Happy Easter 2012! And a treat for us...

First the treat for us; Iceberg has opened a restaurant just 3 blocks from our home! We could walk there, get their ginormous, mini shakes and walk home and still gain 5 lbs! This is a good / bad thing. We love their shakes. We introduced ourselves and told the staff to remember us because we would be there often. I don't think they knew how truly serious we really were!

And now it's Easter!

I have to be honest; I'm not a real Easter fan. No, let me back up. I love the true meaning of Easter. I know that Christ suffered great and terrible pains - for me and because of me - before dying on the cross and then being resurrected which allows us to be redeemed for our sins and gives us the opportunity, if we live righteously, to be with Him and our loved ones again for all eternity! But where did this weird bunny come from? Not a fan.

If it wasn't for TJ we wouldn't have even boiled eggs this year let alone color them. Thank goodness for my little girl who in some ways (holidays!) will never grow up. And she is a true artist... nothing plain and ordinary for this young lady...

I'm not much into angry birds, but even I know these are fantastic! She did a pig, too but I guess I didn't get a close up pic of it. She struggled as to what else she should make, so I asked for a favor...

..my first choice was Elmo, but "his face shape is all wrong." Ha! Well, then Bert. His face shape is right. And low and behold, I get a Bert egg. We laughed at each other because I was willing and not questioning as I colored a white pom pom with a magic marker to make his hair, and she was willing to make her mother an egg decorated as a Sesame Street character. We truly are a weird family!!!
