Give Me Five Monday Meme #19

The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple, short list! Here’s how it works: Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified. Sign up for weekly reminder emails at beccagirl@charter.net.

This week’s assignment from Becca at BeccA’s Buzz: Give Me Five favorite memories from your Easter day 2008: (edit: I did Easter weekend instead...)

1. I shared my birthday with the Easter Bunny and Jesus.

Yep, my birthday was yesterday, same day as Easter. And I turned 29! Aaack! Still holding onto my 20's... barely! But because of it, I got to see more family on my birthday than I would have had it not been Easter! And I had a yummy Easter/Birthday lunch with all the fixin's plus birthday cake! Mmmm mmmm mmmm! I don't think I could have gotten away with wearing bunny ears on my head either....

2. It was my son's first ever Easter!

Alex was born just after Easter last year so this was his first ever Easter! It was fun to play Easter Bunny and have his basket all done for him when he woke up in the morning. It was so much fun watching him pull all of his new stuff out of the basket! He loved a bunny book that we bought him. Kept him quiet through part of church too! Whew!

3. Easter Egg Hunt 2008!

Along with his first Easter, it was also Alex's first time Easter egg hunting! We went to a local church that had a huge event. We chose that one were a couple of eggs on the ground and we were able to form a protective circle around him and let him pick up some eggs. Of course as soon as he picked one up he wanted to throw it! Maybe I should have called it the Easter Throw 2008!/

4. Popcorn, seriously?

I learned Alex LOVES popcorn! At the same church event, we got tickets for snacks! It was $2/person for a hotdog, drink, bag of fresh popcorn, and some cotton candy! (You can't beat that deal!) We were sitting on the ground picnic style with some friends and their little ones when I felt my popcorn bag rustling in my hand. Alex was watching me eat popcorn, stuck his little arm in my bag, pulled out a handful and shoved it in his mouth! At first I panicked, I thought he might choke! But he downed the first handfull successfully and was going back for more! He ended up eating most of my bag. *sigh* Guess I better get use to that!

5. Money, money, money!!!

I got money from my family for my birthday! Yipeee! Not only did I get money, but I got enough to buy a new laptop (along with a generous donation from my own bank account of course)!!! Now comes the fun of researching and reading and trying to figure out what's best for the money! Any ideas and suggestions are welcome!!
