We have a new cousin - baby Santino! He is soo cute. Cousin Rocco is his big brother and Maria loves to play with him.

Maria loved all her presents from the Easter Bunny - she even wore her hat!

Maria and Mommy went to the local park district Easter Bunny party and had our faces painted - fun!

We took our 1st trip to visit Nonno & Nonna in Naples, FL - they are winter snowbirds... Maria had a ball! She is such a big girl now - she carries her purse with her when we go out.
