Once Upon A Time on Easter

We had a pretty laid back Easter this year, probably our last as Ellie will know what candy and chocolate and hidden eggs are next year (she already knows what "cookie" is, as we discovered today). So, we took advantage of it by dying some eggs and having some people over.

Ellie "helped" us dye the eggs, it was a lot of fun. She really enjoyed it once she figured out what all the glasses were for (not drinking). She made a mess, of course, but it was worth it.

Later that afternoon a couple friends and their two dogs came over, and Aunt S. joined us as well. It was a really nice day out, our first of the season really, so we enjoyed hanging out in the yard all afternoon.

Hmmm, no pictures of the adults. We just hung out on the porch and ate too many chocolate bunny brownies (made by Aunt S. Aren't they cute?). It was nice.

Fun With Yogurt

It's been awhile so I thought I'd just let you all see how much fun yogurt can be with a 15 month old before I get to the good stuff - Ellie's first plane trip. That's a longer one that will take me a bit to get together.

Yum.

Helping Hands

Ellie has been helping out around the house lately. Either that or the shoe gnomes are back.

Good thing she's so cute, especially in her new suit.

Thank you Grandma C!
