Happy Easter

Over the course of this holiday weekend, I composed three blog entries in my head. And now I can't remember what I was going to write. So rather than try to recall and recompose three entries, I'm just going to share some pictures.

Visits from Grandparents:

Both of my parents made trips into town last week to help out with the kids. The kids were beyond excited!




Egg Hunt with Neighbors:

Every year we get together with other families on our street for an Egg Hunt at the park. This first picture is of T all bundled up. He does NOT like cold weather and was quite crabby until we layered him with an extra sweater and his winter gloves.


Oo and some friends taking a break after the hunt.

Easter Morning:

Before bed Saturday night, Oo informed both Adrian and I that she planned to wake up early, tip-toe downstairs and find all the eggs before anyone else could. What she didn't count on was being the last one to get up -- she was pooped out from running around the park the day before.

Once Oo was awake, the four of us headed downstairs to find out what the Easter Bunny had left. T bee-lined directly for his basket, pulled out a new pair of sunglasses, and put them on. He was so fascinated with his new shades that he didn't bother to look for eggs.


Lovin' the new glasses, T wore them ALL DAY LONG.


Aunt Meanie will be proud to learn that after finding all of the Easter eggs, Oo (aka Mini-Meanie) set to task sorting all of the contents of her Easter basket. As the picture below shows, the sorting included an entire jar of play beads separated by color, and later by shape.


Oo was thrilled with her new Easter dress. She loved that it was polka dotted (circles are her favorite shape) and that it matched the pink sparkly shoes that Aunt Cindy gave her. To add an extra touch of fanciness, we painted her finger nails bright pink. I love her girly pose in this picture!
