Easter 2011

What a busy Easter week we've had. In addition to church functions (apparently she met a donkey on Palm Sunday) Audrey had 4 egg hunts this year.

The first was at her school. Ms. Tracy gave them Easter baskets and foam stickers to decorate them with.

Then the hunt was on. The 2 and 3 year olds combined classes for the hunt.


Notice the sour look on her face. Kylie was trying to hold her hand but Audrey wanted no part of it. So after this pic was taken I stuck her hiney in time out.


After school I took her to the Prosper Moms Easter egg hunt and party at the newest park in town.

She enjoyed the new park a lot.


Her cousin Callie enjoyed being outside.

But then it was time to find the eggs.


She made quite the haul.


This weekend we went to Ella's 3rd birthday party. It was a painting party but Mieke decided to host an egg hunt there, as well.

There were some bigger kids there so she only got 3 eggs, one of which a super sweet little boy named Adam gave to her. What a gentleman : )

And then it was off to another moms group's Easter egg hunt and pot luck dinner in Providence Village. The food was really good and the kids loved finding eggs and playing on the playground afterward. It's so nice of them to always invite us, even though we don't live in Providence.


Once again, it was go time.

Audrey took off in a different direction from the other kids and her gamble paid off. I guess after 4 hunts she's a pro. Her basket was filled to the top. Her Daddy's co workers will have lots of jelly beans this week, thanks to her egg finding skills.


When she would find an egg she'd turn around and show it to me and her Daddy, whom she now calls 'Honey'. "Honey, I need a drink. Honey, I wanna take a bath." It's pretty cute. But not as cute as watching her twirl in front of the mirror in her Easter dress.

She was all over the playground but what she liked the most was Barker helping her on the monkey bars....over and over and over again.





No need to work out his arms at the gym today.


Oh, and the Easter bunny made her a happy girl this year.
He left some of her favorite things.

When she awoke to her Easter basket she said "Tinkerbell!" Then she noticed the dress and skirt and said "My favorite clothes!" And when she got to the princess and Tink pajamas she exclaimed "My favorite princesses! I love my Easter basket! I can't wait to show my Daddy!"

She immediately asked to put her skirt on, then took Tinkerbell and crawled in bed with her Daddy.
That's the best way to start a day : )
