Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful neighborhood celebration for Easter. Both Bryce and Amelia were so excited to participate in the games, crafts and egg hunt. They are both getting old enough that they actually have a sense of what to expect on each holiday and even some memories from years past.

They are both candy crazed at the moment. It is alarming what a little sugar will do to children. Everyday they ask and ask, but we are taking a break after a weekend on the binge:) I am still trying to make sense of why we bombard children with so many sweets on Halloween and Easter when we don't actually want them to have it...hmmm... Perhaps next year we will adopt a new way.


Another highlight of our Easter weekend was picking up Amelia's new dollhouse. This beauty was built by a local man who has his own shop. He is in a wheelchair and employs others with varying disabilities. Dollhouses are their specialty, but they also make so many other great things. We put in the order for this "medium sized" dollhouse and picked it up a week later. It is hard to imagine what large would have looked like. It is absolutely beautiful. Both Amelia and Bryce love to play with it. Don't you just love the trim? And yes, it is just as much for me as it is for the kids!
