FREEDOM!!!

So, we made it past April 15th!!!! I hope everyone filed their taxes on time! My firm closes on the Friday after the 15th, so Patrick took off and we took it easy, ran some errands, and enjoyed being off together. Then I took a day to myself on Monday. Now it's back to the grind, just not nearly as many hours! Time to get to planning a baby shower for Patrick's sister, get my gift ready for my best friend's baby shower, my cousin's wedding this weekend, and some much needed catching up this summer on everything that I need to get done! Hopefully, I will actually get to enjoy some of my Friday's off this summer! Corley, Peyton and I will be doing a lot of this....

Easter 2010

We do a lot of Easter celebrating! We usually head to Cullman for the Easter vigil service at Sacred Heart...which is 3 hours long! It's really neat because we all have candles, and then 7 scriptures are read, pretty much in the dark. The service is very special and intimate. After mass, it's off to Denny's (where we saw prom-goers from one of the area schools! Wow! Prom dresses have changed a lot in 10 years!) Then it's on to Albertville the next morning for church with my family and then Easter egg hunting! This year it was at Pops & Nana's house (my Mom's parents). At one point Lilly started pouting because she was hiding eggs for Pam and Holly, and Zoe kept picking up all of the eggs. I wish I had a picture of her on the storm pit. But, if you look at the very end, I did find a picture of my pouting incident when all of the boys found the prize eggs, and I never got one...Here are just a few of the pictures we took.

And the picture you've all been waiting for...

Dad was giving me the "the prize egg is not what Easter is all about. Now dry up and get out there and have fun!" speech. Glad we don't have to have many of those anymore!

Have you ever heard the saying, "let sleeping dogs lie." If we did that, I don't think she would ever get up...?
