...it's over.... we're home again..

Which isn't so bad - love from the pups, our own bed..good-night sweetie, sweet dreams..God bless us everyone..

AND we had a FANTASTIC time!

Ice skating, lunch at the mall. "smile! click.."

Got WAXED!!! "don't move! click.."

(My upper lip & chin - never had that done before - check that one off my 'bucket list'...)

Dinner at White Fence Farms..."click, click"

Surprise Brian! Cake and balloons and sparklers! The whole restaurant singing "Happy 21st. Birthday to Brian..." I have totally embarrassed him - my work here is done... "smile everyone - click, click, click..."

Heart shaped fritter (how lucky is that??) coloring eggs, waiting for the Easter bunny... "click, click'

Finding hidden eggs..the men doing "construction" on the staircase..April cooking Easter dinner...fixed Emily's hair ("Farrah Faucet-80's-style??) Alyssa with the beautiful necklace her Auntie Rachael made for her birthday.."click, click, click..."

Hmmm...ham, April's baked beans, potatoes and green beans. And cake..lots of cake... Hmmm FULL!

Family groupings - smile everyone.."click, click, click"

Here, take one with my camera! "click, click"

Bye, bye, don't cry! We'll see you soon, I promise!
