Happy Easter

Easter Sunday was perfect. Sunny, warm and full of family fun. We started the day with an Easter egg hunt in our hotel room. We told Arabella that no matter where you are sleeping the Easter Bunny will find you. And he did find Arabella and Daddy. He (a/k/a mom) brought them both over-flowing baskets and there were a ton on eggs hidden all around the room. I was amazed at how quickly she found the first egg. When she saw it, she was not too sure what she should do, but she quickly caught on. She was so happy that the Easter Bunny knew that she liked goldfish since that was what he put in the majority of the Easter eggs. There was also a little bit of candy and some small toys. She had so much fun. I just love to see her so happy and excited, it just melts my heart. I am so thankful that I am able to do all the fun things with her that my parents did for my brother and I.











Jay was also spoiled by the Easter Bunny and in his usual fashion gorged himself on peanut butter eggs and Canadian Easter candy and was very quickly in a sugar coma.

It was interesting to see the difference in the Easter candy that I purchased in Canada vs. the Easter Candy that I am used to from the US. I purchased in Canada, a hollow chocolate sunflower for Arabella, the detailing was beautiful, almost to beautiful to eat.







And some of the Canadian candy had a warning on it that it was "Not For Sale In The United States" - I thought this was interesting and then my legal background kicked in. The candy had small toys in it and I am sure there would be lawsuits if some kid in the US ate the candy and got hurt on the toy inside. Now why wouldn't the parents take some responsibility instead of blaming someone else. And when did they start putting warning labels on Play Doh due to ingredients?? I digress, back to Easter.









We then went to Aunt Margo and Uncle Bill's to spend Easter afternoon with them, Grampy and Aunt Moona, Aunt Rose and Cliff. We had such a good time and it was nice to be able to spend such a special day with everyone. Arabella was spoiled by the Easter Bunny at Aunt Margo's as well. She received baskets from Aunt Margo and Uncle Bill and Grampy and Heather and Auntie Lori. Such a lucky little girl! Aunt Moona, Aunt Rose and Cliff gave her a very special present. She received a set of three ceramic bunnies that were made by my by great Aunt Gert. They are beautiful and will be treasured.














We hope that everyone had a beautiful and blessed Easter!!
