More Easter Photos.

 

Easter Blessings.

The Easter Bunny left surprises for the girls when they awoke this moring. They each got an outfit, a movie on DVD ("Bolt" for McKenzie and "Pinocchio" for Callie), some books and Easter wouldn't be complete without a chocolate bunny. The Easter Bunny also left a yard full of eggs to be collected. Went to Lithia Park for another egg hunt in the afternoon and McKenzie was pretty dissapointed when she learned there was no hunt for her age group. Dad cheered her up when he told her he'd do another egg hunt for her when we got home. We had lunch at our favorite chinese restaurant, The Golden Dynasty in Ashland then a quick stop to the grocery store to buy some hershey kisses to stuff some plastic eggs. The day wrapped up with a third egg hunt in our yard. They are watching their movies right now and I have two very happy girls.

The Vintage Horse.

Matt's mom new I was going into Costco today, so she asked me to pick her up some very yummy mango salsa.  After I dropped it off, there was this new vintage shop that just opened in Talent.  Callie and I went inside and this became her new best friend.  I would have got it for her as an Easter gift, but it had a not-so-lovely price tag of $70.  Sorry Callie but these photos will just have to do for now. 

Egg Coloring.

Colored eggs yesterday.  McKenzie was so excited to do this project minus her sister, who was at the great-grandparents house.  I love the way they all turned out.  She did a fantastic job and I had the opportunitiy to color and egg. So much fun.  Did you notice that one egg is missing?   Well, a small accident happened when I was putting the eggs in water to be boiled.  One slipped out of my hand and it fell between my legs and I tried to catch it with my knees.  In the process, the egg cracked and I had yolk running down my legs.  Yuck! 

Take Time to Smell the Flowers.

The weather was pretty nice today with the exception of an overcast.  I think it is supposed to shower tonight and possibly tomorrow, so I wanted to take some pictures of McKenzie.  I decided the perfect location was at Garfield Park where there are some oh so lovely plumb trees that would make a perfect background for some shots.

Brother and Sister.

Here's the living proof that I actually do get to see and converse with my brother from time-to-time.  Even if it's only when he's on his delivery route in Ashland and I get a chance to catch up with his truck.  I was just coming out of the Ashland Information Center (I was checking on times of our local Easter Egg Hunt this Sunday at Lithia Park) and there he was... this very handsom guy coming out of his work truck.  I am so very happy that I keep my camera in my car because you never know what moments need to be captured.  I am so very grateful for the total stranger who passed by when I asked "will you please take a picture of us?  I need to give our parents proof that my brother and I really do get to see each other."  I love you Dan <3
