Reading Books, Yesterday and Today

Easter Part II

M had to wear her hat to the playground yesterday...good thing because it was 85 and sunny. 

She had fun on the swings with Ainsley and Daddy. Lots of giggles. 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We woke up this morning to gifts--books, coloring books, a stuffed animal and sidewalk chalk. After church, Daddy and M colored outdoors while Mommy hid eggs in the condo. 

Daddy, Uncle Andy and I all watched with delight as M found and opened Easter eggs. 

Stickers, graham crackers, and goldfish crackers were inside. 

In the afternoon, we went to the park. Those photos will be posted tomorrow. Love and good night to all! 

What Am I Doing Here?

We went to an Easter egg hunt today at the University of Denver. "Hunt" is a bit of a misnomer, as the goodies were all in plain site. M did a great job waiting until the the signal was given to start, much better than most of the crying kids in the 0-2 age group. Once it was go time, she was a bit hesitant, picking up a train and then a bunny (after some encouragement from Mom and Dad). She ended up with three stuff animals, forgoing the books and moving too slow for the balls. 

A nice little girl who had favored the hats and ended up with one in each color shared with M so we also came home with this: 

We skipped the adult "hunt" which was for DU gear--that was over in about 15 seconds, they were worse than the kiddos! Tomorrow we will hide eggs in the condo for M to find. More photos to come!

Early Easter Basket

A few days ago, Great Grandma and Grandpa sent M a fabulous Easter book. We got the mail after M was asleep so we decided to stash it away so that there would be a gift from her great-grandparents in her Easter basket. 

Today, Aunt Diane and Bobby's Easter gift came when M went to get the mail and we HAD to open it. Much to M's delight, the package contained a turtle ("Turtle! Zoom zoom!" said M). 

And also a dog house with five puppies. She was excited. 

 

All of the dogs got kisses, and after we put the camera away she put them to bed. She laid them down, covered them with a blanket, and M even gave one of the puppies a pacifier. Then "shhh" she said to me and Daddy. 

 

I suggested that the dogs needed bottles, and M responded by getting her bottle and saying "night night." I guess all will wake up in the morning well-rested and ready to play. 

Thanks Aunt Diane and Bobby--you really made her night.
