The Big, Bad Bunny Blog.

Well, it's been a LONG time since I really updated this blog! I'm going to let the pictures do the talking! It all started weekend before last with Easter gifts from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Tammy! A cute little frog and some candy showed up to kick our Easter season into high gear. Lucy was so excited!


About two hours after that, Aunt Nina and Cousin Lilly showed up! Yay! Silly Lilly was in rare form as usual.

We took the babies to the mall to see the Easter Bunny...


And her turned out to be horror-movie scary. Both girls were very brave!




Lucy ate sweet potato fries, but that has nothing to do with Easter.

She also killed a little time on the computer, since the weather has been so cold.

She ALSO went to her first roller skating party! Here is the shirt Mama made for the occasion.

On Saturday morning, Cousin Josiah, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Michael and Grandpa rolled into town for the weekend! Here are Lucy and Josiah reading a book with Grandpa. This is the 3rd rendition of the story, so you can imagine how Grandpa was feeling...


We kicked off Easter morning in our pretty clothes- Daddy even did Lucy's hair for the day! Well, the first 10 minutes of the day...


Lucy's Easter goodies- the ones on the left were from the Grandparents Merkel, and the right was from the Easter Bunny.

Lucy inspecting her goodies from Grandpa and Grandma Merkel- a swimsuit in the bottom of the basket means summer is almost here!

Lucy and Josiah inspecting their baskets.

Lucy's Easter Card...

And chocolate bunny...

...And new movie!

And of course, no Easter would be complete without Peeps.

Lucy's first bite of chocolate.

The family on Easter Morning

After church we went to Kristy and Eric's to see Xander and have an easter egg hunt!









Lucy was pooped from the egg hunt but had no problem putting Josiah in his place when he DARED to try to play with her toy.

Holding Josiah back.

Shouldering him out to max out on toy time. Lucy only plays with two year old boys, so she's gotten used to being a little pushy with her toys. We're working on being nicer, but it's hard to teach an 11 month old to share! She's really not afraid to push the big boys over and take what she wants, which is quickly becoming a bit of an issue.

We all went back to the house for Easter Dinner, and Father Ed and Suz came over too! Here is Suz playing Guitar Hero like a pro.

Lucy and Josiah. These two are really something. In almost every picture I have of the two of them, they're doing the exact same thing. I've never seen two toddlers so in tune with each other. The Lucy/Josiah love runs deep!

Lucy and Xander banging on the fridge and screaming. Very fun.

Lucy wakes up on Monday morning to find that everyone has gone home and left her with empty Peep cartons and no one to play with.

Getting ready for a day of househunting!

oh my goodness, those were adorable easter photos! I feel like such a bad mommy now, I didn't even put Alison in the easter dress that I had bought for her! We had family visit (they don't have kids) and so I just kept her in normal clothes so she could play.
Oh well! There's always next year for us! p.s I Love Lucy's dress! so cute!!

Wow! What a wonderful Easter Lucy!

Glad you liked your froggy too. Wish we could have been there with you.

The pictures of Lilly and Lucy are so beautiful...both girls are just adorable!

What fun their ages are right now too. It seems like only yesterday Meg and Maddie were their age.

Lucy will be a year old a day after Meg's 11th birthday...time goes by so quickly.

We love and miss you guys...alot!!!

We are hoping to see Abby and Auntie Linnie and Uncle Doug on Spring Break. We start on Friday (since it is snow makeup day but we just had snow today!...can you believe it!!! Snow at the end of March. Crazy).

Lotsa Love and Hugs,
Grandma Tammy and Grandpa Jim
Auntie Meg and Auntie Maddie

This a wonderful blog entry. The pictures tell the story of Lucy and Lilly's first Easter. They are going to be so darned cute growing up together. We hope they never live very far apart from one another!
Thanks for working so hard on the blog. All of the Left Coasters appreciate it very, very much.
Love you lots and a big GOD BLESS!
Grandma Susie and Grandpa Dick - The GREAT Grandparents!!
