Easter Recap

Modeling her new shades!

I was really looking forward to Easter w/ Charlie this year.  Granted she is still a bit too young to understand the reason behind the holiday, but that doesn't mean she's too young to get an Easter basket and go on an egg hunt!

I was so excited to see her reaction to her Easter basket and the toys and candy in it.  The night before Wade and I had placed it all out on the TV stand and filled the plastic eggs w/ some Reese's candy eggs.  When she woke up Wade got her a new diaper while I made some coffee and then waited in the living room for her to walk in.  We pointed out her basket and told her the Easter Bunny had stopped by last night and left her some treats!  Her look was more like a 'What the heck is that?' look but it was quickly followed by excitement to tear into all the eggs and basket goodies.  It was a lot of fun to watch her.

Her favorite part of her basket was her new Mickey doll

Look Mommy, eggs!

Easter breakfast (please ignore the gross snot nose)

We decided to wait until after nap time to do the egg hunt so that the weather would hopefully warm up some.  The morning was just too cold!  So as soon as Charlie woke from her nap we told her that while she was sleeping we found some more goodies that the Easter Bunny had left her in our back yard!  She took off when she saw the first egg and didn't stop until she had them all in her basket!  She LOVED it!  She's an egg hunting pro!

And she's off!

Here's 2 more!

Flying high!

We had a very nice and blessed Easter and I hope you all did too.  We really should have gone to church services but Charlie has been battling a cold (which lucky me, I now have) and her patience is nil at this moment.  I know I would have spent the majority of the service out in the lobby walking around with her fussing and I just didn't want to deal with that.  Pick your battles, right?  :)

Anyway, happy late Easter!

Hoppy Easter! (B/c NOBODY ever says Hoppy in place of Happy)

Charlie's first Easter! It's a beautiful day out and the Moh's invited us to join them for Easter service! I got Charlie all decked out in her most adorable dress and tights and we were off. She did very well during the service. Luckily the service was only 35 minutes long b/c she was starting to get fussy towards the end. Only a few minor squeals out of her but no crying fest so I consider that a success. And I almost forgot! My favorite quote from the service came from little Mason to Charlie: "Do you know Jesus? He's a baby!" SO cute! :)

Today also marks the one year anniversary of Paps passing away. It's bittersweet. I know it was his time obviously. He lived a good life and was in bad shape at the end, starting to fall apart not only physically but his memory wasn't working so well either. But I selfishly wanted him to make it until Charlie was born. I wanted him to be able to meet his first great-grandchild. I miss him a lot...

I also got my hair chopped! Six inches cut off and copper tones added in for fun. I wanted a change and I really like it! So glad I have a great hairstylist who can help me with these decisions! :)

Anyway, what's an Easter post without pictures of little Charlie in her Easter best???

Hoppy Easter my Peeps! :)
