Easter

So this year Easter meant a lot more to Lily. She kept telling me for weeks that the easter bunny was going to bring her lots of prizes and treats, so when it really happened she was thrilled. She loved the Easter Egg Hunt at the park and thought the pig pinata was sooo cute!
She was very happy with her loot!
Last year she picked up about 2 eggs and was content to play with those, but this year she kept going until she got all 12 eggs!

What's with the cheesy smile? But I LOVE it!

Then we had a little mini hunt in our basement for more eggs that the bunny left for her.

After waking up that morning, the first thing she found in her basket was a chocolate bunny sucker, which she opened herself and just started going to town with it! Chocolate for Breakfast, only on Easter!

And very proudly holding up her tiny ponies that she got. I think I've mentioned this before, but anything tiny, pink, and cute Lily is all about it. She saw these at Target the week before and carried them around the whole time. While I usually distract her at the checkout and put her finds back, this time I snuck it into our bag and was so glad I did because I think this might have been her most favorite thing in her basket. But in true Lily fashion, not long after opening it she had found them a mommy pony and distributed some yogos for them to eat. At church Lily was still getting over a cough/cold so I opted to not expose the other kids in Nursery. She went to primary with me which lasted about 10 minutes, and then we went home because my team teacher was doing the lesson and Lily and I both enjoyed a great Easter nap! Chad shared his lesson for the deacon boys about the atonement later so I was able to enjoy that reminder of how blessed we truly are! Overall a great Easter for us here and can't wait to put another baby in bunny ears next year!
