Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Today we got up and went to 9 am Mass at St. Rita. Claire was very good in church, everyone told us so. She flirted with the two boys behind us, but what else is new! She took a nap when we got home, and when she woke up, the Easter Bunny had come! The Bunny had left her two baskets, one at home, and one at Grandma's house. He brought her lots of cool stuff, a bunny, a Pooh Bear, a coloring pad, crayons, cookies, and puzzles, oh and don't forget the yellow bunny ears. We went out for a family lunch at Buca di Peppo. Thomas met us for lunch, but he had spent the morning at the fire station. Before lunch they had gotten a call from a lady that had fallen (and couldn't get up!) When they got there, the door was locked, so instead of breaking down the door, they tried to get into a window first. The apartment was on the second floor, so they called the fire truck with the ladder and Thomas volunteered to go up and in through the window. Well the window was kinda small, but he managed to get his shoulders through...... then he got stuck! So, his head is in this lady's apartment and his butt is still hanging out on the ladder. The lady says "Can you see me?!" Sure enough, there she was in the living room, on the floor looking at Thomas. Thomas says "Yes, ma'am, how you doin'?" They ended up having to break into the door anyway. As one rescue team tended to the woman, two other firefighters had to get Thomas out of the window.... they were laughing their asses off the whole time, of course. Needless to say, Thomas was our Easter Lunch entertainment. After lunch, Auntie Kristen came out to visit and brought the present the Easter Bunny left at HER house for Claire.... a Radio Flyer Tricycle! Just like the one she test drove at the store. Her legs are still a little too short to pedal herself, but she was more than happy to sit back while Mommy pushed her up and down the driveway!
