Easter 2010

We had another great holiday. Dave has managed to be home for most of the major holidays this year, which is always wonderful. We're all slowly settling into life with a newborn, and before we know it, Max won't be so new. Sophie is still a great big sister and Max is so sweet. Sometimes I'm just astounded at how lucky I am to have such a beautiful and happy family.

The Easter Bunny picked up most of the kids gifts before Max was born in anticipation of being busy and tired closer to the actual day. Max got several things he needed and a couple toys. The bath towels, wash cloths and pacifiers were needed. The toys are pretty much the only ones he has that aren't hand me downs. Plus he got several books, since we're such big readers, and the original Toy Story movie.

Here's Sophie basket. The Easter Bunny went with a fairy theme. Daddy helped the Easter Bunny choose a fairy book and Mommy chose fairy wings. We were both disappointed when she seemed more excited about the Hershey's Kisses. Oh well. She also got bubble bath, bubbles, and some more books. She is really loving the Bearenstein Bears books, and Target has started carrying the originals.


We were attempting to get Sophie to smile at the camera. At this point having her look at the camera would have been sufficient.


She is such a little sour puss sometimes. This is by far the best photo, and you can't tell, but Dave and my Dad are looking at Sophie. In. Every. Photo.


Here she is waiting for the Egg Hunt to start. It rained off and on all day, so we had to fit the Hunt in between rain showers. We had it in our backyard.She was chomping at the bit by the time it started.Nope, no eggs there. The Easter Bunny did too good a job hiding eggs. Apparently the Easter Bunny didn't have realistic expectations of the abilities of a two and a half year old at finding eggs. We ended up tossing some out into the middle of the yard after the Easter Bunny realized Sophie was too short to see some of the eggs.

Luckily Sophie had some help with her Hunt.


Happy Easter!
