Easter 2010

My text explaining this year's Easter is at the end of the post. Sorry, but blogger wouldn't let me move it.
Maddy enjoyed riding on the luggage cart in the hotel.
She was not however a big fan of the swimming pool. The water was pretty chilly, so we think that may have been the culprit. She did like lounging on the big deck chairs.
On Friday, we hit the outlet mall in Aurora. It was a nice one and very crowded. Both Maddy and Emma made a pretty good haul. Madelynn needed a break from all the shopping and went for a ride on one of the toys in the play area.


Here she is snuggling with her bunny from Uncle Dale.
She was asleep before we left the subdivision.


The Easter Bunny visited us on Easter morning.
He didn't hide any eggs this year, but he did leave Maddy Mae a basket full of goodies.


Maddy has enjoyed playing with bucket full of eggs at Maw Maw and PawPaw's house for the past month.


Our Easter this year was a busy one. On Thursday, we headed north to Oswego, Illinois. Kevin's brother, Dale, recently purchased a new townhome and wanted to host the family for a holiday. So we spent Thursday, Friday, and a few hours of Saturday morning visiting with Kevin's family. Then we made the long drive back to southern Illinois. Maddy was a trouper both on the way up and on the way home. She slept for all but one hour of the drive each way, and with a little bit of entertainment from Mommy and snacks of course she was a happy camper for the hour she was awake. It is a good thing that my belly isn't too big to prevent me from jumping from the front to the back sit while riding down the interstate. Then on Easter Sunday, we had a quick breakfast and visit from the Easter Bunny at our house before heading to church. Taking a thirteen month old to church is quite an adventure. I believe that Kevin saw a whopping ten minutes of the service before Maddy was too loud to stay in the pew. After that we went to MawMaw and PawPaw's house and hung out until it was time to go to my aunt's house for the Boda's Easter gathering. It was a great weekend
