Egg, egg, egg!

Noelle participated in her first Easter egg hunt on Sunday, and did great! Of course we had a practice round at the house the day before. It took a couple tries, but she quickly got the hang of putting the eggs in the basket rather than just picking one up, holding it above her head and saying "egg, egg, egg!". We spent Easter Sunday with Laurie's local cousins in Pleasanton, and my parents came over to join the celebration.

Our vacation is winding to a close and we are flying home tomorrow. Back to work on Monday, bleh. We've had a great week and spent a lot of time with family and friends. Noelle has also enjoyed her time with grandma and grandpa Iida and cousins Allison and Sydney.
