Easter Fun.

I know Easter is past, but I wanted to share some of these cute events.

The Easter festivities started out by the ritual of dying Easter Eggs.

The kids very much enjoyed it, although Zachy thought it was more fun to put his hands in the cups rather than the eggs... but we managed. Gracie had lots of fun with the eggs and did very well.
Next up was the visit to the Easter Bunny. On the Saturday before Easter the community center in town had the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Gracie is old enough this year so her and I went and took along cousin Rochelle and Aunt Denise. It was a good thing Rochelle came with, or I don't think Gracie would have sat on the Easter Bunny's lap... it would have been the Santa Clause adventure all over again.

She wasn't quite sure what to do with the egg hunt, but managed to pick up a few. We had a blast and look forward to next years hunt.

Easter Day... more fun.

Gracie playing with the Memory game she got as a present for her birthday.

She got a match!

Photos outside. Marty had to work on Easter so we are minus a Daddy :(

We tried to get a photo of the Malecek grandkids... but this is almost impossible with the little kids. When one is cooperating it is a sure thing that the next is screaming! Oh, well, someday they will all stand still.

Zachy and his Papa.

"Papa" is his favorite word. He says it ALL THE TIME!

What is Zachy up to?

He has figured out if he finds himself a stool, such as the booster chair, he is a little taller and then can reach the candy that is on the table! Pretty smart boy.

Throwing Rocks.

Over Easter weekend it was so BEAUTIFUL outside we took a walk down to the stream below our house with some of the cousins/Aunts/Uncles.We found some nice rocks and Gracie and Zach had a blast throwing them into the water.

Auntie Lisa, Gracie, and Cousin Bridgette.

GRACIE: 3 YEARS OLD!!!

My little girl turned 3 years old on Tuesday. We celebrated on Easter Sunday since some of the Malecek family was around. Gracie had a "Princess Cake" and Gracie absolutely loved it. Grandma Joe's birthday is just a few days before hers, so we put his name on the cake too.

Gracie so proud of her cake.

Grandma Betty sure knew what she was doing, because her gift was this medicine kit.

Gracie absolutely loves it. She sees Mommy's stethoscope and blood pressure cuff sometimes, so she knows just what to do with it.

Uncle Mick is getting a full medical exam by Miss Gracie.

Complete with ear check, blood pressure, and heart check.Miss Gracie determines Uncle Mick will probably make it for a few more years!
