Easter

We had a very successful Easter... with 12 kids under 2 and a couple of older ones... and about 23 adults! Everyone had a great time. And, I did get the 70 degree weather... but yesterday, on Monday. For Easter it snowed! We "hid" tons of Easter eggs and candy in small adorable little nests we created with plastic grass (which my brother and sister in law will be finding for a long time), but the kids really surprised us. Instead of taking the entire nest, which we thought they would do, they just took a candy or two from the nest. So adorable!

My nephew is so utterly adorable... and I am hopelessly and forever in love with this boy! We took him to the park yesterday and he is so fearless! He climbs and comes down slides face forward (with his auntie holding onto him of course). And then we took him to the aquarium. We all enjoyed his sense of wonder. There is nothing like watching a child ooohing aaaahing in delight!

I come home tomorrow night and I will be so sad to leave him!

DJES!

This morning my newphew started making loud noises indicating that he was finished with breakfast and ready to get down from his highchair. I asked him if he was ready to get down and he responded with a loud DJES! It was adorable! We hadn't heard him say yes before. He answered several other questions with yes too... like are you ready for a nap! He is one remarkable, happy, smart boy. His parents are doing an awesome job raising him.

I took their great, greyhound dog Max out for a walk this morning. We had a lovely time. Its cold, about 20 degrees, and overcast. There is ice on the naked tree branches with the fatest robins I have ever seen! I am going to go back out to try to take some pictures. Its really a winterland right now. Of course, for tomorrow, I am hoping for 70 degree weather for the Easter Egg Hunt!

Oh, and did I mention they have HGTV???!
