Easter

For Easter weekend, my sister, Genevieve, and my friend, Marie, came to visit. We had already planned to make hats for the Easter parade on Fifth Avenue. For those who are not familiar with New York's Easter parade tradition, on Easter Sunday, on Fifth Avenue, people walk around with interesting hats that they usually made themselves. It's not really a parade, but the street is closed and people walk up and down showing or looking at everybody's hat. The day before the parade, we went to a craft store, Michael's, and we bought all kinds of stuff to make our hats. Mine was like a giant nest with small birds on it. Marie's was basket with flowers, artificial AND fresh!, and birds and buterflies. Gen's was a cowboy hat with glittered rabbit ears sticking out. We had a lot of fun making them and certainly showing them off. It really weird when we walked down the street, everybody wants to take pictures, not only of your hat, but with you. You can see that Jr is not on the pictures, that's not because he didn't want us to take pictures of him, that's because he didn't want to make a hat and come with us!
On Easter morning, Gen made us all brunch, it was really good.
