Easter 2012

Easter weekend has now come and gone and we were blessed to have very good weather all weekend long which made for great family get-together's.  Saturday we had an early Easter celebration with the Militello family at Nana and Byedaddy's house where the girls played with their cousins and got to swing outside for a bit.  We would have been there on those swings all night had it not been for those pesky mosquitoes, but the girls had a great time as always.

Easter Sunday started out with morning Easter services at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church which went on a bit longer as was expected, so by the time we left mass and headed over to Ama and Apa's house the girls were tired and hungry.  Avery fell asleep right away but only napped the length of the trip which was approximately 40 minutes, not quite long enough for beauty sleep.  When we arrived she was not in the mood to be greeted or left on her own.  She would not take any photos and cried for a good twenty minutes.  Aunt Dalia came to the rescue and suggested we start out with our Easter egg hunt.  After a couple of minutes of hunting both girls got the hang of it and were very excited to fill their baskets with Easter eggs.  We got the girls some bubble guns in the shape of animals and Emily loved them.  Avery was a little frightened by the vibrating trigger.  Ama and Apa got the girls some great treats for their Easter basket and Andrea bought them some new outfits.  We all had a great time and can't wait for next Easter.  Thank you to Godfathers Sammy and Mitchell for the girls' wonderful Easter dresses.
