Happy Easter!

Good afternoon, all and most importantly, Happy Easter! What a wonderful Easter I have had! Let me tell you all about it.

Gramma and Uncle Jess came for a visit Friday evening and left this morning. We had a great time. We went to the outlet mall in Williamsburg Saturday morning, out to the Vine for a great lunch at the Vine, and then to the Coralville mall Saturday afternoon. I got in a little playtime at playland. Yippee! We spent most of the afternoon shopping and then went for a yummy dinner at HuHot. I'm not that big of a fan of HuHot, but Gramma and Mama sure are! I was smart and brought along something special to eat. After supper I was pretty sleepy, but talked Gramma and Jess into playing ball with me outside for a while before bed. Boy I love to play outside! (And of course, I get my way pretty easily when Gramma is around--I didn't even have to beg much!)



My Easter basket!

Today the Easter bunny came in full force--several times! When I first woke up, he had left a bag full of pool/sand toys. I had a great time playing with them right away. A little later in the morning, I found a basket that the bunny had left in the basement. There was one for me full of fruit snacks and toys (a bunny, book, truck, ball and glove) and there was also a basket for Baby H 2010. Papa gave me a marshmallow and chocolate bunny this morning. It was sooooooooo good! I never get candy, so Mama was a little worried about how I would behave at church after getting candy first thing in the morning. I surprised her, though.



Yummy chocolate marshmallow bunny!

We went to church after a good bath and Gramma got me dressed in the super hip Easter outfit she got me. I was full of hugs and loves for Mama and Papa. I kept giving them a "family hug" where I pull all of us together so that we touch heads. I gave plenty of kisses during church too. Mama keeps saying that was her favorite part of the day. (She's such a typical hormonal pregnant lady.)



Papa and I. Notice my cute outfit and how Papa coordinated his outfit with mine.

After church we had a great Easter dinner full of ham, hashbrown casserole, salads, rolls, and corn. I ate like a champ and had to go down for a long nap after 'cause of food overload.

After my nap, I awoke to find out that the Easter bunny had come one more time! He had left tons of eggs in the back yard for me. They were full of great things like fruit snacks, fish crackers, and money. I had a blast finding the eggs, picking them up, and putting them in my basket.



Here's my haul! And Mama's Red Lobster gift certificate from the Easter bunny.

After opening all the Easter baskets and finding the eggs, it was time for Papa to go to work. I was sad that he had to go, but we had such a great day together that it was okay.



Just a bit of what the Easter bunny brought us.

I hope you all had as good of an Easter as I had. It was a great Easter, but I sure am looking forward to next Easter when I'll have a brother or sister to run around with me when I look for eggs. I can't wait for this baby to come join our family--an neither can Mama. :-)

Happy Easter and hugs and loves...
