Happy Easter!

I just can't seem to get blog posts up timely these days.  I blame work - having a job is really starting to get in the way of my personal life!

We had a great Easter.  It was Christina's first.  I think Dominic kind of remembered last year. I'll let the pictures (and my not-so-witty captions) tell the story.

It starts a few days before Easter.  Steffi had the brilliant idea to get some pics of this cute baby in her Easter basket:

And here is one of Dominic on Holy Thursday. He was supposed to wear Easter attire to school.  His face looks weird here.

 Finally, Easter morning:

Canon designed my camera so that the flash is exactly where Marcos wants his hand to be.  Silly Canon.

Christina got a xylophone. Both kids like it.

In addition to a truck, whoopee cushion, chocolate bunny and sandals, Dominic got peeps!

Dominic helped Christie look through her basket.  She got a doll and a froggy washcloth/glove.

See a cute little grubby hand offering me a peep?  I didn't even ask.  What a great guy.

Eating our peeps.

She likes her doll.

We had some friends and family come over in the afternoon.  To be specific: Steffi, Austin, Erin, the Weiss', and Sean.   Marcos made sliders (as in mini hamburgers) and ham.  After Dominic's nap, we discovered that the Easter bunny left some eggs scattered around the backyard.  Good thing we had a boy who was willing to go collect them.

New sandals came in handy.

M&Ms!!

Thank you Steffi for taking some cute family pics!

Dominic got one of Tia Weiss' cupcakes after dinner.  It had a peep on grass (green coconut) with some eggs (Reese's pieces). So cute!

Christina had two poor naps earlier in the day.  Thanks goodness for the swing for that last afternoon nap!

I had difficulty selecting which pink dress she should wear for Easter, but she dutifully soiled the first half way through the day and got to wear both.

Hope all my readers had a great Easter too!  Coming next: bluebonnets!
