Easter Fun

I hope everyone had a happy Easter. We had a wonderful Easter! We took Michelle to San Antonio to spend the holiday with her grandparents and cousins. It was a short trip but we all had a wonderful time. We went to a barbecue at Roman's mom's house Saturday evening and Michelle had a great time running around and playing with her cousins. They had an Easter egg hunt, a pinata and cascarones. Michelle loved the cascarones. It was a lot of fun cracking eggs over people's heads and watching confetti come out.

Sunday we went to church with my parents and then to brunch at a beautiful restaurant on the banks of a river. It was really nice. Afterward, we went back to Nana's house for another Easter egg hunt and more cascarones. Michelle had such a good time. She ended up getting 5 Easter baskets filled with lots of toys and more candy than any of us could eat in a year. We left most of it behind but she definitely got a taste for candy. She's been asking for it ever since.

She was worn out by the end of the trip. Monday evening she fell asleep in the taxi on the way home and slept all the way through the night until Tuesday morning. We're so happy we were able to give her such a special weekend.
It's so much fun playing in Nana's backyard.

I love tea parties at Nana's house.
Look at my pretty Easter basket (one of five baskets!).
Cascarones are fun. I'm even getting myself.
