Easter 2012

We started our morning off sampling the Easter rolls we crafted the night before. You were Mama's big helper by adding all the ingredients in the mixing bowl and then later you tried your hand at kneading the dough but decided that was a better job for Mama to handle.  You enjoyed eating the tails off the bunny (if it had been chocolate I bet you would have eaten the ears first!)  We then got dressed to meet Gaga, Papa, Auntie Jean and Uncle Jon at church. One of the longest masses of the year and you sat through the whole thing!  Good music and worship were key factors in this happening today (oh and maybe, just maybe because you were sitting next to Papa that helped a little too!)  After church we went to Gaga Papa's House for an Easter egg hunt.  You were a little shy to start - Kevin and Debs had just arrived when we went out so you needed a few seconds to warm up to them.  But once you saw the eggs you were off to the races finding them and filling your basket with them.  That Easter bunny was pretty nice to you - gold dollars, quarters, jelly beans and a couple of $1 bills were tucked into the eggs you found, but he tried to fool you with a basket of tennis balls!  Afterwards we enjoyed a wonderful brunch with Gaga, Papa, Auntie Tori, Auntie Jean, Uncle Jon, Grandma Julie, Kevin and Debs.  Uncle Jon and Auntie Jean helped you craft some bean and egg soup - it was quite delicious as you let everyone sample it.  You crashed from your jelly bean high on the ride home but I am pretty sure there were visions of hopping easter bunnies and jelly beans dancing in your head.
