Happy Easter

I hope that you had a blessed Easter and were able to celebrate with all the people you love. If you could please say a prayer for my 99 year old Grandma, she's in the hospital and can use some prayer.

We started our festivities last week by coloring some eggs, it is so much fun to do this. I really do enjoy the process of coloring eggs, we all had a good time.






We went to a festival that was being held in my dad's subdivision, the Easter bunny was there, jumps, cotton candy, ballons, face painting and of course a huge Easter egg hunt.







The Easter bunny delivering her basket was a tremendous success, she was so surprised. She and I were in the kitchen when the doorbell rang and when we opened the door, there was her basket!!! I wish I would have been able to capture the true wonderment on her face, she sure ran out and grabbed it before he could come take it back.



We then went and had an absolutely wonderful celebration. We (the three of us and my dad) went over to my brother-in-laws house. Mikayla had an absolute blast with her cousins. The little stinker and her cousin were dunking their heads in the stream (connected to their pool) and blowing bubbles in it LOL







Much food was prepared!!!


Then a wondeful egg hunt took place :)



My two favorite men!!!



Such special times!!!!!

Momma, we have got to go buy one of these!

We went to see a brand new baby this weekend and his mommy graciously let Mikayla hold him for awhile. She was incredibly fascinated with him and didn't want to take turns holding him. So she was talking to me while holding him, saying "we don't have one of these at home" and with all of the seriousness a 3 year old can muster, she has never been so serious in all of her life, she tells me "Momma, we have got to go buy one of these!"

It was all we could do to not laugh and let her know what she said was SOOOO funny but her request was incredibly heartfelt. She was so serious though and so ready to go to the store and pick one up. If only it were that easy. She really loves Baby Tyler though. She held him, she kissed him, she rubbed him, she sang to him - her ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I absolutely adore when she sings that song, it melts my heart.

It was a great visit!!! Although nothing makes my baby look bigger than holding a baby... wow!!! She's gigantic, was she ever that little!!!
