Easter

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted but life is always busy. The Grimes family had a great Easter. Josie was very excited by the art themed Easter basket she received from The Bunny and the big Minnie Mouse doll that was sitting next to it.

We spent the holiday at my parent's house. It was kinda weird not staying the Saturday night like the past years but since we are only 45 minutes away now it was easier to drive over and back. The Bullock Clan was there too so it was nice to have the whole family together. We were also celebrating Rebecca's 11th birthday. I can't believe she is 11 already, I remember when she was just a week old.

Since several members of the family, myself in particular, do not care for ham we had rib eye stakes for Easter dinner. They were wonderful! Great job grilling Dad!

Josie napped through the whole dinner. We ate around 3:00 but by 1:30 Josie was falling over tired. She had only slept about 20 mins in the car on the way over and so we put her down for a nap and she didn't get up until it was time for cake.

Speaking of cake, I got to make the bunny cake this year. It was my first year at making the bunny cake and I was worried it would not turn out well. But the finished product looked pretty good. It wasn't pretty under the frosting but it sure tasted good.

Oh I forgot to mention the surprise we found Easter morning. We found a half finished, giant birds nest in our grill!. We saw some straw and grass around the edge of the grill and I noticed some sticking out of the lid so we opened it up to find a big pile of nesting material. Thankfully it wasn't finished and there weren't any eggs. We evicted our avian squatters and left the lid up on the grill for a few days. But let me tell you those birds really want to live in the grill. They keep coming back despite what we do. I plugged the rotisserie hole they were using to get in with Styrofoam and they just picked that away and got back in. So it is back to open lid and lots of noise. Hope they get the point soon.

Step by Step

As I am sure you have all heard by now Josephine has taking her first set of real steps. We are so excited and we were able to catch it on video. I know everyone says that we are in for it now but I am excited about not having to lug her around all the time. I think I would rather run after her than carrying her everywhere. Here is the video clip of Jo walking.
