Easter 2009

We had Easter at our house this year. Frank's parents and Grandparents celebrated with us and my Mom, Aunt and Cousins joined us as well. My Mom had the bright idea of getting baby chicks for the kids just for the day. Of course Amelia loved them and carried them around and played with them all day. We explained to her that they were going to live on a farm after Easter and she seemed fine with that until it was time for my Mom to leave with them. She did not cry when they left but at the end of the night when she was exhausted she cried and cried because she missed her baby chicks. She got over it and now expects to have baby chicks on Easter Sunday every year. On a side note, no harm was caused to the chicks and they were given to my Mom's neighbor who has a ranch where they are living a long happy life and laying eggs for a living.

All in all it was a great Easter we played with baby chicks, had an egg hunt, cracked cascarones, and ate tons of candy. Most importantly we spent it with our loving family, we could not ask for anything more.
