We spent Easter in the Catskills - specifically in Wyndham, NY at Mo's brother's ski house. Stunning home and views! And Isabelle had a blast with cousins Trip, Wil, Maggie and Quinny.
We went bear hunting (Trip, Wil and Maggie proudly returned with fungus), stunned patrons at the "Minerva" Fondu Restaurant, recorded the best worst performance of Mack the Knife, sang a rendition of Here Comes Peter Cottontail that included verses from She'll be Comin' Around the Mountain, were befuddled by an 11:30AM Easter mass start time, debated the virtues of such pressing news stories as Valerie Bertinelli's weight loss (I argue she no longer looks like her) and Giselle's public discussion of Tom Brady's son (what is she thinking?), and filled the house with tickle time laughter. 
Isabelle painted her very first Easter eggs, went on her very first Easter egg hunt, and--in Matthew McConaughey style--discovered naked bongo drumming. Anytime someone started tapping a beat, she'd tug on her clothes, "Off! Off!" This caused a series of jokes about what this means come college. 
The kids went crazy for the bunny cake Auntie Mo made, and--as you can see from the mass gathering of blue jellybeans in between the bunny's eyes--Dennis went a little crazy with the jellybean decorations.
The Best Sharing Award of the weekend goes to Quinn! 
Nana's Easter ham and carrot casserole were delicious--(and she had no problem eating them despite all the chipped teeth the anesthesiologist told her she had)!
And at the million dollar pie country store, Isabelle can't decide if she should pet the kitties, watch the Vietnamese pot belly pigs eat, chase the chickens, visit the bunnies, pet the doggy, or eat the chocolate donut she "insisted" on having (what better way to wash down a jellybean breakfast?). 
Isabelle now has her very first lacrosse stick...a pink, Lily STX... (Thanks, Uncle Mike!) which she'll bring to the Harvard/Brown game tomorrow!
In Isabelle's Easter basket:
-3 books (Haiku Baby, Home For A Bunny, The Golden Egg Book)
-Flashing light and glitter bouncing ball
-Kid chopsticks
-Abby Cadabra doll
- Bear shaped bubbles
-Heart necklace and bracelet
- Two pairs of sunglasses
