Easter weekend

I am a few days late getting these up.  I am not a fan of this week, thank goodness it is now half over.

Good Friday was a big birthday day.  Uncle Taylor turned 25 and we celebrated Vilma's birthday with her.  Hannah wore her (slightly too large) cupcake dress to celebrate the event.

With all of the excitement (and lack of facebook) I forgot my dear friend Beka's birthday.  This is my public apology, hope you had a great one!  I included a really old pic, from our previous life.

Moving on to the rest of the weekend, my parents got in on Saturday morning.  We had lunch at El Real (liked it, will go back) then hung out at the house with Miss Hannah.  She took a dip in her pool Saturday afternoon.



Saturday night Grandjackie and Granddaddy babysat while Tanner and I saw Max Stalling at the Mucky Duck.  It was a great show and we had a great time.  We have become pretty big fans of the Mucky Duck over the last month or so.  It is such a fun small show venue.

Sunday morning we went to church and then came hope to prepare lunch.  I totally intended to take pictures of the food, and then totally forgot in the midst of trying to get everything ready and served, but the meal was a success.  We made beef tenderloin, asparagus, mushrooms and onions, rolls, a salad and an ahi tuna/avocado appetizer.  Betty and Raymond brought deviled eggs, stuffed peppers, potatoes, a coconut pie and a chocolate pie and my mom made two strawberry pies.  We celebrated Easter, Tanner and Taylor's birthday and Julie and Taylor's engagement.

Hannah did not hunt for eggs this year, but she did love finding toys and eggs in her baskets.  Of course, we took lots of pictures all day long.

Monday Grandjackie and Grandaddy took Hannah to the doctor, and she does in fact have an ear infection now.  She started on antibiotics (which she loves, given her choice she would eat only amoxicillin and cheerios).  We can tell she is feeling much better.  She slept for nine hours last night, which she has not done for the last few weeks. 

Every day she is more into everything.  Last night Tanner and I took turns taking bites of dinner while the other moved Hannah away from the cords, or the receiver, or the remote control, or the mail, or the cell phone, or the baskets under the coffee table, or the wine rack, or the trash can, etc (you probably get the point by now).  I used to see babyproofing trucks in the neighborhood, but have not seen one in a while, so don't know how to get in touch with the people I could pay a small fortune to do what I am too lazy busy to do myself.  I think that is what I want for Mother's Day or my birthday.  Exciting, huh?
