On Easter Sunday, my mom, aka "Granny", flew in from California for a very fun visit. After getting on the scale today, I realized that we may have had a little too much fun. 5 lbs worth of fun. Oh well...it was worth it.
The kids had their first Easter egg hunt at my in-laws new retirement community. I consider hunting for brightly colored eggs hidden among rocks cheating. Not quite as hard to spot as a California backyard. But it was great fun for AJ who, despite carrying a bucket with him, decided that the more effective way of gathering up all the eggs would be to see how many he could fit in his hands and under his armpits.

After eating lots of candy my mom decided that it would be a good idea to make Easter basket cupcakes. Like two dozen of them. I have a stomach ache just thinking about it. But they were adorable and very fun to make!

The highlight of the trip was going to the Turquoise Museum in ABQ. We learned more than we ever needed to know about turquoise, most importantly that there is so much to know about turquoise that one can never be an expert on it. I brought in a necklace that Tony got from a hauling job, which was bound by string and wrapped in a leather pouch. Based on the look of it I assumed that it must be a precious Native American artifact...but it was really only worth about $85. Oh well...
I loved having my mom here for the week. And I can't wait to have her back!
