Easter 2013 in Florida

If Christmas was the holiday of the Flu, then Easter was the holiday of gastroenteritis (although on a much smaller scale).  Fortunately, we had a heck of a lot more good times to make up for the pesky stomach flu that overtook Ellia on Easter day. 
We started off with the girls having their Easter celebrations at school.  Bianca's class took part in Calvary's school parade.  The girls in her class were flowers and the boys were sunshine.  We followed that up with a party involving crafts, an egg hunt and lots of delicious treats.  Ellia also had a class Easter party during which she sang a solo about the resurrection (cue proud Mommy moment).  See video below.
After the parties, the five of us drove down to Jacksonville to spend the week at Mimi's and Poppy's.  Unfortunately Daddy had to fly back to CLT to work for the week but, came back down the following weekend to help us drive home.  During our time there, Ellia came down with the stomach flu on Easter Day but, quickly rebounded so that she could join in on all of the fun.  The girls went to the beach, the zoo, the MOSH museum and Disney on Ice among other things.  They certainly are spoiled when we visit FL to say the least! Sebastian was as happy as ever and was easy to travel with.  He dressed up in Easter pajamas to celebrate his first Easter with us. 












Although Ellia was sick on Easter morning, she couldn't resist a pink Peep!
