Happy Easter

2008-03-23 Ryan 17 months

We enjoyed a fun filled Easter weekend up north in MA. Greg returned home from his business trip (with major jet lag!) and we picked up Auntie Jen and Uncle Paddy and all rode up Ma together. Greg, Ryan and Uncle Paddy enjoyed a peaceful nap (click on the photos above to see the cute pic of them napping) on the way while Jen and I got caught up with new happenings.

Thanks to Grammy and Granddad "Dad Dad" (as Ryan calls him) we were able to enjoy a fun night out with Greg's brother and sister and their spouses. It was so great to get out and enjoy a night of adult converasation minus the distractions. Grammy and Granddad enjoyed their little visitor for the weekend. Ryan received many new toys/treats from the Easter bunny. He especially enjoyed his new tricycle and will soon be pedaling away (now he scoots). He also received some treats hidden in the plastic eggs pictured above. Thanks to both sets of Grandparents and the Aunties and Uncles for their generous Easter goodies for Ryan!

Grammy and Granddad also watched Ryan on Saturday so Greg and I could do a little shopping at the new mall in Natick. It is so huge now and I love window shopping (thats about it) in all the new expensive stores there called the collection. But I did find a dress for a wedding we are headed to in Kansis City the end of May that was the goal of the shopping visit. It is hard to dress shop with a busy toddler who hates to sit in a stroller once it has stopped moving:)We hear the grandparents took him to an Easter party in town where he charmed everyone there. Got to meet some close family friends for the first time. Greg and I were sorry we missed the party.

We enjoyed a fabulous Easter with Greg's side of the family and Ryan got to spend some quality time with his Great Grandparents and his Aunties and Uncles. We had a wonderful hoiday and it was so great spending time with the family. Ryan enjoyed the egg cracking - an Armenian tradition at Easter. Everyone gets a hard boiled egg and we crack them against our partner and the last egg standing unharmed wins. I think Uncle Paddy won this year but Ryan definitely enjoyed the game as well. Thanks to the Flynn's for a wonderful weekend. It was great seeing everyone!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Click on the link above to see some updated photos.
