I did not intend to take this long of a break from blogging. A little fever bug took over and I've been out for the count for a few days. I am slowly finding myself vertical, rather than horizontal. I thought I'd add some photos of our weekend fun while I am in this position.
We started the weekend with our 8th Annual street Easter Egg Hunt. It has been fun to see the children literally grow up in pictures year after year. We meet at the big rock monument at the front of our street - we receive the rules for how many eggs per child can be hunted by our sweet Egg Hunt Director, and then the kids are off searching in the designated front yards while the parents chase after for photos. Once the eggs have been gathered, the kids sit together to go through their candy and trade and talk - while the parents stand around getting caught up on a winter's worth of info. This year we were blessed with a clear, blue sky and temps that hit 70 degrees. It was a beautiful, relaxing day. (click on photos to enlarge).

On Easter Sunday we were happy to join my husband's family at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The five cousins enjoyed gathering eggs - never too old to enjoy a good scavenger hunt as a family. My kiddos dipped strawberry's in chocolate for Grandma. And their sweet dog, Gracie, was all part of the action under our feet being as cute as ever. We ended the evening watching some home family videos on the good ol'super eight projector. The cousins enjoyed seeing their Uncle and their mom, and their Aunt and their dad, as little tykes. They were so adorably cute and super blond - like in toe-head blond. It was a relaxing Easter.

Hope you're feeling better. Gracie is adorable.
I forgot to say in my earlier comment that you had the greatest neighborhood. Wish mine were like that. Also really wish that my daughter and her family lived in a similar neighborhood back here in the US and not in a Moscow high rise.
