Happy Easter

We have had a lovely long Easter weekend.
Thursday night I & G came over while L visited P in the hospital (he had a pin put into his ankle). Mommy went to a hockey game!
Friday was quiet with just a little shopping at Staples, the pet store and Toys R Us.
Saturday we went to visit E & S & their 2 boys A & M in Beaumont. Draya & A coloured Easter eggs and we had a very nice lunch. That night Draya had dinner at G'ma & G'pa's while Mommy & Daddy went to see a movie.
Sunday morning Draya was excited to find that the Easter bunny had visited. He left little chocolate eggs around the living room for her to find, a Toopy and Bino puzzle, a stuffed bunny and some other sweet treats. Sunday afternoon Mommy & Draya visited Nana and Papa and then the whole family went back to G'ma & G'pa's for Easter dinner.
Monday has been quiet, filled with a mix of relaxing and housework. Draya & Daddy watched Enchanted (for her 3rd time this weekend) and went to the park.
Tomorrow it's back to daycare & work.

Easter Weekend Update

As the Easter weekend draws to a close our whole family is ready to go back to work and daycare. Daddy is starting a new temp job and Mommy and Draya will be back in Spruce Grove after an almost 2 week hiatus. Some relaxed moments have been enjoyed, some partying has been done and a few productive things have been accomplished. Maybe not everything we had planned to do... but some.
On Friday night Draya & Mommy visited Nana. Nana gave Draya a wonderful velcro vegetable set(like this - without the fruit) that she has been playing with/scattering all over the house all weekend. It's great!
Saturday we celebrated J's 2nd BD and visited with H & T and our other friends who were party guests. Much fun was had by all - especially the children who had loads of cool toys to play with!
Easter Sunday dawned and Draya enjoyed a few chocolate eggs and some of her favourite Pocky. The Easter bunny also brought a wonderful (rather messy) bubble wand/toy, Shrek & Shrek 2. Since it was a special day we watched both movies, the first in the morning and the second that night. Draya absolutely loves the Shrek 3 trailer on line and she actually sat and watched each movie most of the way through. She only lost interest for a while during the second one when Shrek turned into a man... she's an ogre fan.
During the afternoon on Sunday we went to Grandma & Grandpa's for a nice Easter lunch and visit. Draya received a belated birthday gift from her Uncle Dave - a Duplo Thomas the Train - Percy at the Water Tower that is really neat and some Easter stickers, markers and paints from Grandma that were also a big hit.
Today we all went shopping. Draya was mostly well behaved but Mommy & Daddy were still exhausted after the excursion. One of the things we purchased was the main Thomas the Train set to go with her Percy. It is so cute and we're going to have fun playing with it too :)
I'll have photos to post as soon as I download the camera. Happy (belated) Easter everyone!
