Giana and I both had been sick with a stomach virus just before Easter this year. She had it first and then I came down with it. It was no fun and we were down for the count for a good week and a half. All of the fun Easter activities I had planned were then crammed into three days. Giana didn't seem to mind but there was a lot to do AND we were hosting Easter at our place so I felt like I was scrambling at the last minute to pull everything together. Not a good feeling for this organized, OCD planner. In the end, we had fun coloring eggs, making our second annual PURPLE bunny cake, attending an egg hunt and making crafts for grandma and mom-mom. We stopped by the mall to make a visit to Easter Bunny and Giana was fairly brave. She wouldn't talk to him but she did sit next to him for a picture. Priceless. She made me tell him that she would like a kite with her Easter basket. The night before Easter, she informed us that she asked EB for a purple toothbrush and yo-yo along with some candy. Thanks for the short notice, Giana. But he came through and he hid her basket in her bedroom behind her easel. She's been watching the weather for a good day to fly her kite and has been begging Dominic to take her to the park to test it out. The windy days so far have been too cold but I think we'll be able to get it out soon. Easter day was nice with church (I love Easter mass) and family. My mom and Dominic's family were in town. The weather was beautiful. We took some pictures out by the pool but Giana wasn't cooperating so most didn't turn out. Hoping you all had a blessed and wonderful Easter. He is Risen!
Just something we find funny to point out...the day of the Easter egg hunt, Giana decided she wanted to use her ghost halloween basket to collect the eggs and Easter morning she wanted to wear her favorite Christmas nightgown. I think we covered all of the holidays. :)
