Obligatory Family Easter Photo...

Here we are at church on Easter morning. The orchestra was practicing behind us... And we traveled far and wide for the perfect location for this photo.

Easter Morning: Tradition in the Making

This morning, when I woke up and went to wake up mommy and daddy, I was waylaid by the coffee table in the living room, where I found Easter Baskets! Filled with marshmallow Peeps! I ate two of my peeps before mommy and daddy caught me. MAN EASTER IS GREAT! Thanks Easter Bunny! The Easter Bunny also hid eggs all over the house - they were filled with wonderful items like pretzels, animal crackers, fruit snacks and yogurt bites. YUMMM!Eventually, I found so many eggs that Mommy had to give me a bigger basket.

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Baby Grant may need Daddy's help dyeing Easter eggs, but I'm a big girl and I can do it all by myself! (This picture was taken shortly before mommy decided that I did, in fact, need an extra hand.) Two seconds later, Grant got impatient with Daddy and dumped the entire blue cup in his lap. Good thing Mommy laid a table cloth down beneath our dyeing station, and that Daddy was wearing blue jeans. After the eggs dried, I was allowed to put stickers on them...here I am, concentrating hard on the task at hand. My finished product! I did them all by myself - except three (Mommy and Daddy each did one egg, and the 12th egg was too broken to add stickers). Do you like them? The one with buck-teeth is daddy's, of course.

Gardening with Mommy and Grant

Here I am, enjoying the finished product - the fruits of my labor. Mommy says it's best not to touch the flowers so that they can grow, but I asked her if I can touch them gently, and she said, "OK, but GENTLY, so they can still grow." Watering the new rosebush. Mommy says flowers get thirsty, so we need to give them something to drink. Filling the watering can. Mommy, I think the pink one looks best right here. Here I am, planting my first flower. Baby brother and I are tilling the soil (Miracle Grow potting soil, that is).Filling the planter with dirt. I'm really great with a shovel.

Here I am, abusing my poor exhausted brother at GWL one night before bedtime...

Journey UMC Easter Egg Hunt

My mommy and her friends, Sarah, Rebecca, Susan and Dawn at the Easter Egg Hunt. Miss Sarah, Mister Dave, and my special friend, little Lucy. Miss Sarah, Mr Scott, Miss Rebecca, Mr Paul, Lucy, Alex, Emily, Marshall and MEEEE, among others. We're all hunting for eggs! OOOH! Grant found a yellow one (and proceeded to open it and dump the contents directly onto the ground - better luck next year, bubba)!! I found FIVE WHOLE EGGS (and a glass of lemonade). SEE?! Pretty colors! Lots of SUGAR!Miss Dawn, Mr Dave and Sia - waiting for Amalia and Dominic to start their egg hunt (the one for big kids). And that tall guy out there, the one with the microphone, he's our church pastor - Bailey! Big kids? Whatever, I'm going to go get me some more sugar. I'm allowed to hunt twice.
