A Coloring We Will Go...
Here are some shots of all the fun. Check out Delaney nursing Baby Elmo. It was just adorable. The last shot is of Emily and Summer back-to-back, fighting over their seats on a toy stool. Neither one would budge...too funny. It looks like Estelle might have been laughing when she took it--she rarely gets a blurry shot!
Beachside Easter Egg Hunt
Saturday morning was a chilly day for the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. Emily must have been prepped at preschool, because Daddy did a trail egg run before the hunt in the living room, and Emily ran around tossing eggs in her basket like a pro! It was great fun, although someone was pretty grumpy until she was allowed free reign in the bounce house. Then she wouldn't get out! Check out the size of the neighborhood Easter Bunny! He's over 6 feet tall, wears sandals, and can't hop...but he's a really good sport. Although, one little toddler screamed every time she saw him!
And here are some other shots of Emily's girlfriends. Delaney made the local newspaper--how exciting!! Delaney's baby brother Dylan is a year old (and can already climb up a slide, yikes!). Cousins Kristy and Tony and big sister Regan welcomed baby Connor a month ago. And sister-in-Law Tracey is due to have her baby on May 1st!
Easter ended with a nice dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Lee's, where Emily peed twice on the potty! We're wearing big girl Dora and purple underpants instead of a diaper, although we did have one accident and peed in Grandma's shoes (which we always wear when at Grandma's). Grandma was a real trooper about it. We had an Easter egg hunt in Grandma's living room, which was great fun (Uncle Dave and Aunt Jackie hid the eggs).
Sadly, Mommy took lousy photos and forgot them at Grandma's. We'll post them tomorrow night, sorry. I did get a good one of the incredible eggs Jackie hand painted for each of us. The photo doesn't do them justice--they're gorgeous! They say (from left to right) "Emily" (purple), "Kevin" (golf), and "Caroline" (pretty designs). Thanks, Aunt Jackie, you ROCK!!
Thanks to everyone who sent Easter cards--Emily especially loved the silly, online ones. Great fun! Oh, so you think we didn't a real good closeup of Emily? Ok then, take a look at this one!! Thanks, Miss Estelle, for your great photography work!
Take care,
Caroline
