Easter

This Easter we had such a great day.  It was our third Easter in California, which is a little crazy.  It was one of those days that I could have been depressed because we live so far from all of our family and friends (with the exception of Nora of course, and all the friends we have met here).  But, instead our day was filled with friends and fun.  When we woke up Easter morning the kids were so excited to see that the Easter Bunny had visited.  Sam said that he tried to stay awake to spy the Easter Bunny, but he was too tired.  Sam hunted lots of eggs, and had help from Allie who found a couple eggs all on her own, and Tobi and Bird who even sniffed out a few of the hard boiled eggs.  We then headed to our friends house for a little brunch and another Easter Egg hunt.  We went home for a couple hours while Allie took a nap and Sam and Jason watched Kung Fu Panda (Sam's newest obession).  Then it was time for our Easter Bar-B-Que at the Morgan's house.  There Sam found more eggs than any other "big" kid there, those eggs were stuffed with scratcher lottery tickets (no big winners).  All in all it was a great day.  I do still miss all that family, but it's nice to know we have found our little place in our little corner of the world.
