Easter 2013

Warning: This post is picture-heavy!!

Our Easter celebration began on Holy Saturday with an egg hunt at Grandma and Pada's house!
Grandma Bunny hides her eggs in a super-organized fashion with equal numbers of name-imprinted eggs for each child.  Only one remains hidden, sure to become dog or raccoon food...
Mr. Peaches supervised from the roof.
Baby's eggs were 'hidden' in the family room.  What was inside?  Cheerios!!  His own bucketful!  Heaven...
Grandma always has a pretty table of thoughtfully-arranged appetizers at every occasion.

The Grandma and Pada Bunny also brought Baby a piano.  What a hit!
Sunday morning, we got up early and trekked to Columbus, OH, for a day with some of our very favorite people. 
Attempts at a family picture after Mass...


Is there anything sweeter than little girls in their Easter best?  The one in pink is one of my Godchildren.
 
Monday, we travelled on to another former hometown: Pittsburgh!!  We love this city in no small part because of the dear friends who still live there.  And the great food.  But friends first, of course!!

We visited the National Aviary.






 On display are 2 rescued Bald Eagles.

Neither rescued nor bald are my buddy Amy and I.  Here are attempts at a group shot of our 8 squirmy children...



We also visited Phipps conservatory - such a beautiful place!!


Since we were there last, they've added a new display on India!  Gorgeous!




Two more of my dear friends and I.






Now we're back home getting ready to clean out our garage in preparation for a First Communion party in a few weeks.  But first, a dip in the pool!  (air temp. = 40 degrees, water = 100 degrees)


 
A Blessed Easter Season to all!!  We are so grateful to our friends and family for their generous hospitality and faithfulness over the years!
