We had an awesome Easter, but I must say I am glad it's over! It felt like Christmas all over again. No joke.
Friday you spent the day with Grandma Shelly while daddy and I were at work. She had you ALL day. No really. She didn't bring you home until 8:30 p.m - you didn't have one nap either. Then we had to hurry and head out the door to Grandma Annette's where we were sleeping over.
I felt so bad for you. You didn't sleep all day with G-ma Shelly, your nose was running, you didn't feel 100% and had to breathe out of your mouth, then we slept at an unfamiliar place. G-ma Annette gave us her big comfy bed to sleep on which you fell off of, it was the saddest thing ever and everyone showed real concern for you. I felt horrible!! Even though you had a comfy bed made you wanted to sleep between your father and I and none of us got any good sleep. Morning came WAY too soon. You and daddy went out in the living room to get coffee and start getting ready for the Easter Egg Hunt and um, you fell asleep so soundly on the couch. I didn't want to wake you up but everyone insisted and that you'd be sad if you missed the Easter egg Hunt. I was like "eh!" but woke you up since I was outnumbered on letting you sleep.
We waited to wake you up until we really had to. We got you dressed in a darling pink and brown Puma track outfit, with a brown puffy vest. Aunt Jenn did your hair so cute and we were out the door. Look how stinkin' cute you are.
We arrived at the Riverton City Park where the Easter Egg Hunt was taking place. They already had the candy laid out on the grass and roped off areas for each age group. You wanted to go get the candy first, but we had to wait for about 30 minutes. I was just as impatient as you!! They had an Easter bunny while we were there, so your dad went and stood in line then when he got closer we cut in. You were so adorable. You were just staring at the bunny and then you grabbed his ear. I got a kick out of watching you. Other kids much older were screaming and kicking, it was quite funny to me!!
Then the siren went off and the "hunt" was on. Your dad took you out on the grass and kind of huddled over an area so you could put stuff in your basket. You did quite well kiddo. You got a baseball cap, a foam giraffe mask thingy, some rubber duck/bunny thing, plastic eggs full of candy and just candy. Wow!! A lot of stuff that's for sure. Then it was over that quick. We got in the car and got out of the crazy/busy parking lot as fast as we could. Then we went to Wal-mart to get our Easter cards and we decided to buy a Wii with my birthday money - Woo hoo!!!!
We went back to Grandma Annette's house played for a bit. You and Sienna play pretty good together and you are getting to be a pro at telling her "no!" like she tells you. It happens in every cousin relationship - the oldest one likes to dominate and claim every toy as theirs and not share. I am sure you will do the same and it's completely normal. Well it got old to you and you decided that you were tired so you went in Grandma Annette's bed and passed out!!! Dad and I decided to take a break while you slept and went and got a drink. Then we came back, you woke up just in time and we had a yummy ham lunch.
After lunch we headed home and it felt SO nice to be home. We just relaxed for a few then we dyed Easter eggs!! We were super excited to be dying Easter eggs with you for the first time. I was getting the cups of warm water ready and bringing them to the table while daddy put the color tablets and vinegar in the water. We sat down to dye the eggs and just then you spit out an orange color tablet!! Ha ha ha!! You must have grabbed it while dad was busy doing the rest. We laughed and you had orange dye all over you then, then blue and every other color. You were more into playing with the water and tasting it. Eeewww!!!
After we dyed the eggs we went and relaxed in the living room then when the eggs were dry you added stickers to them. They were the cutest eggs I've ever seen. Then we went to bed since we had a long couple of days.
Sunday morning we woke up and you were in a terrific mood as always. We went downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny had left you. You went straight to the Dora movie and then into the candy but wasn't really into it, but I will tell you that the Easter Bunny spoiled you!! You got eggs filled with money for your piggy bank, fruit snacks, goldfish crackers and m&m's. You also got another movie - Planet 51, 5 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, a pair of shorts, colored pencils, 5 books, 2 windmills and a new sippy cup.
Then we had Easter eggs for breakfast - you love them! Then I got cleaning and ready to bake a cake for dinner at Grandma Shelly's house. Grandpa Frank stopped by to say hi while he was out and about on his bike. Your poor nose was super runny - we think it's allergies, but you and Grandma played for a bit and you even sat on his motorcycle and honked the horn!!
Then you and daddy showered while I finished my cake and we headed to Grandma Shelly's house. We opened your gifts as soon as we got there and you got S.P.O.I.L.E.D. Seriously it was like Christmas all over again. You got a ball, a stuffed dog, Dora sneakers, pink sandals, a stuffed bunny with your name embroidered on the ear, coloring books, a Mickey Mouse movie, about 10 outfits, Easter eggs full of candy and money, a Dora book and I think that's all I can remember for now, but no doubt you got too much stuff.
After presents we went outside and played in the sun and we had changed you out of your dress into your new comfy clothes and you and Dad walked around the yard, visited the doggies in their kennel and explored Grandma's serene backyard. Then we had chocolate cake for dessert. I have to say it wasn't my best - a little dry, but the frosting was to die for. Anyway, after that you had a bath - Grandma Donker's orders!! So I watched you play in the tub, we got your dressed and pretty much left.
We got home and played the Wii and hung out. Then it was bed time and we all had a rough night. I think you were too wound up from the crazy weekend plus you couldn't breathe out of your nose and I think that was tickin' you off. Poor girl!!
Well thank you for the most wonderful Easter yet!! You are SO much fun!!
I am so proud of the happy, smiley girl that you are. Thank you!!
Love you!
Love,
mommy
