested in Maren. I couldn't get a good shot of them together. Most of the time if Maren has something in her hands William is right there to grab it and show her the correct way to play with it. This time Emily was right there the grab the ball, but she was quick to give it back and find out where Will went.

Some of William's eggs from the hunt had Curious George stamps in them. They came in quite handy as he started to get antsy in the afternoon. I just didn't think it through all the way. He made everyone, including the dogs, fabulous stamp art. The bad part was that at the end it turned into finger print art work. He was stained blue all over his hands, a little on his face and on one ear. We quickly dumped he and Em in the tub. Most of the blue came off. He and Maren had school pictures on Monday and one of the requests is to be stamp and (fake) tatoo free--- way to go, Mom!
