Happy Easter!!!




I hope everyone has a blessed Easter! Even though Lily doesn't fully understand the concept of the Easter Bunny and she really doesn't care that much about him, she took the time to write him a note letting him know where she put her basket. This morning, she was thrilled that he answered her note, found the basket, and left candy in it for her. Lily's concepts of Easter are about Jesus, egghunts, and candy. The bunny is an afterthought, but a good afterthought.




Here are a couple of her in her Easter dress.




Love to you all,

This is the BEST day ever!!!


We have been enjoying Spring Break this week with just some fun at home, lots of games, playing with some neighborhood friends, lunch and a movie with mom and big sister, Katy, tae kwon do, sleeping in, and then today...the BEST day EVER!!!

Lily had a date with Aunt Amy, Amy's friend, Melissa, and her two children, Sage and Seth. Dates with Amy are always fun, so she jumped out of bed at 8:00, did her hair and teeth on her own with no prompting from me, then raced to her room to pick out an outfit. The day began with breakfast at McDonald's at 8:30, then an Easter Egg Hunt at 10:00, the park at 11:00, Amy's friend, Joanne's was next at 12, so they could decorate Easter cookies.
While they were gone, I slipped off to Macy's with a gift card left over from Christmas and a 40% sale on Easter dresses, then off to Marshall's for shoes, and CVS for bunny stuff.
Lily and Amy be-bopped in the door at about 2:00, loaded to the gills with candy, cookies, and toys. Needless to say, Lily has been quite content tonight and is so tired, she can hardly move. Tomorrow, I will try to get some pictures in her Easter dress before church and Grandma's.

Happy Easter!!!
