Happy Easter!

Julia came to work with me one day last week to see the Easter Bunny. We had to work hard to get her to look up at the camera because she wanted to touch the furry hands. She wore her bunny ears from Grandma Marlene, naturally.

Julia's first Easter has come and gone. I can't believe she's almost six months old! She looks so big in her pretty Easter dress. Our morning began with the discovery of a loaded basket. That Easter Bunny is so smart, he knew to bring baby food and spoons (since we'll be starting that soon) instead of candy! She also got a Disney movie - a tradition that the "Easter Bunny" started with me, we always got a Disney classic in our basket. She got an Easter Little Critter book (which I also loved as a kid), and a Thumper book, being that her one of her nicknames is Thumper. She likes to lift her legs high in the air when she's laying on her back and then thump them on the floor (or bed, whatever), hard! It's funny to be in the basement and hear her do it, or hear it on the baby moniter when she's in bed! Anywho... she grabbed the basket as soon I set her on the couch with it, so I think she liked it!

Posing with Daddy, ready for church, bonnet and all. The two loves of my life, looking gorgeous.

Here we are at church, our little family.

She loves Easter eggs!

Isn't that dress incredible?! We found it at Burlington. White flower eyelet, and not too much poof. The flowers at her chest have curly ribbons hanging down, which she loved to play with!

Her first Mehok Easter egg hunt - a tradition over there. You should have seen Daddy running with her. It was freezing of course, but they grabbed 'em up quick! "Julia" found the most eggs, totaling $27.00. Impressive, I know. I don't suppose that could be due, in part, to Daddy's competitive nature?

Julia found the golden egg, worth $10. It was the one egg she found without help from Daddy. Of course, that could be because it was in Grandma Marlene's pocket!
