Easter 2012

Another busy 4 day weekend over Easter for us this year.  Rowan had to spend last Sunday-Thursday at Joe and Diane's because her school closed for the whole week.  We got her back on Thursday night though.  While she was away Lily and I went to family yoga by ourselves and I snapped this great picture of her strutting into yoga with her mat.

Jazz got one final play in with Fez before he and the Gages went down the shore for the weekend.  They play so well together even with such a huge size difference between them!

Friday the real work began before we could enjoy our weekend.  We had 3 yards of mulch delivered the day before and Friday was the day we laid it all out and redid the front garden.  In the middle of mulching I decided we needed some river rock as well to line the garden with so we called and had 2 yards of stone delivered that afternoon as well.  It was a long day outside for all of us but the work is now done for the season, aside from a few new plants after Mother's day and of course the endless weeding - we are done!  And we had so much left over we were able to give it to some neighbours so they could do their mulching as well!

Saturday after gymnastics and t-ball practice the girls wanted to go to the mall to visit with the Easter Bunny.  Lily was so excited and I was afraid she was going to clam up at the last minute but she surprised us and marched right up to him and got her picture taken.

And early dinner that afternoon and home to finally dye some Easter eggs!

Easter Sunday the girls were jonesing to wake up and find their eggs and presents.  The Bunny did not disappoint.

That afternoon we got our Easter finest on and headed to Sharon's for the annual family gathering and egg hunt.  The girls had a great time as usual and the egg hunt was a great success.

Next up - we are going to the Phillies game tonight - it will be Lily's first trip to the ballpark!  We planned it right though, it is also $1 hotdog night so if she hates sitting there she can at least be eating :)
