Easter Sunday

Well, Easter in Boston was gorgeous this year. Sunny and in the low 70's. Really, there was no way for it to be prettier. We all went to church in the morning and afterward we had a picnic at Ellis' favorite park. Nonna (my mom) sent Ellis a huge Easter basket which she loved! All in all, a glorious day to celebrate Christ's resurrection.

Park!
No dress will keep her from running around
Daddy wanted to "hold her like a baby" and she let him.
Chocolate ice cream!
Gorgeous ice cream face
Sugar overload...no, really. She usually goes to bed at 7:30 but this night she didn't fall asleep until almost 10. We learned a valuable "no chocolate after 2 p.m." lesson that day.

Los Angeles 2010

Well, once again, it's been a while since I posted. But I do have a few good excuses again. First, we were in L.A. for about 10 days (with some friends) visiting my brother, etc. And second, we've been buying a new condo and selling our old one. We aren't moving far, just across town, but it's been very time consuming! Anyways, here are some pictures from our recent trip to L.A. I'll post Easter pictures next.

Looking out the window of the airplane. She did really well on the 6 hour flight (non-stop, of course!)

Doesn't she look so grown up? Chilling in the lobby of my brother's apartment.

More roof. It was gorgeous up there...and HOT!

Nonna is laughing at her because she's trying to get the sand out from between her toes. She tried for a while!
More cleaning between her toes
