We celebrated Easter with Lexie's cousins. I didn't get a chance to post the pictures because of Lexie's surgery. This was her first real Easter where she got to color eggs. Lexie loved using all of the colors.
Then she used the egg spinner to color her egg.
Little Miss Independent wanted to do everything by herself.
She liked swirling the water and having it splash all over the table.
When her eggs were dry, she decorated them with stickers.
Then she wanted to dye more eggs. Any egg that Lexie could get her hands on, she put them into a cup of dye. Some cups were overflowing with eggs.
Lexie liked the yellow the best! She always asks for yellow eggs.
Then it was time for the egg hunt. Lexie got to go first because she was the youngest. She took a long time to pick up any eggs.
Everytime she found an egg, she had to shake it and open it. And then she wanted to play with the money that was inside.
And Lexie was very picky about which eggs she took. She would walk by eggs until she found an egg that was the color that she liked and then she would pick it up.
In the end, she collected 13 eggs. Lexie found the golden egg with Aunty Terry's help.
If Lexie only had one egg, she would have been happy. She still doesn't understand the goal is to find the most eggs. But the main thing is that she had fun!
Yum!! This frosting tastes delicious.
Oh, I'm supposed to put it on my cake, not eat it!
I'll take some sprinkles.
Most of the time was spent eating M&M's. She ate more candy than she actually put on her cake.
I'm full now! I'll save my cake for later.
Lexie got a present from Nana. She got it a few days before Easter and even though I had it on a table, Lexie would get it down and kept asking to open it.
She got her favorite kimi balls and some stuffed animals. She loves the bunny dog because it sings. Lexie didn't care for the marshmallow bunnies, which is quite all right with me because I love them!!
Taryn also dropped by on Easter to give Lexie this cute little bunny. It unzips into a bag.
What a fun day it looks like Lexie (and you) had! She is just so darling...

ReplyDeleteHey - would you mind checking out www.sparrow-fund.org? My husband and I along with a board of directors launched this nonprofit in April and we're trying to get the word out that we're here. We have sent letters to agencies but feel like blogs are probably the best way to get the info out to waiting families. If you might be willing do write a post about it, would you please let me know? Thanks!
