Easter weekend...

Jen and James came to visit over the Easter weekend. The visits are never long enough, but we had tons of fun and they were able to see how much Paige has grown. Although the weather was sunny, it was tainted with a bitter cold wind all week. We managed to do a couple of outdoor activities such as the Bronte Creek farm, which is literally a 3 minute drive from our house. Surprisingly, we have never been there before. Now we can't wait to go there in the summer for a picnic.


Here's a picture of my cousins Jack and Tyler with Paige at Easter Sunday dinner. (Hair styled by Mike!):


You can see Paige's prized Dora Easter basket in the picture. She carried that thing around all night long. It had chocolates, hair elastics and plastic eggs in it. By this point she had smeared chocolate cake all over her dress, specifically the crisp white ribbon.

The day after Easter was Jen's 26th birthday. For the day we went to Niagara Falls and stopped at Rainforest cafe for lunch. We then went to the arcade where Paige had her first ever carousel ride. She also went on a spiderman car ride.



As part of Jen's birthday present we all (minus Paige of course) went to dinner in Toronto and then went to see Sound of Music. I would highly highly recommend it. The singing was phenomenal and the entire production was unbelievable. While we were out, Paige stayed with her grandparents for a sleepover.
Paige seems to understand that they had to go home to see Abby. She says she misses them and that they are at Abby's house. Awww :( We all miss having them here.
