Samantha was great in the car, as always. She slept for over half of the ride both ways .. which was even better!
We arrived at Baka and Paw's House Friday evening and went for a swing in the backyard to stretch our legs! She was so happy to see Baka, Paw and Teta Nina too! She got spoiled with some very nice Easter gifts, bubbles, new outfits, bumblebee earrings from Teta Nina, and bunnies!! I think we came home from Cleveland with 4 or 5 new stuffed bunnies! ha!

She was so great with going right to Baka and Paw. I was so happy. Lately she has "stranger danger" syndrome, and kind of freaks when people come near her who dont see her everyday...she was laughing hysterically all weekend at Paw, playing hide and go seek around the kitchen, swinging, and feeling his scratchy beard!

Easter Sunday, we tried to get a family picture, but Sam wasnt havin it...

In the car on the way to Mass
After Church and a breif cat nap we walked around the front yard. It was such a beautiful day, sunny and near 75 im sure.


Then in the afternoon we went to cousin Gracie and Julia's house for a huge Easter dinner... and desserts of course!
Gracie was holding Samantha on her lap in her little car, and then they walked around the yard, and Grace made sure Samantha didnt eat the grass she was picking..


Here are a look at the awesome Mock Peach cookies that I helped make.. I HAD to know how to make them for future reference, ha!

We said goodbye to Baka, Paw & the family, and headed back to Buffalo... Samantha slept until just past Erie, where we stopped at Chik-Fil-A (I was SOOO excited!) Samantha loved the nuggets, and sat in the highchair like a little lady while Daddy and I finished our lunch.

When we got home, Auntie Shauna sent ANOTHER awesome Easter gift/basket for Samantha! She loved it, even the chocolate which she was trying to pry open with her 1/2 of a tooth! She sent us a phone, 2 great books, candy, a pooping bubble gum chicken and Samantha's all time favorite .. a BALL!!!

All in all it was a great weekend in Ohio and always good to come back home too.
Wehn we walked in the door Samantha knew she was home though, she kept kicking her feet and shreiking.. haha..
