Happy Easter

There were lots of Easter festivities here in AZ...

We attended a Spring celebration with lots of games, an egg-hunt, rides, a bouncy house, treats, arts & crafts, clowns, face-painting and a petting zoo.  Grandma and I went with the kiddos while Grandpa and Daddy played in the final round of their golf tournament. It was a fun-filled morning and we even got to see the  Easter Bunny (which Carmen wasn't too fond of).  Max enjoyed being outside and watching the hussle and bustle. 

Grandma really loves Carmen--she stood in line for over an hour so our little darling could get her face painted.  She was torn between the purple butterfly and the pink cupcake.  I kept her occupied as best I could with the other festivities while Grandma waited and waited with Maxy in line.  Finally, it was Carmen's turn!  Well, I guess we should have predicted the outcome--she didn't want to sit in the chair or even on Grandma's lap to have her face painted, she fussed, she cried and we promptly left.  I should have seen that coming; I'll know better next time. Besides the face-painting drama, it was a successful event and Carmen and Maxy were full of smiles. 


Starting the day with a sweet treat.
Posing with the Easter Bunny--only a little protesting.

Egg Hunter's...

Ready...Set...Go

A bunny masterpiece.

A kid, up-close.

Cuddly and fluffy, just the way a bunny should be.

The Easter bunny came today too.  Apparently in Arizona the bunny is very generous and fills eggs with green paper!  Carmen was in heaven hunting eggs and getting prizes while Max slept. It's been a great day filled with fun, sun, family and reflection about the important things in life.  Happy Easter!
