More from Easter

Paula and Emily during the egg hunt in Nanny and Bumpa's backyard. Emily made it up this hill just fine....Paula well, let's just say not so much :)


Then inside my mom hid all the kids' Easter bag. Poor Carrie, she was the very last one to find hers.


When no one was looking, Joseph found his own entertainment. He spilled two of my mom's plants and began to eat them. I really do feed my kids!!!


Then I had a really special surprise. Carrie and Paula brought over a gift Aunt Annie made for me before she died. I was quite suprised and overcome with emotion. Here I am trying to smile, but I am afraid I look more like I could use more fiber. Oh well. There is the special blanket. Thanks Aunt Annie; that is a treasure!

How AWESOME that your aunt did that for you! What a cool surprise!

Scott's grandmother did the same thing for him. I guess she always made quilts for her grandchildren when they got married, but she started getting sick before we got married. So, she made his quilt and placed a tag on it with his name. It was really neat!
