Easter Bliss
Eating! Oh baby did we eat good!! Eggplant, artichokes & spicy meat-a balls....not to mention some fabulous Sicilian pizza in between -we were never hungry.Big thanks to Ryan & Dad for cooking and a shout out to our little helper Tiffany! When we would start to pull out the pots and pans Tiffany would come in and say "Help?" - how can you say no to that!?!
fAmily time! My family came up to spend the Easter weekend with us! It was wonderful, glorious and truely a miracle....I couldn't believe my eyes. My Mom, Dad, Jeanette, Tiffany & Katrina were all here and we had great fun.We were running around with the girls, making cards at Scrapbook Heaven, watching movies "...your shoes....are very....comfortable. Bye" (Ghost Town - MUST see!), blowing bubbles, eating, napping, reading, playing Druthers "If Dad were a vegtable what vegtable would he be? A. Potato B. Carrot C. Rutabega D. Celery". *answer down at the bottom. It was sooooo much fun!!
Sleeping. What is a vacation without a little R&R? My favorite little napping pal was Katrina. Such a cuddler!! (As long as she doesn't see her mommy she'll stick with you).
Tiffany and Katrina faces!! It is sooo much fun to see more of their two - very different - personalities come out as they are getting older. Tiffany puts on quite a show when she is up for it. I would say "Smile Tiffy" and she would give this squinty eyed grin to me - adorable! Katrina has THE FACE it is the "Oh face". She only did it every so often and it was my quest to capture it on film. After many proddings (My Dad took a picture of all three of us giving the "Oh Face" to Katrina trying to make her mimic it) and a load of blurry pictures I got it!! She sucks her lips in and pulls her face down as far as it can go - SOOO funny.
Egg hunting & Easter baskets. We took Tiffany and Katrina to our town's annual Egg Hunt. It was so much fun watching Tiffy get those eggs. Katrina is also quite the egg hunter......did she have any accomplices? The Easter bunny was not a great hit. Tiffany didn't even want to be by it and Katrina just looked at him like "Why do you have all that fur?". Easter baskets were fun! Hello to my honk'n huge Reeses egg (Thank you Jeanette!)While up in Portland I went to a Good Will and I found the perfect Easter basket for Ryan. The pail is green with football field yard markings all around it and the handle is a goal post with a football in it - perfect!! Ryan liked it.
Reading. The first day at the house Katrina tried to unload our bookshelves....kinda got peeved too when we wouldn't let her unload all the big books that she wanted to. Tiffany fell in love with "There's a Monster at the End of This Book" - you know the one with Grover? She thought it was the best thing ever! My favorite part was when she wanted to read the book. She would open her eyes wide, hold her hand out (in a "Stop Stop" motion) and say "Uhhhhh Ahhh" for every page - sooooo sweet!!
Hope that all of you had a great Easter too! *Answer: Potato.

I LOVE The Monster at the End of This Book! It was definitely a fave as a small child. It sounds as though you had a wonderful Easter. Holidays are always better when you get to spend them with family.
How fun! I absolutely loved Ghost Town, too. It's about time there was a comedy that wasn't completely loaded with inappropriate material, don't you think? So glad your family could travel to see YOU. That makes it even better.
