We had a wonderful Easter this year. My brother (Blake) invited us to his sister-in-laws house for Easter dinner, thinking that we wouldn't accept, but SURPRISE, we did!!! He even threatened tons of people we wouldn't know - but we still accepted! HA! Anyway, Todd offered to stay home with the 7 dogs so mom and I could take the girls on an overnight vacation to Lancaster. We got to go to Cosco, my favorite store in the whole world, swim in the hotel pool, visit a new mall (always fun), and spend Easter with my brother and his wife and her family.

Oh...and I got to laugh my ass off when my mother, trying to escape with her 12th lemon bar without getting caught, ran right into the screen door and ripped it out it's track and sent it flying across the deck. She hit it so hard, she actually left part of her bar on the screen. Alison's brother-in-law ,and owner of the screen, offered to power wash it off after we left.

Bella was dressed like a winter princess (it is too cold in PA to actually wear a traditional Easter dress) in a hot pink tutu and matching black sweater. She took off across the yard to play on the swing set and decided to go by way of the mesh-covered pool, thinking it was part of the ground. Wrong. Once she hit the middle of it, the mesh gave way and down she went. By the time I got to her, she was laying face down in a large puddle of water. We were all jealous that she got to change out of her dress-up clothes and into her jeans and t-shirt:)
