ok. i know you are all just dying to hear how our
easter was. this was the first year
zoe could walk to the eggs at the egg hunts.
saturday morning we had our church egg hunt... at a brisk 42 degrees, she had to wear a sweater over her bubble suit and sweats under it. yes- the cute bubble suit that i spent 2 hours making was basically covered up to keep her from becoming a
popsicle. but, she had fun putting eggs in her basket.
that evening, we dyed eggs. she loved doing this too. she would drop the eggs from about 5 inches in the air, into the cup of dye and it would splash all over the table. (we are going to buy color safe bleach after her nap in hopes that the dye comes out of her egg dying clothes.)
the next morning, we woke up to see what the bunny left. and to
everyone's surprise, he left a chocolate bunny (what bunny doesn't leave a chocolate bunny?) well, our child is very maternal. instead of eating the rabbit, she pointed out his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. then she proceeded to take the bunny, place him in the baby stroller, and push him around the den. she referred to the bunny as "baby" for the rest of the morning. she still has not eaten the ears!
ok, so we are off to church... in the nice smocked dress and bonnet i made (spent hours on). she of course wore tights under it and a sweater over it so no one got to see the cute little smocked sleeves. after a few pictures, my mom gives her a RED jelly bean and she drooled red jelly bean juice on the white sweater. yeah for
zoe, now her sweater is ruined and service hasn't even started. thanks mom! oh well- the joys of having a cute little girl on
easter sunday with a mouth full of jelly beans. by the way, did i mention i wore a white suit and was holding her at the time she drooled? oh yeah, it got all over my pants too! she and her cousin were sweet in their outfits though.
after church, we had lunch at
nana and
gps (my parents). they were able to hunt for more eggs. it was quite a show. we finished watching the masters (i.e. took a cat nap) and then came home. i guess this weekend wore her out!
