Char in the Car

Charlotte LOVES this song. I had Sammi film her as we were driving to show her reaction. You'll see smiling, dancing and if you listen close, some singing. She's so funny!

Char - Bar

I love this girl....

So...SO good.

This year, I didn't get ANY Cadbury Eggs for Easter. I was a little saddened, as you can only get them during Easter-time. Matt remembered later that day on Sunday and felt like he had failed. I assured him magnanimously :) that it was alright. Who needs the calories anyway, right? The next day I stopped in at Albertsons only to discover that they had TWO whole boxes of Cadbury eggs left....AND they were discounted to 20 cents! (this is big, people. Normally, these delectable creations are at least 80cents a pop and are sold out by Easter.) I was so excited, but kept my cravings in control and bought six. So excited. I called Matt when I got home to inform him of my discovery and how everything turned out swimmingly. He was happy for me, and that was that. Or so I thought. You would think I knew my husband after all these years. At 5pm, Matt came home from work, lugging 50 Cadbury Eggs in a grocery sack for me. 50!! Five-Zero! (He said he planned on buying 100, but after 50 started to get looks and to feel a bit weird. Thank heavens!!!!) I stood there stunned as he lovingly said "Now you'll have some for awhile!" Folks, they were gone in a week. Yes, I DID share, but seriously, most of the damage was done by me. They are so SO good.*sigh*

Easter

The "Grandmas" on Matt's side of the family put together an Easter Breakfast and Egg-Hunt for all the grandchildren and great-grandkids. We did the Bunny hop, had DELICIOUS food, a marvelous egg hunt and had a special visitor. Thank you Grandmas! I don't know why/how my face is doing that, but it's the bunny hop!
Good food...
Charlotte and White Grandma The kiddos
Eli, sporting his sister's coat, LOVED the easter egg hunt
This is my favorite picture - Charlotte looks like she's ready to throw-down that bunny if it comes any closer. (It is a little creepy....look at it's eyes...)
The kids and the Easter "Bunny"
Good times.

We're A-Back!

Yup - 'twas time for another "Party for the Grandkids". This time, the theme was Mario Bros. (many of the young grandkids are great fans). It was supersonic. Or something to that effect...
