Happy Birthday, Sis!!!

Not only was today Easter, but it was also my sister's 20th birthday!

Happy Birthday Kara!!!

We love you!

ALIEN!

I haven't been the best lately about posting Vinny's art projects. (Maybe when I am off this week, I can do that... note to self...) Anyway, I can't pass up sharing this one.

I had to work late the other night, and when I finally got to see Vinny's stuff for the day, he was already in bed. What a suprise it was to find this....

I wondered why Vinny would put 3 eyes on his bunny. I know that he is weird, but he is usuallly so particular about this kind of thing. Well, after talking with Wendy, and then Vinny, I found out that this is an Alien bunny. Not only does it have 3 eyes, but it also has 4 front feet! Oh, of course!!! I see it now!

The Easter Bunny came!

I didn't get pictures this morning of Vinny opening his basket or doing the Easter egg hunt at home... I decided to enjoy it through my real eyes, instead of through the eyes of the camera.

Vinny was so excited to search for eggs. He couldn't believe that the Easter bunny knew that he wanted a bubble gun, the Lightning McQueen that he wanted or that he LOVED Lego Batman!

The Hemrich Easter

We went over to Dan & Linda's for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. The kids all had a ball, and I think the adults had just as much fun watching them.

Time to find eggs!

Tony thought he was pretty tricky. We did have to tell the kids to look up high to find it. Vinny was the one who finally spotted it.

The cool shirt that the Easter bunny brought Vinny.

Baby in a bucket! We had Vinny and Jules in the buckets and we were lifting them and giving them "rides."

Attempt #2 at a good shot...

#3....

#4....

I give up! At least of the 4 shots I got cute individual shots of a couple of them ;)

Jennings Park Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday we went to Jennings Park for their annual Easter Egg hunt. We all had a really good time. I have to admit though, it was kind of strange this year to just let Vinny run and go. They said no parents for his age group, so he was on his own.

The rule was onliy 8 eggs per child. It was funny to see Vinny out there counting his eggs, and then putting one back, then re counting and grabbing another, just to count again and put it back again.
