Happy Easter!

 This Easter we had Normily and David & Susan (...Dasun? Days inn?) stay with us for the weekend and it went by way too fast.We did have a lot of fun though! I tried to use the real camera more:

Love Sushi...abstaining from meat on Good Friday, also our 13th wedding anniversary!

 Eustace being Eustace...trying on a mumu,

Playing in the game room.,I was reading ancestry info in my Easter bunny pajamas.

 The kids taught Emily & David how to play Ticket to Ride :)

 Emily's first time dying Easter eggs !

 John cooked everything for us...a roast, a ham, manicotti, green beans, Norman made mashed potatoes, mom brought lasagna, it was all really good!

 Choochy has an attitude already...

 David was teaching Eusty some new moves

 Emily had to endure the kids mixing all the dyes and redunking lol. I could tell she has a little ADD/OCD tendencies with organization!

 Then it was time to have an egg hunt in the back--they all really enjoyed that!

 Poor Lucas is always so obedient--he was upset because he didn't have many eggs as we had asked him initially to leave the easy ones for the babies. We let him go all out the next round :)

 Frankie (and Susan) got sleepy, but we played some fun rounds of Pictionary!

 Lucas was the best artist

 A group effort of a flamingo :) 

 A good start in the AM..heading to mass

 Lucas by his own choice, gave up all video games for Lent. He was a trooper! So he was very excited to see the new Zelda in his basket :)

 Olivia chose to give up recreational reading (she loves to read). She had to read for school, and could otherwise only read books about saints, Jesus or the Bible. So she got "Ella Enchanted". I love that she is so into reading now...I am very proud as she would be only completing 1st grade in public school, but she is almost starting 3rd grade and loves to read chapter books. Oh and she loves sock monkeys :)

 This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!

My mom wasn't able to join us on Easter sunday, and she is getting over a bad cold, so here's a recent and pretty picture of her:
