First Holiday

     


First family holiday pic!



Last week, we had our first major holiday, Easter.  It's the one holiday where we split the day and have to go to two places.  Thank goodness, it's the only one.  The day started out rough with Lyla being a little out of sorts which then made me a little out of sorts which then made Eric a little out of sorts.  You get the picture.  Our first stop was GaGa Peach's house where we met up with our rowdy cousies.  It was all a little too much for our girl.  She apparently wasn't a huge fan of her outfit either.  Once her tights came off, she seemed to settle down a bit.  It was my first glimpse into how holidays would be from now on.   In true Lyla form, she needed to eat just as soon as dinner was ready so I was left to eat cold dumplings.  But, cold dumplings are better than none.



Our second stop was to Pope party where the festivities were winding down....and Lyla was winding up.  For the hour and 1/2 that we were there, she cried.  Non-stop.   We headed down the street to Eric's mom and dad's to feed her and to meet their new puppy.  Luckily, she fell asleep and stayed asleep for the rest of the night.  



The cousies...minus a few.



 After seeing the look on my face while my kid was screaming, Eric's cousin Stacy told me I'd better get used to it.  She said holidays are rough because you are running around everywhere and schedules get interrupted.  At least I get some practice in before Christmas.



This is what I did while
everyone else ate hot food.
