Easter

We colored eggs a couple of days BEFORE Easter this year, it's usually the evening before, so we were ahead of the game this year!!

Easter dawned to a BEAUTIFUL morning-still too cold and a bit too damp that early in the morning, so our Easter Bunny hid the eggs inside the house, again! Good thing our dog sleeps in a kennel, with the door locked, otherwise, I am sure she would have helped herself the all the eggs, candy & little goodies in the kids' baskets!



After all the fun of collecting all of the eggs, comparing what each of the kids got, we took Grandma N out for Brunch! Then back to the manor for their Egg Hunt!








Such a BEAUTIFUL Easter Day. We spent part of the day at the Park, playing on the playground, throwing the Fisbees, lounging on the blanket and soaking up the sunshine and the wonderful 70 Degree weather, without a bit of wind.

Then just 2 days later 6 Inches of SNOW, that stuck around for 5 day! (pictures of our friends' back yard-- Easter Sunday........Tuesday afternoon!) This was just INSANE!!

New Year's Eve Paartay!

We got together with a few other couples, you know, the friends we ALWAY hang out with! After setting the kids up with movies and Disney Channel New Year's Party, we headed out for dinner, then games and celebrating!

The big 'game' of the evening was a Photo Scavenger Hunt-most of the items required a picture as proof that you had found it!
The List (just to name a few):
shake hands with a policeman, a bouquet of flowers, a purple house, a dog (not your own), a stranger texting, a stranger listening to an ipod, an atm, the steps of the courthouse, and NFL sweatshirt/cap/t-shirt, a yellow traffic light, a message given to a team member from a nurse, etc...
We played WIVES



versus HUSBANDS

New Year's Eve Party cont...

Here we are, back at the office comparing photos and lists!

Scavenger hunt is over-we won't mention

who won-let's just say we called it a tie! No more running around,

we're just kicking back, snacking and waiting for midnight!

Next up while we wait--can you guess?! ----- CARDS!!

As midnight arrived, Robert broke out the Hard Stuff--Sparkling Cider!

** ** ** ** ** Happy New Year!!! ** ** ** ** **

We started winding down before midnight, once midnight came and went, boy, so did we!...

We must be getting old if making it to midnight on New Year's Eve is difficult! We were headed home by 12:15!!
