Easter was a busy weekend for the McCarthy's. We had tons of family in town, which meant plenty of get togethers. Scott's mom and sister stayed at our house, and my grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins (all of them!!!) were here for the weekend (thankfully not at our little townhouse).
The weekend began with a visit with Aunt Janet and Julianna at a little park in Danville. Jaynie showed off her walking skills, swinging skills, and duck pointing skills.

Saturday was Easter prep day, which meant dying eggs, making potato salad, and baking desserts. And of course a trip to the toy store since Grandma was visiting!

Then came Easter. The last time Jaynie had to deal with huge family get togethers was at Christmas time, and she was a bit under the weather, and was hardly herself at all. I was a little worried about Jaynie braving the crowds again, but this time she was a champ!! She stayed up 2 hours past bedtime on Easter, and didn't even let out as much as a whine that she was exhausted. I think she didn't want to miss any of the party, so kept going and going. Good girl =)
We had 30 people at my parent's house, complete with our annual ping pong tournament. This year also featured an egg hunt, starring Jaynie. Out of 30 people, Jaynie was the only child (hint hint cousins), so she did a solo hunt. She was thrilled to open the eggs and find goldfish, yogurt melts, and chocolate. She even tried her hand at ping pong.

Egg hunt time! |

My cousin Christian won the tournament this year, with a $132 prize, and Jim F. took second place with $65. The stakes are going up! I really need to practice for next year, since I have been eliminated in the first round every single year. No pics of the tourney, as I was hardly able to watch any of it as I was keeping my eye on my very active one year old!
