Easter

Here are some long delayed pictures from Easter. We celebrated at Uncle Bob and Auntie Geri's house. Carolyn loved Rocco and Roscoe (Auntie Geri's granddogs) and Anna, Joseph and Robert were great with James and Carolyn. Thanks to Auntie Katie for the last three pics.

Easter morning

Carolyn and James had a great time going through their Easter baskets on Easter morning. Among the highlights: for Carolyn- Minnie Mouse and Friends underpants (hopefully more news on that front soon, we're on day 7 and so far so good), Pinkalicious! (her new favorite book, thanks Grandma Dolly and Papa Chuck!) and the Mommy and baby pink bunny who now hold a spot of honor on her bed and for James: his blue singing bunny and Winnie the Pooh book.

Coloring Eggs

Papa Dave and Grandma Tracey sent us a box of Easter goodies including stickers, crafts, a necklace and bracelet that Carolyn won't take off and an Easter Egg dying kit. Saturday, the 23rd, was a beautiful day so we did our dying outside. Carolyn loved it!

Egg Hunting at Dominick's

We were up long before the 7:30 start so we decided to go to the annual Dominick's Easter Egg Hunt (just like I did as a kid) on the Saturday before Easter.

James and the Easter Giraffe (we're not sure what happened to the bunny).

There were only three kids in the 0-2 aisle so Carolyn could have had a gazillion eggs, but after gathering 15 or so, she decided that she had enough.
