Egg hunt canceled due to sprinkle

We don't always have a typical Easter with egg hunts and big church dresses.  Each year we seem to end  up doing something a little different and this year was no exception.  So after we had A find her basket which was outside of the front door and I tried to get out of my prego funk we jumped into the car and off to Winter Park we went.

Canny (candy) Mommy - look!

Yay-I'm going to Auntie K and Uncle Andy's house

lots of time spent in Ya-Ya's new car this weekend.

After the 2.5 hour drive we finally arrived and why was everyone acting so odd?  We start getting out of the car and here comes Kari and Jeff and as I'm trying to get out of the car and grab all of our stuff.  Including the swim bag, snack bag, diaper bag, toy bag and the list goes on and on and on.  As I'm trying to get everything out everyone keeps rushing me.  All of sudden I am told just to go inside and we will get everything else.  I assumed that everyone was being nice because I was feeling sick that weekend.  It all got a little more confusing when there was a sign on the door and I know they don't usually have something like that up...

I read the sign, but still wasn't getting it until I walked into the living room and it was all becoming clearer: balloons, people, cupcakes, food, and presents.  Oh wow - this is for us!  You see the shock was enormous because 1. I never expected it and 2. Kari doesn't do this kind of thing for me.  You are talking about a person who can not keep a secret!  Between Grant and Kari I know way too much and way too much.

I don't care about those silly baby clothes-where is my canny?

Little did I know that my sister had been facebook stalking my friends and I, because she sent out messages to who knows how many people letting them know about the sprinkle and people took time to send gifts to the house.  I am so lucky to have such caring friends.

So many presents we had to take shifts.

A, my card shark-Jeff owed her a quarter afterwards.

Daddy Grant's turn to open.

Check it out, Auntie K and Uncle Andy got me new blocks for Easter.

Yes, that is Kari in a kitchen-had to take a photo

yummy

after clean up

horrible pic of me, but a funny story - A was so tired from not napping that when we went to the potty she asked to sit in my lap and immediately fell asleep.  SO there I sat stuck on the floor and trying to whisper yell for help so that I didn't wake the beast.  That is a shower curtain behind me.

Had a nap, now lets play balloons.

Our growing family.

Thank you Auntie K and Uncle Andy

On a last note - the one problem with a surprise party is that no one tells you to do your hair or wear make-up.  Here I was ready to put my bathing suit on (scary, I know) not have my photo taken at a surprise party.
