Holidays

This past weekend was Easter. Easter over the past few years hasn't been really a big deal, usually we get together with family and have ham and do the normal "family holiday get together". I can't help but think about when Jason and I were younger and we used to go over to Nana's for Easter Sunday and all the cousins would have an egg hunt and then we'd have a big early dinner. David talks about when he was young, his parents would get big bunny feet cutouts and dip them in flour and they would be all over the yard, just like the Easter bunny was actually there! We have definitely made a  mental note to do this for our little one. The Holiday Traditions that were created over my younger years are always special because when we lived in CT we had all our family close together and it was great. When we moved to NC the Holidays definitely lacked but we still always had a good time and there were usually friends that stopped by and games that were played. Now that I am married and once we have the little peanut, we will create our own traditions and I am so excited for that. We are both lucky that our parents and siblings are pretty close. I do wish Nana, Betsey and Bonnie lived closer, but I also enjoy my CT visits. The thought of Christmas with a baby just brings a smile to my face, everything will be so new, Santa will be "real" and there will be TOYS! lots of TOYS!
