What a wonderful Easter.

Angela was on spring break all last week.  Mommy took Thursday and Friday off so we could enjoy the beautiful weather and time together.  Thursday was Karate, so it was really great to watch her.  She is doing so well.  She gets to move up to the regular classes this fall, so it will get a little harder, but I have seen a big improvement.  I am really proud of her.  She also got to spend the night with her Grandma Barb, who she does not get to see as often now.  Grandma's job is very demanding.  I am so glad they had time together.  Friday afternoon we went and had a picnic at a park up near the airport.  I am so glad we fond that one.  Nadia is a little girl that goes to her school, but is not in the same class.  They get to ride the bus together, so when Angela found her at the park, she was so happy tp have someone to play with.  From there, she went to spend the night with Grandma Pam and Papa.  She was pretty tired by the time we got there, so I am sure Grandma had her hands full for a while.  She got home about 5:30.  We went to Walmart and got her a new bike helmet because she has grow out of the one she used last year.

On Easter morning she woke us up at about 6:30 to tell us the Easter Bunny had been there.  I was able to get her back to sleep long enough for me to take a shower and get ready for church.  She woke up and we headed downstairs to get her breakfast.  When she hit the landing at the top of the stairs, she stopped dead and just looked.  Her mouth was hanging open, when she slowly turned to me and said" Mommy, the Easter Bunny got me a new bike".  She was so excited.  After church, Easter egg hunting and a couple trips around the block with the new bike, we headed to Aunt Becky's for Easter dinner.  We took two cars so we could take her bike for her.  After we ate the wonderful meal that Grandma Pam and Aunt Becky prepared, they headed out to the back yard for the Easter egg hunt.  Then Grandma Pam, Grandma Barb, cousin Jacey and I headed out so Angela could ride her bike.  Aunt Becky has very big blocks and great sidewalks for bike riding.  She did so well.  We then headed back for a little rest and some more food.

The Easter bunny left Angela another Easter basket at Grandma Pam's.  She got a couple of really cute summer dresses for church, some new slippers, some new bath toys, a stuffed Chick that peeps.  Grandma Barb also got her a couple of baskets as well with so many things. You would of thought it was Christmas again with all the gifts she got.  We had to paint her finger nails and two nails last night before bed.

Today was her last day of spring break, so iDaddy took her around the block this afternoon and a visit to Grandma Pam's and Pap's.  They had a good day. Mommy took her for a bike ride down to the park, around the walking track and back home.  It was our after dinner work out.  I am looking forward to getting out in the evenings with her and walking while she rides her bike.  I hope to get her comfortable enough to start working on getting the training wheels off by the end of the year.  We will see.

Well back to our normal weekly routine tomorrow, so no more extra sleep for Mommy for a while.  She has about 9 more weeks of school.  I have a feeling it will go faster then we expect it to.

I will update again soon with a report on how the rest of the week goes.
