[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 587674, member: 1550"] While we do make a big family event out of Thanksgiving and Christmas, since we are really more spiritual than religious, we don't make Easter a big deal, but we did go visit daughter Julie in suburban Chicago (at least me and Jumper did). Husband stayed home with dogs. We spent all day Saturday at Woodfield Mall (famliar to all who live in Illinois). Julie's SO took a pass on the girl's shopping day! H e stayed home too. We had quite a workout walking in and out of all the stores and trying things on. Julie bought Jumper an expensive hair straightener for her birthday (which isn't until July!) and Nicole hugged her and hugged her, jumping up and down. We also helped Jumper pick out jewelry for Jumper's upcoming prom and we goofed around and had fun. I just LOVE my girls..I have so much fun with them. We ate at this Meditarranian restaurant. Yum!!!! The hotel we stayed at allowed pets and there were dogs walking in the lobby!!! I loved it since I'm a huge dog lover. Next time I'm asking husband to come with us because there is no longer the excuse that somebody needs to watch the dogs. Our other dogs, the ones we gave to the sanctuary, were very high needs and peed all over and growled and fought with one another and hub DID have to stay home with them. We could not have taken them even to a pet friendly hotel. These two dogs (see avator) are both very good. One of the ladies at the hotel had a sweet, rescued pitbull. I know some people are afraid of them, but not me and not anyone else there...she got tons of attention, especially from me. Sonic stayed in Wisconsin with his BFF all three days...first time he was away from home three days in a row and did fine. He also wanted nothing to do with the shop-fest, even if it included going out to a nice restaurant and his sister's great cooking later on. Sportsfan, Mr. 35 in MIssouri, called me at least ten times on Saturday, even though he knew I was with his sisters doing special things with the girls. I'd left my phone in the car. Didn't matter. I wasn't going to deal with his problems this weekend even if I'd brought my phone in with me. I wasn't going to ruin the fun by talking to the grump who stole Easter and every other holiday! Easter itself was just driving home from the hotel after a small vacation that left Jumper and me feeling really great. How about the rest of you? Check in! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! :) [/QUOTE]
