All her presents spread-out (Josh trying to steal the chocolate bunny)--how cute is the Bunny-Potato-Head?!
Doodling-Away
Checking her basket after the Egg Hunt
Break-time with Gramma-Bunny... I mean Gramma Susan
After she had dumped all of her eggs out... Great Gramma Harriett trying to help "pick-up, put-away"
4 Generations... laughing and smiling (Jade is really getting the hang of saying 'cheese!')
And last but certainly not least, a beautiful little "bunny"
This was the first Easter that Jade really could understand--and it was so much fun! Jade was really good about everything (considering how much we did and how many places we went to)... not a single meltdown :) We opened the Easter Basket from us at home before going out for the day--lots of toys, and I think she liked all of them except maybe the Cookie Monster and Elmo in an egg... maybe she'll grow into it.
After a bath and dressing-up, we went to church with Gramma Susan and Great Grandparents Harriett and Ben; a group did a "dramatic display" as the pastor called it that I thought was really great. Jade got to go to the nursery during service, and when Josh picked her up one of the gals said "she's always smiling and happy!" That she is...
Next we did a quick Easter-Egg Hunt and opened Gramma Susan's basket o' goodies. Jade LOVED the egg hunt, and we are still doing them at home pretty much every night! She also got the cute bunny ears from Gramma Susan she is wearing above--both Jade and Susan ;)
Then it was off to Gramma Diana's and Great-Aunt Debbie's for a late brunch. Lots of yummy food, a cute easter "bag" with more goodies (and of course--CLOTHES) from Gramma Diana... and 2 more big egg hunts! She got the eggs in all the small places no one else could fit into, and broke into a few candy-filled eggs before Mom got them all from her... atta girl. No pics from that get-together, as there was so much going on with so many people we completely spaced it.
Finally, it was off to home--but not without a call to Grammie and Papa in Houston to wish each other a Happy Easter and say "I loll you". Waiting at home was yet ANOTHER easter basket from Ivana--she especially liked the "blowy" (pinwheel). And despite not really having a nap because she couldn't sleep with all the candy in her system, it was a pretty great day :) Thanks to all our friends and family for helping and sharing and loving to make such a great Easter!!!
