The 3 Days of Easter!

We got to celebrate Easter many days. Here's a look at our fun.

Friday, March 29th, Madelyn had off school and I had off work so we got to attend a fun Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Beth's! It was such a beautiful day!  Madelyn had fun playing with Connor and Scarlett, her new neighborhood friend!

Madelyn's new way to go down the slide.

 Saturday, March 30th we went to The Egg Thing at church. It was awesome.  They had crafts, snacks and an Easter egg hunt with 3,000 eggs! Madelyn's friends, Eliza and Tommy came with us which was so much fun! Juliana and Connor were also there. It was the first year, and I hope they do it again!

Some face!

Having fun at the playground.

All smiles!
Sunday, March 31st was Easter!  The Easter bunny hid 30 eggs with fun items like coins, stickers, socks, cars, bracelets, necklaces and playdoh.  When Madelyn woke up, she followed the eggs down the stairs and around the house. We had hoped she'd find her Easter basket, but she got distracted when she found herself in the kitchen and realized she was hungry.  We had a nice family breakfast with bunny pancakes that ended up looking more like mickey mouse but they were still fun.  Then we went to church with Grandma, Aunt Beth, Uncle Joe, Juliana and Connor. (Grandpa was still in Colorado skiing.)  We had a nice potluck dinner at Beth & Joe's. We brought the Beef Roast which turned out pretty good!

The basket that took days to get her interested in.

On the hunt!

Sliding down the stairs!

Loving the egg hunt.


The only thing she took out of her basket all day and they quickly were broken :(

8 Little Monkeys at our House

Madelyn was so excited to have all her friends over to our house for a playdate. In all we had 8 little ones-Madelyn, Connor, Tommy, Eliza, Annabel, Alyssa, Cecilia, and Ava.  It was a lot of fun and the kiddos had a blast. We'll have to do it again. It was nice not to have to chase them around a place.

Madelyn decided to start snack herself by bringing out crackers to share.

Snack got moved to the big table and waffle cut apples were introduced--yum!

Random Photos of Madelyn and her silliness!

Here are some random pictures of Madelyn in all her silliness!

Insisting on eating her applesauce while sitting on the counter! I think to keep away from Leia.

No waffles for you, mommy!

Madelyn and all her waffles!

YUM!


How many water bottles do you need?

What are these mommy? Ear plugs?

She quickly figured out where they went.

Another shot of Madelyn with all her sippy cups!

Mimicking Mommy holding Madelyn's toothbrush in her mouth.

Helping fill the humidifier.
Baby has poopies. Time to wipe her off.

She wiped her for at least 10 minutes. Baby was nice and clean.

Double Trouble stirring up something good.


One of their favorite games--run around the house in circles!

Madelyn decided she wanted to move her table to the family room.

Sneaking Mommy's shake--too bad it was completely frozen.

The lounging way to sit in a highchair.


Madelyn was cold so she put on Mommy's fleece!

Madelyn learned to pull down her pants--now she likes to walk around with them at her ankles.

Reading LOTS of books.

Happy Saint Paddy's Day--trying on Mommy's belt.

The only way I could get it to stay up!

Madelyn has figured out how to open and shut the CD drive.
