Easter 2015

good times

Over Easter, Jon took the boys to the Danbury Railway Museum, where they met the Easter Bunny, and generally tore all over the place, checked out the trains, and did rockstar poses. There were so many good pics it was hard to choose these few.

oh, nothing, just hanging out next to Mimi.....

Love how Cade just siddled on up next to Mimi, and was hanging out at the dinner table......

easter egg hunt + cascarones, 2013

All in all, an excellent Easter egg hunt. Until Uncle Michael hit Jackson in the head with a cascarone, and then, you know, the world fell apart. Until Jackson stopped crying long enough to throw an egg back at Uncle Michael, and felt vindicated. Then, all was right with the world again.

easter egg-dying, 2013

While we did that, Mimi did this - the best chocolate cake I ever did have:

Please make it again soon. :)

Happy Easter!

Cade not feeling the Easter Bunny so much......"I'm good - I think I'll just sit on THIS side of the chair for now."

easter's on it's way

We're busy getting ready for Easter......



I want to make these awesome easy carrot garlands, that Abbey made on Aesthetic Outburst. Since Jackson's really good at cutting strips of paper, I think we can manage this.

I want to make some modern looking easter eggs tomorrow.

  

We've got a bowlful of bunnies for cupcake toppers.

And I just want to sit and stare at the bunnies in this picture. (Found via Sparrow and Spark).

And wish I had the time to hand-paint an egg like this one.

Happy Easter! 

Happy Easter!

Easter at Mimi and Nonno's. A beautiful day full of Easter baskets, egg hunts, Church, bubbles, silly string and delicious food. Jackson was so happy to be with his beloved Sammy.

More pictures soon. There were just too many good ones.

And more on the awesome bunny mask soon too. I won it! Isn't it awesome. I love it.

baby's first Easter

What a wonderful, sunny, happy day with family at Mimi & Nonno's.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter in Connecticut. More pics soon.

Great Aunt Jane sent some pictures of Great-Grammy and Great-Grammy and family, Easter, around 1956. I like the little bunny toy Robert or David is holding in the second picture.

Jane, Mary Lou, David and Robert (or maybe the other way around), I think it was in 1956, ready to go to church. Sorry, no Bill, Bill was In The Army? Also Dad and the twins and Mom and the twins on Mother's day same year.

Too bad we don't have a little coat and hat like that for you, Jackson!

How did Easter sneak up on me already? Is it really next weekend?

I think it's time to introduce Jackson to the Capellaro tradition of egg-fighting. I'm usually champion in this event, won by having the strongest dyed egg. Eggs are held in the hand and tapped against the opponent's until one of them cracks. Loser is permitted to turn his or her egg around to try again with the other side. The trick is picking an egg that doesn't have an air bubble on the end.

Can't wait to beat Uncle Michael and Uncle David and Cousin Jessee this year. Bring it on!
