We're back from visiting my family. It was eventful. Some fun and some not. I got the pleasure (somewhat!) of seeing some relatives I've not seen since I was about 16. Some I don't recall ever seeing at all. Some are exactly what I expected and a couple surprised me...not in a good way! Some were there from Florida for my Grandmother's 90th birthday party. 
There are a couple that I hope stay in Florida....in particular a couple of Aunts who appear to REALLY like Mike. So much in fact there are probably imprints of their hands on his body from constantly hugging him LOL! Which is funny considering I've not seen one of them since I was a baby, the other since I was 16, and they had never met him LOL! One aunt came over that I hadn't seen since I was 16. I don't like her and I never have. She's not nice! I was trying to be nice when she walked in so I went over to hug her. She sort of pushed me out of the way and said, "Why don't you let me put my shoes down first...geez." I had some things I wanted to say but I didn't because my kids were in the room. I didn't say another thing to her and am glad she was there for less than an hour. On another note, I did get to see my grandmother, my favorite uncle, and another aunt & uncle. I really like all of them and am looking forward to spending time with them the next time we go back. There was another aunt and uncle that really like but we missed them this time. We'll catch them next time. Hopefully I'll get to see some of my cousins soon...the nice ones anyway. See, my dad has 9 brothers and sisters, some of which have decided to re-populate the Earth so my family is just enormous. At this point I'd be surprised if there was someone in West Virginia or Florida that I wasn't related to LOL! I did 
some stitching in the evenings and my mom did some crocheting along with me. She made this doily for Cassie. Isn't it pretty? She's a really good doily maker. She tried to teach me to crochet once to no avail. I think I'd better just stick with stitching.

The kids had a really good Easter! The Easter bunny was pretty generous as usual. Each kid found a new Webkinz in their Easter basket...imagine that! The day before Easter they did some egg decorating and here's what they came up with. Now, have you ever seen an egg wearing clothes?! Too funny! Apparently I'm the one in the white hat and Mike is the one in the black hat...lol. We had a hold on our mail while we were gone. When we got back and our mail was delivered I was happy to find a package from Rachel. She was sending to me for a scissor and fob exchange we're in, in our
yahoo group. When I opened it up I found the prettiest little Santa scissor fob with matching Santa scissors! I just LOVE them! She knows how much I love Santas so both of these were perfect choices for me. Thanks so much, Rachel! I just realized I think I took a pic of the wrong side of the scissors. The right side has a Santa face on them. They're so cute! I'll post a pic of the scissors and fob that I'm sending to my partner when she receives them. They're heading to Canada so it'll be a bit.

Be careful pulling out those white hairs. The old wives tale I have been told is that for everyone that you pull out, two more grow in.
I have had some gray hair since I was in my early 20's. Tried to cover with frosting for a while. Then I just left it with a natural frost.
Cute Easter pic of the kids Jen. Glad you liked your Santas, but you really DO need to take a pic of the FRONT of the scissors! ROFLOL
