Easter party

Easter Party

Mom's Easter spread. Meredith and Alicia came over for dinner and another Easter egg hunt.  I forgot to mention that the Easter Bunny put stickers on our eggs. 

We had lots of yummy snacking foods. Alicia brought over a veggie and fruit dish. Yummy!

We had Hamburgers on the grill for dinner. 

Here's me trying to sneak over and take a little taste of something before the party started.

Meredith and I played in my room and had lots of fun! She is spending the night with me and having a slumber party. It's sort of my first real girl slumber party too!

Yes, I love love love going on an Easter egg hunt. Meredith and I played forever!

It turns out the Easter Bunny hid some eggs filled with goodies, in our backyard too!

They were really hard to find. Meredith was running and I would follow behind her since she seemed to find them faster.

I think I only got 4 out of the 12 eggs, but I'm pretty happy! I won raisins and animal crackers.

Easter was so much fun this year! I got to celebrate with so many people. I do miss my Rosario side of the family. I hope we can see them soon! Happy Easter Family and Friends!!

Easter Dress

My pretty pink Easter dress was so much fun to wear! My Mom thought we should do a little photo shoot before we head off to church. 

Walking into church with Daddy. He's so handsome in his suite.

Windy day! But I'm ready for my close up!

Shhhhhhh... Quiet time. We're in church now.

This Easter I prayed for all my family and friends to be safe and happy. I especially prayed for my Aunt Julie to get better soon. I was great full for all the wonderful things I have and people in my life. We celebrated lent by sacrificing something like meat on Fridays or gave up something we loved like chocolate, or shopping too much. We also have to be kinder and more patient with one another.

Happy Easter!

Easter morning

Happy Easter!

It's 8:30am and I didn't want to get up. I enjoy my morning sleep. But as soon as my Mom said the Easter Bunny came to our house, I opened my eyes and smiled. 

We started the Easter Egg and Basket hunt.

That silly rabbit hid those eggs in the craziest places! Like on our picture frame over the couch.

We wrote a letter to the Easter Bunny and left him some Carrots before we went to bed and he actually wrote back to me and ate all the carrots! 

As I was finding eggs I thought I saw a basket behind the curtain, but I thought I'd wait until I get all the eggs. So on with the search.

Finally I found my 2 baskets. I got a Mr. Potato Head and a nerf football!

I had a really fun Easter morning! It's time to get dressed for Church. As soon as we get back from church Meredith and Alicia will come over for dinner. More soon!

Coloring Eggs

Late Easter Eve night we colored Easter eggs.  Daddy and Mommy assisted me because I thought we were supposed to "Toss" the egg in the bowl. I found out later that creates a splash and cracks the egg. Oops!

I wrote our names on each egg including Charlie"s. I think I'll eat his.

My Mom and Dad are goofy! 

Here are the first completed eggs drying in the egg carton. 

Mom says she'll put them in the fridge and they will be ready for morning.

Gearing up for Easter 2012

Easter Easter! 

We love Easter! 

To celebrate, I decided to color this worksheet. Not to brag but, this is my first time I stayed in the lines. I think it looks great, don't you?

We stopped over my Grandma and Grandpa's house the weekend before Easter to celebrate a little early. 

So guess what the Easter bunny sent me?

A new car!! Also, a helmet for safety. That silly rabbit also hid a basket and some eggs around the family room.  That was so much fun! I just can't get enough egg hunting!

Driving a car was a little more difficult then I thought. I still have to learn how to steer the wheel and know when to let up on the gas pedal.  I crashed a few times.

Monday we made Easter cookies. Mom said we can take a picture of the first 3 we decorate and then eat them! So we did! and they were delicious! We brought some over to Aunt Julie's on Wednesday and Aunt Carolyn stopped by Saturday for a bite of one too. MMMMM! Yummy!

We headed to Aunt Julie's for 3 days on Wednesday. We didn't get any pictures, but we celebrated Easter with Noah and brought him a little Easter basket. Noah also got me a basket with a Momma & baby duck, and stamps!

Aunt Julie had her 3rd round of Chemo the day we arrived. She was much more fatigued and sick feeling from this one. We think it will hit her a little bit more each time. Only 5 more treatments to go! We'll be praying for you Aunt Julie! Thank you for letting us stay with you. Once again, Noah and I had so much fun! I especially loved playing outside on the slides. 

Easter Eggstravaganza & Egg Hunt

The Annual Easter Eggstravaganza & Egg Hunt was a blast! It was held at our church by the Mom and Tots club. . My Friends Ashlee & Brianna joined us as well. We enjoyed lots of activities such as;

Coloring an Easter picture. I stayed in the lines!

Here I stuffed a bag full of gold fish to make a carrot. MMM!!

Ball toss for a treat......

The bunny hop dance. I did pretty good for my first line dance!..........

Face painting.........

I got a blue butterfly...

Ashlee got her face painted too. A pink butterfly...

After we completed all the activities, we showed our punched ticket to a lady to earn our trip down to see

the Easter Bunny. Mom and Dad were so proud of me for running over to him and giving him a GREAT big hug. I was not afraid to sit on his lap at all. In fact, I didn't want to get up and share his time. It's the first time I was not afraid to see this large creature. Now only Santa and I have to work out our differences still. We'll see...

After seeing the Big Bunny, we went on an egg hunt in the gym. They had thousands of eggs thrown all over the floor to gather in our bag. We were only allowed 6. 

Ashlee, Brianna & I are posing with our eggs. Brianna thought they were tasty. Yuck! We don't eat them!

That was it! What a great day! I can't wait for Easter! Happy Spring!
