Happy Easter/Birthday!

We are very fortunate to have a wonderful babysitter for Baylee when our shifts overlap for work. Her name is Gloria and she's in our ward. She and her family invited us over on Sunday for a bbq and to go to the park to hide eggs for the kids. We had a lot of fun. Baylee was playing and walking at Gloria's house so much that when the time came for the easter egg hunt, she crashed! She woke up just in time though to find a few eggs of her own.

This is GloriaOne of the eggs had bubbles in it! Baylee girl loved that! Unless you're Mexican you probably don't know what's all over our heads and in our hair and all over our clothes. It's confetti! Starting at the beginning of the year, Gloria would start collecting the egg shells. Whenever they would have eggs for breakfast or french toast, she would carefully crack the shell and only open up a small hole in the top of the egg. She would rinse it out, let it dry, and after about a million eggs (or so it seemed!) she fills them with confetti, puts a piece of thin tissue paper over the hole and glues it down. Then the tradition is to crack them on the heads of others! It was good times--as you can tell Baylee even got in on the fun!
