I saw a funny video the other day, and in it, a little girl (maybe 4 years old) was asking her dad about Easter and

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Tennessee, to see family. My family, to be specific; my sister, brother-in-law, nieces and their children live there. As always, we had a lovely time and as always, we left feeling that we wish we lived closer to them.
