Easter weekend

What a great Easter weekend! My parents flew in and it was so nice to see them after all these months! We BBQed Friday night then McKaylah hosted a sweeeeeeeeet dance party with flyers and tickets she made up. We drank wine and bay breezes and danced to Culture Club, Flock of Seagulls, Feist, ABC and more fun tunes. Saturday we went to Manayunk, a neat neighborhood in Philadelphia to deliver more Love Notes (my parents had only heard about it, they had never witnessed it first hand) and they thought it was so funny. It was pretty breezy that day until we returned home for our neighbors annual Easter Egg Hunt block party. McKaylah and Ava found lots of eggs, ate waaaaaaaay too candy and drank hot cocoa, and then came home to dye eggs. McKaylah and Ava had recently received dragon eggs from Hogwarts, and so they dyed those as well (before they need to be returned since of course under age Muggles can't raise dragons!) I made a yummy vegetable soup and we had more wine and bay breezes. Sunday of course was an early morning get up and get looking (and hiding more) eggs. They girls loved looking for eggs over and over. Later in the afternoon it actually turned quite nice and we went for a walk before our delicious dinner was done baking. After we enjoyed the cupcakes my mom and the girls made earlier, all decorated so sweet! Then it was "Talent Show" time, McKaylah organized a talent show with flyer's and tickets and schedule. I did miming since my all my acts were taken (humph!), Dave did cartooning, and Ava did singing and baton twirling. Then Rose and Ava did a ventriloquist act, which was hilarious! Rose and Dennis also danced to 1234 and then McKaylah did gymnastics and twirling. Rose and Dennis ended up winning, but I did get honorable mention....
