Easter

We had a pretty fun-filled Easter around here. Sycely and I baked sugar cookies for church on Friday afternoon and baked chocolate chip ones on Saturday. Ssaturday morning we went to a Creative Activities Fair and then had lunch at Sycely's favorite restaurant, Red Robin (where she felt it appropriate to pray to tell God thank you for giving us a good parking spot). After nap on Saturday afternoon we dyed eggs.

Sunday morning started off with egg-shaped pancakes and sausage for breakfast. We went to our earliest church service then came home to put Ella down for her nap.

Sycely opened her Easter Basket and made the slushy trek outside to hunt for eggs. She enjoyed playing with her new Easter treats (some puzzles, a new Silvermist fairy dress, and her fave-a little pet shot animal). We helped Ella open her basket when she woke up from her nap.

Once everyone had enjoyed a restful afternoon nap, we packed up and headed to Nanny and Papas for Easter dinner. Sycely did a little (plastic) egg hunting around their house and got some more Easter treats. Nanny gave Ella a super fabulous goat puppet the sings the Lonely Goatherd song from Sound of Music in a ridiculous munchkin type voice. Mommy is gathering signatures to petition this toy permanently reside at Nanny's house! Or at least make prank calls to her number at 2am. Dinner was delicious, as always. Another day to remember and celebrate all the blessings God has bestowed upon us- and nothing says Halleluja like jelly beans and Cadbury Eggs!
