Jelly bean trail

Happy Easter everyone!!

My memories of Easter are waking up to find that the Easter Bunny had left a jelly bean trail, the jelly bean trail lead to my Easter basket. I loved Easter because of this. So, I followed this tradition and the E.B. would lay out a jelly bean trail for Joshua also.
There is no jelly bean trail this year, we are taking a break, because next year we will be in full E.B. mode again....and Josh realizes that, so I figured I would give him a break from my cheesiness this year. Instead, here is my sophisticated jelly bean message for the family.....

Our 1st Anniversary happens to fall on Easter this year . We also got engaged on Easter, so it is a pretty special holiday for me. Our engagement is something that will be fresh in my mind forever. My husband is so creative. I told him of the jelly bean trail that I always loved as a child and he remembered this. When I arrived at my Me-mom & Be-pop's they had a jelly bean trail set up for me. I thought it was super strange that my Grandparents did this for me, but I had moved from Md to Pa and I thought they were so sad by that and they decided to do this for me. So, I went with it. (You can tell by the video how embarrassed I am that they did this though). I followed the trail and there were little gifts along the way. 1st was a charm for my Pandora bracelet. 2nd was a heart necklace. 3rd was a glass egg, I opened it to find a ring and turned around to see Anthony on his knee. I teared up just typing this. It is something I will never forget. My cousin, Susan, didn't know what was going on, but she pressed the record button on her camera and I'm so glad she did!

The next April, we had our Wedding Day that I will never forget. Anthony surprise serenaded me there. My husband is wonderful, full of surprises.

And now, here we are .... one year later ... and next week would be when we were on our Honeymoon...where little Madeline was conceived. Amazing what can happen in 2 years.
