Easter

Oh how my Blog has suffered these past few months!  I have been so busy and so much has happened that I can not wait to share with everyone, including the new addition to our family our sweet baby boy Harrison :-)  For now I will back track and post all of the stuff starting with Easter.  Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it represents Christ's Resurrection.  In Chicago this time of year demonstrates new life with the change in season.  The flowers and trees come back to life and it is beautiful.  This spring we were fortunate to have some unexpected heat waves reaching into the 90's!  But keeping with the Chicago tradition it didn't stay for long and we had some chilly days as well.  The girls love every holiday and they were thrilled that we were hosting Easter brunch again this year.  They were also very happy to visit the Easter Bunny (no tears), which was a relief to us because we are never quite sure how it is going to go.
