    Hey there! I hope you had a very happy Easter weekend. Here are a few photos of our Easter.

    Eleanora, wearing her Easter Bunny pajamas, woke up to find that the Easter Bunny himself had paid her a visit, much to her great joy and surprise. (Just kidding, she didn’t know the difference, but the Easter Bunny thought it a good idea to get in the habit of stopping at our house.)
