Family time

The best part of spending Easter in southern Illinois was the family time. Allie got to see her Grandma and Grandpa Durso again, as well as her Aunt Julie. She also got to meet her cousins Carson and Cole!

The last time Allie saw her Grandma and Grandpa Durso was when she was a week old. She's grown a lot since then, and she was a lot more awake!

One of the fun things we did was a visit to the Blue Sky Winery in Carbondale. Allie seemed to want to share the wine.

It was a nice relaxing way to spend a vacation afternoon.

After Cole (left) and Carson (right) found the Easter Eggs Grandma and Grandpa hid for them, they spent some time getting to know Allie. They seemed to all get along fine.

I think Allie enjoyed meeting so many new people. She has a really big family!

Grandma gave Allie an Easter Bunny and other presents in her Easter basket. I didn't think to take a picture of the basket though. I took tons of pictures of everything else but not the basket!

Its too bad we live so far away. I wish we could take Allie to see her grandparents more often. But we enjoyed this visit and got lots of quality family time. We'll probably go back down sometime over the summer. Who knows what kind of mischief Allie will be up to by then?
