happy easters!

i love easter...so much time with my family.

my favorite part is when we have our huge easter egg hunt.

and, i actually came [--] this close to NOT doing it yesterday!

thanks, mimi, for talking me into it :)

my rear is so sore from bending down, i'm so out of shape!

haha.

ALL the cousins...yes, all...line up at the door at our grandma's,

and we all RUSH outside to gather up as many egg's as we possibly can.

after we have exhausted the resources, we begin a rowdy game of smashing eggs filled with confetti on each others heads.

its hilarious.

my camera died before i could get pictures :(

on a sad side note, my mom hardly said two words to me.

there is a still a huge rift between us..

its really sad, and really painful because we were making so much progress.

i'm not going to end on that :)

so, alyssa (in the pictures above) is 5

and she is a mess.

she kept peeking outside to see where my aunts were hiding the eggs,

and mimi started teasing her and saying "oh, no, you're not going to be able to get eggs anymore, because you cheated!"
and alyssa started getting really upset and really defensive...

so then mimi's mom, my tia lupita, came in and said "well, maybe YOU'RE the one cheating mimi!"
at the moment, you could literally see the light bulb go off in alyssa's head...

her mouth dropped SO FAR DOWN and she says
"yeah, i didn't cheat! see? you're the one that cheated!"

hahahhahaha she jumped onto that so quick.

it was hilarious.

kids say the darndest things.
