Happy Easter! Christos Anesti! / Aleithos Anesti!









I had the joy of taking Amelia and Stephanos to see the Easter bunny yesterday. It's so funny because I had this matching outfit I wanted them to wear, esp. since it is Stephanos' first Easter and Amelia's first as a big sister. Thanks to Auntie Krista and Uncle Drew who drove to the Brea Mall to pick them up, my vision came true! They looked so cute. Amelia had a different dress in mind. She picked out this pick hippy dress. "no mama dis one, pink! No blue." Thanks to Nana she'll be wearing the pink one too:) Back to the Easter Bunny...Amelia was so excited she walked passed the others in line to meet him. She stood there with her fists tight, her little body trembling with joy and a big ole smile on her face. When it was finally her turn to meet him, to grabbed a carrot and offered it to him. Then she asked if he wanted a walleeyah (lollipop). He shook his head yes and she said "otey mommy pay." It was so cute. Amelia and Stephanos were surrounded with love by her Aunties and Uncle Dean. Amelia enjoyed her afternoon and now calls the Easter Bunny, Hop Hop. She still brings up Santa as Ho Ho. It's wonderful she keeps the holidays alive all year long. Last night we prepared our Easter eggs for the traditional Greek Egg cracking. Last year Auntie Missy won. Who will have the title this year? Tomorrow there's an easter egg hunt in the park we're hoping to make it to. Then we have church. Sunday we'll head to Nana and Papa's house for a fabulous family day! Happy Birthdays to Auntie M and Auntie Missy! Love you both!!!
