Ain't She Sweet?

Today the store was closed, so I went up to my brother's for Easter dinner with the family. My niece Nicole was there with her new baby, Isabella Rose, who was born on March 21. I have a feeling she will be known as "Bella, " though. At least until she's a bit older and able to get in trouble from time to time, at which time she will be "Isabella Rose!" But right now she is tiny and newly minted. All sleepiness and innocence and curiosity about just who ARE all these new big people??? I got to hold her for a little bit. There is something about holding a tiny new baby that restores a person's faith in humanity. It was good timing because yesterday at work there were lots of cranky adult-sized babies who went around the store fighting over bags of candy and yelling at pretty much everyone they encountered because apparently it was our fault that they'd procrastinated on getting the Easter baskets together and we didn't have everything in stock for them. These are the same people who are apparently surprised every year when December 25th rolls around and we have Christmas again.

At any rate, getting to be with my family and getting to hold Baby Bella was the best thing the Easter Bunny could bring me.
