Easter Joys

We had a lovely Easter, even though I wasn't even close to ready for it. My washer and dryer were both indisposed for a couple weeks (ok, maybe only a week and a half, but it felt like a year). The problem was, that when I finally got everything washed between my Mom's generosity and my neighbor Monica's, I was knee-deep in laundry to be folded and put away, and then Nathan got an ear infection. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the phenomenon, it forces Mommy to pace the floor for hours with a miserable baby. So, when Easter got here, there were clothes, dishes, toys and school supplies EVERYWHERE. The Easter Bunny was still able to make it in the door, and the girls were thrilled to find all the goodies he left them. Why is the Easter Bunny male anyway? Doesn't he/she lay eggs? That's one funny bunny.
We had 3, yes, count them, 3!! Easter egg hunts! One was on Sat. at the Civic Club -

One was at Nonna and Poppa's after Church on Sun. -

And one at Grandma and Grandpa's late Sun. afternoon. -

We had a fancy lunch at Nonna's and fun visiting with everybody -
Stephy has 2 weeks to go. She had a nice little table to lay Nathan on.
...and a fun dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's with cousins galore.
And here are my sweet girls, cuddling by the fire one cold rainy morning last week. You can see some of the laundry behind them :)
