Happy Easter Time!

Rather than saying "Happy Easter" Athena chose to yell "Happy Easter Time!!!" to everyone today. We spent a lovely day with Yiayia and Popop and had a delicious traditional Easter dinner of ham, asparagus and mashed potatoes. Zoe attached herself to Popop and led him around by two fingers for most of the day.

Yiayia spoiled the girls with baskets of presents and waaaaay too much chocolate and jelly beans. Zoe devoured at least two "Chockleeeee!" eggs and a couple of Hershey's minis and then ran in circles omitting a high pitched squeal. She is so my child.

Here's some photos from our day!

It was a nice warm day, both inside and outside of Yiayia's house, but the biggest news of the day is that we have had a dramatic change of plans. Instead of heading back to our beloved Kentucky, Chris has accepted a job offer that will move us to Bakersfield, California! More on that later!

Darling Easter photos. There's nothing like a good chocolate egg sugar high!

But what's with you guys having lovely weather and us being stuck indoors down here in AR? I'm jealous! :)

Looks like Easter was a hit. The boys could care less about the candy-though the Easter Bunny did leave Pop Rocks and Camden LOVES them
