easter fun

we had a wonderful easter! we actually started it last night with a visit to my dad and maryann's house. he made his wonderful chicken and wild rice soup...and let me say, it was delicious! we had a great time visiting and hanging out with them! enjoyed a little rainstorm...ava liked to watch the rain hit the skylight.
this morning started with a surprise...daddy stopped on his way home from work last night and bought ava a bubble lawn mower and some white tulips for me (my favorite!) always fun to wake up to a surprise...i don't care how old you are! ava got some books, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk in her easter basket....such a sweet easter bunny! we went over to nonna's house around 12 and had lunch with everyone. bo had to go to work at 2, so he headed to work and we headed out to rick and joanne's for some easter family fun. ava always has fun with her cousins and there is always a huge egg hunt out there, which she enjoyed! i want to know how she knew to shake the eggs when she picked them up...she would pick it up, shake it, then put it in the bag!? so funny!
after all that fun, we headed out to my mom's and felix's for even more fun & more food! grams had hidden eggs all over the house for ava to find while we were there and she enjoyed that. we had yummy food and of course ava had to play out side, & feed macho and sam. felix gave her a ride in the wagon. i think that's her favorite part! the kiddo fell asleep on the way home...no nap and lots of play makes ava a very sleepy girl! we got home around 9 and i am so exhausted. it was such a great day, but it wore me out! i hope you all had a wonderful easter full of family and friends!
