WEEK IN REVIEW

It was definitely celebration central here at the Ross house. Good Friday brought Aunt Mindy, Uncle David, and Edwin to town!! We had a yummy dinner from The Blue Wolf Tavern. Our final fish on Friday meal. Man, it gets to be a challenge during Lent to come up with something new to eat without getting bored of the usual fish fry. The girls and I had fun dressing up Edwin with a pair of bunny ears. He looked so cute! Saturday was our official dyeing of the Easter eggs. My Aunt Ginny and cousin Claudia arrived from N.Y. to help assist in the festivities. Edwin seemed a bit tired to fully appreciate this activity, but that time will come for him to plop an egg and crack it. HAHA. Right, Meredith? Easter Sunday began with the mad search for the Easter baskets from the Easter bunny. The night before we set out the designated baskets on the counter so that the Bunny knew whose basket was whose :) Madeline was drawn to where Meredith's was hidden and we tried to pull her away from the box with the basket in it. Madeline just kept saying, "BUT IT FEELS HEAVY!!!". After locating their baskets, it was off to mass at 9 am. The kids looked so adorable and behaved so well through church. We then prepared for a delightful Easter meal at our house. With everyone's help we had a delicious feast. YUM! Thanks so much to everyone! After dinner we had an Easter egg hunt set up by Jill and Aunt Betsy. Even Edwin participated... if that is what you want to call playing with an egg that keeps being taken by Meredith! For dessert we had birthday cake from Das Dutch Haus , banana. Love it! It was my birthday which the celebrations continued on Monday with a dinner at the Youngstown Crab Co. I ordered a bucket of crab legs. Meredith did NOT care for that leggy bucket sitting next to her. I had to show her that there was no body connected to those legs! We now have web cam (courtesy of Dave and Mindy). So if you want to video chat over the Internet, let us know. :)
