Easter Babka

Sam woke us this morning before 7, with a stage whispered, "It's Easter!!!". After last night's Vigil (which ended after 11pm) I groaned and told him to go wake daddy. He did, and we started our day. After following (quietly - Mary was still asleep) the jelly bean trail, the boys were delighted with their baskets (Sam is doing a little move he saw a long time ago on a "Toddlers and Tiaras" commercial)~

Mary finally joined us and dug into her treats~

We started calling Mary "Babka" when she was just a few months old. The name stuck and I decided to make a real one this year. Sam is paczki and Charlie is chrusciki.
