Easter Peeps...

We got all dressed up and most of us had nowhere to go. Just under half of us have some sort of cough. That means no Nana for all of us cootie exposed Martins and no church for the actively coughing. We still managed to make Easter a happening at our house.

Happy Easter, everyone! 

Hope you enjoyed your family time, too!
