Easter 2010 - Sugar Overload!

Sophia's 4th Easter has now come & gone...hard to believe her first one was spent sleeping in a little baby carrier...she was only 10days old!

Easter 2007

We continued tradition this year of attending 8am Mass with my family - but got lucky, as Lopez's attended the same Mass...our clan took up an entire row. That's just how we roll. After Mass, our little family of 3.5 headed to Nana & Papa's house to start "round 1" of eating. My mom always puts such fun touches on holidays...this year was a 3 tiered tray filled with pink Easter grass & LOTS of candy. As usual, my brother & I scrapped it out over the Cadbury's. Just so you know: Jim is a mature 32, & I am nearly 28. Some things just never change. We didn't really 'scrap it out' - however we did deliver some cutting glances towards each other as to say "don't EVEN think about getting that last Cadbury egg"!! Brunch #1 was totally delish & we all overate (as usual). Sophia happily hunted for eggs & gushed over all the goodies the Easter Bunny brought for her - despite the fact she's absolutely terrified of it!!

Easter 2008 - The terror begins!

Easter 2010 - Our Family of 3.5!

Sophia discovers candy treasures!

Just about to root thru her basket!

Last year, we tried to see if she'd sit for the bunny again - forget it. Meltdown city! This year, she completely flipped out at the Wynlakes Easter Egg hunt the day before Easter - we knew we had NO chance on Easter morning. Oh well. During brunch #2 at Wynlakes with Rod's family, she kept begging to go see the Easter bunny - she only wanted to view that bunny from INSIDE & through the GLASS DOOR!! She's her own woman for sure. We didn't push her to sit on his lap - as he is pretty freaky. Again, we all overate at brunch #2, but had great company doing it. Sophia happily bossed her poor Aunt Gabby around into getting her cupcakes, cookies & the like. I love my SIL as she's such a great sport & it affords Rod & I a bit of a break to eat meals in peace. Well, semi-peace. Eh, we'll take it! After brunch #2, we mosied on outside to the gorgeous courtyard of Wynlakes to snap some photos of Sophia - she somewhat complied. Cute enough for me!

Zzzz - The End

En route home - delirium hits!

Sophia has had enough!

Our precious baby girl!

We had LOTS of fun this Easter & can't believe that it's our last one as a family of 3! Next year our lives will have forever changed with the addition of Baby Lopez's arrival...Easter 2011, Baby Lopez will already be nearly 5mos old! Yikes....
