Easter

We had a fun low-key Easter. 

The Friday before, my buddy Lindsay hosted a fun little Easter playdate. Part of it was an Easter egg hunt. I was surprised at how little Ashlyn cared about finding the Easter eggs! Everyone was supposed to find 12 and she was done after like 8, so I had to cajole her into finding a few more. I think it was mostly because around egg # 8 she discovered that the eggs had candy inside. No surprise there!

Saturday we did have Easter baskets but somehow I have no pictures from that. My family always did baskets on Saturday and I like that idea and hope to do that same thing. I also did the same thing my family did as I was growing up, and hid a bunch of jelly beans and robin eggs all over the living room and kitchen for Ashlyn to find. Again, not that interested after the first few because she just wanted to eat them. Maybe next year there will be more thrill in "the hunt?" Oh well, it was fun anyway. She got some candy and a little stuffed chicken and a coloring book, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, etc. in her basket. Collin got some Adam Sandler movies and candy, and I got Mini Eggs since I am the one who filled the Easter baskets. :)


Easter Sunday was fun too, I ended up getting Ash an Easter dress at the last second because I found one I loved at Target. (surprise surprise) She looked adorable as always. I love that she is getting old enough to at least stand in one place for a minute for a picture....even if not smiling.....

Of course by the time we got to picture with Mommy time she was digging into the bribe we had offered for getting pictures taken.... a package of Peeps. Happy Easter!
