Easter Egg Surprise
On Friday night I drove home in the snow! It is crazy! Seeing snow 2 days before Easter. I was wondering if I was going to have to storm the attic to find some winter clothes for Anna Beth to wear to the Easter Egg hunt the next day.
I did manage to find clothes for her to wear to the egg hunt but they were too small so her little legs just froze between her boots and her pants leg. She kept sticking her hands into our coats to try and stay warm. She just looked miserable until she realized she could pick up those Easter eggs! She smiled so big and charged ahead with her egg mission in mind. She picked up eggs and was tossing them into her basket so fast that they would fly out the other side. Brian had to walk behind her picking up the eggs that missed their intended target.
After the egg hunt we moved on to the inflatable rides. She was bound and determinded to go up a giant inflatable slide. She climbed up almost half way, looked back and tumbled down. Brian had to help her get to the top because even after her fall she had to go on the big slide. After arriving at the top, she realized that things can be larger than they appear! LOL She took one look and screamed all the way down.
This was also Anna Beth's first year to decorate eggs. This was an interesting process and also very dangerous. We have carpet in our dining room and I was just sure that I was going to end up with bright blue spots on my burber carpet. Anna loved to re-dye the eggs that we already colored. It was not good enough to gently drop them back into the dye. NO! It was like watching Peyton Manning hurling a football half way down the field!
Easter morning arrived and Anna Beth saw her basket sitting beside her bed. The first words out of her mouth was, "Wow". By the time that we had left for church she had had a chocolate breakfast and was doing her best to eat nothing but chocolate all day! I guess it helped her because she made it through Sunday school, church and lunch out before she crashed on the way home. Upon arriving home I managed to change her diaper, undress her and get her in the bed without her ever waking up. As soon as she did wake up at 5:15 that evening she pointed to her chest and said, "Oh, clothes off!"
Another holiday through the eyes of our girl and more memories to tuck away for future giggles and conversations!
