It was a beautiful day from beginning to end.  Today, Sarah and I started the day by meeting Nana, Poppie and Aunt Arlette at Church.  We lasted about 20 minutes before Sarah started asking if it was time to go home!  I broke out all the tricks in order to get her to settle down; crayons, easter eggs, lollipops, crackers, juice and M & M’s.  Nothing worked.  The question of when we were leaving was increasing in volume until an all out temper tantrum broke out and I had no choice but to take her home.  We made a quick exit out the side door, ran in the cold wind to the car and settled in with a lollipop and a Barney video for the 2 and 1/2 minute car ride home:)

Both Sarah and Olivia went in for morning naps before going to Nana’s for our Easter celebration. 

When we pulled up to Nana’s house, we were greeted with an easter egg hunt on the lawn.  So much fun!  Poppie told the kids that one of the eggs had a twenty dollar bill in it, so a frantic “search and open” technique began with the bigger kids.  Nana cleared up the false $20.00 rumor and everyone resumed just looking for candy!

After the egg hunt was over and we were all sufficiently frozen, we went inside to begin the feasting.  Appetizers, then prime rib, keilbasa (fresh and smoked) and lots of trimmings were had by all.  Chicken nuggets and mac and cheese for all the little people.  I always said that my kids wouldn’t eat chicken nuggets and macaroni & cheese for every meal.  They would sit and eat what everyone else was eating.  Wrong again!  
It truly was a wonderful Easter celebration.  With 7 grandchildren, 5 of which are under the age of 3, our parties are loud, crazy and incredibly fun!  Thanks to Nana and Poppy for hosting!
