Good Friday.

For Easter this year, I bought Ashlyn the Resurrection Eggs so I could tell her the story of why we celebrate Easter. She loved this activity and I think she learned from it. Yesterday, Mike was off from work so we decided to dye Easter eggs with Ashlyn. She wasn't very patient while we waited for the eggs to darken, so we decided to take a bath to pass some time. When we came back to take them out she was excited to put more back in. We will decorate them at my parents this weekend.

Ashlyn and I left for Petersburg this morning at 6:30 am. I thought she would sleep on the way down but as soon as I woke her up she was excited to leave and didn't sleep. It was actually a nice ride down. Ashlyn did great and we didn't have any traffic. We arrived in Petersburg long enough to say "Hi" and unload the car, then we were off to Illinois. We stopped in Vincennes for a few things and grabbed lunch to take with us. When we arrived at my Grandma's house we went inside and Aunt Cindy and Uncle Terry came over to eat lunch with us. Brandt (my cousin) came to visit and then later my other cousin Brian and his family came to visit also. Everyone was off work for good Friday. It was a rainy day outside but we had a wonderful visit inside. We left for Petersburg and Ashlyn was worn out. She only had a 30 min. nap the entire day but was in great spirits.
