Hoppin' Down The Bunny Trail

Easter in one of my very favorite holidays. I remember as a child waking up Easter morning, filled with anticipation, and finding a basket bursting with colored eggs, mouth-watering candy and chocolates, and some new little trinket. My mother always cared about the details, and she never disappointed. To this day, Easter egg hunts are always a big highlight for me, and it was a real treat to have my sister Laura and her kids in town this year to celebrate. We had a lunch and egg hunt at my parent's house on Saturday.

Here are some scenes:

On Sunday, we had dinner at the Jacobsens. Of course, Charlotte never disappoints when it comes to food (or anything else for that matter) and we had such a nice time with the family. We also celebrated Paul's and Andy's birthdays, which of course meant two different cakes. I'm just disappointed we didn't take photos of all the amazing food.

My two happy boys.

When I was a girl my mother would spend days and days making new matching Easter dresses for all 6 of her daughters. I remember feeling so special in my new dress each Easter, so I decided to do the same for Penelope this year. At the suggestion of my sweet friend Sue, I embarked on a little lace dress project idea she found here. So, when I was in NYC earlier this month, I hit a few fabric shops and came home with a big bag of lace. After some trial and error, the dress finally turned out and I was quite pleased with the finished product. Penny was the perfect finishing touch.

Grandpa Ted has this creepy Yoda mask and Leo is obsessed with it. I could barely keep it off of him long of enough to get any normal photos. Funny little Leo.

It was a great day.
