Happy Easter, again

We headed back to Western New York for a long Easter weekend. Although very rushed, we got to see just about everyone.

We had an early Good Friday breakfast at the Zaepfel's which also included the Benesch's. Aubrie was very excited to see her buddy Anna, and they had a great time wrecking the house...sorry guys :) Tyler also got 'reacquainted' with Clara. She was very interested in his nose.

That afternoon we went to the Broadway Market to pick up some traditional Polish eggs and Easter food. We then went to Kelly's Country Store to get candy...particulary Carmel Marshmallow Eggs (see previous post...Aubrie does not like Mommy's Carmellow eggs.) I am not sure what the rest of the country is like, but in Buffalo, you can find a candy store on almost every corner around Easter time, each selling different kinds of chocolate shaped items. We drove all over the Capital district and could not find a single store that had anywhere near the selection of chocolates. We have been told that Easter is more about filling the basket with eggs than chocolates around here.

We met Nater for drinks Friday night and got to talk baby. Congrats Nater and Julie...can't wait to find out what you are having.

The Easter Bunny came Saturday morning in Buffalo and then we were able to pick up a few more Buffalo items, while Aubrie and Tyler had Grammy time. We also met Sara and Chris for coffee before having Easter dinner with Jaclyn & John and Kevin & Lindsey and Grammy Lynda. Aubrie was thrilled to see everyone, but very disappointed that the 'baby doggie' did not come. I think Barron traumatized Clinton last time we were in Buffalo, so he got left at home.Saturday night we went to Rochester to see Grammy and Papa P and Aunt Katie. Fortunately Duke and Sadie were there, which pleased Aubrie to no end. She was also very happy with the bat that Aunt Katie bought her, since baseball is her new obsession-not that she have ever really played before.

Overall, a very busy but great Easter.
