Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone. It was my second Easter, and I knew a little more of what was going on for the day. At least I knew there was a party with a bunch of family, lots of food, and goodies from the Easter Bunny (Little People stuff, Dora animal crackers & bubbles, about 6 more books, new rubber ducky, socks & t-shirts for summer, a funny bird hat, juice boxes, tops, Tink stickers, and some other stuff).







We started the day off going to 8:00 Mass, and I decided to sing more than ever before. I sang quite loud with most of the songs. Sometimes, I tried to sing while Father Mike was talking. Mommy actually giggled when I babbled on during the a quiet moment. Daddy says this is the most unruly I've ever been, but I was just being loud in celebration of Easter.


After the excitement I fell asleep in the car on the way home, so Mommy and Daddy didn't get a picture of me right away. After I woke up, Daddy gave me animal crackers, and Mommy made me wear a bib to keep my dress clean. I was wearing my slippers, but that didn't stop me from putting on Daddy's shoes too. When I had both on, Mommy took a picture that she said made me look like Madeleine Potatohead because his shoes stuck out funny. I decided to post this photo instead because you can see me standing in the shoes better. Plus it really shows off the flowers in the bottom panel of my dress!

I was in my regular clothes for a while, but when Boppa and Grandma Gina got there, she changed me back to my Easter dress for the party. Aunt Dan & Auntie Karen were the next to show up, so I got to show off my dress to them and have some fun playing. Grandma Mary, Great-Gommie, Great-Grandpa, and Great-Uncle Michael, all came in one vehicle, so we were ready to eat. Good thing, because I was hungry for something more than animal crackers! After we ate, Boppa tried to get me to take a nap, but I was fighting hard. Aunt Dan apparently had the magic touch (or was it that he took me outside where it wasn't so warm?!), and I finally fell asleep.



So you know how the Easter Bunny brings eggs? I hear they'll be hidden next year, but this time they came in this package...

I opened the box, and found the funniest eggs I had ever seen...

Here's Daddy with his man-pretty, clean face (and his Easter honeys). I haven't really paid much attention to the difference, but Mommy says he really looks like his dad again.

Since Daddy doesn't have that mustache going any more, I thought I'd give it a try (with Grandma Gina's help!)...
