Easter '09

We had a great Easter here in Madison with just the 3 of us (oh, and Porter). We went to church, and Emma was quiet through most of the service. Before her morning nap Emma got her Easter basket, which was filled with grass and chocolate. She pulled out all the grass and chomped down on some jelly beans and M&Ms.

After her morning nap we had our brunch. Emma did not care for deviled eggs or ham, potato, spinach crepes. But she loved the fruit crepes! Then we went out back for an Easter egg hunt. The eggs were pretty much in plain sight on the deck and in the yard, and Emma had to be prodded to "find" each one. She really liked shaking them up! Once we showed her that there was candy inside she stopped looking and worked on trying to open them up. We all enjoyed the sunshine and then it was nap time again.

The crowning moments of Easter were 1) the cookies (Magic in the Middles- chocolate and peanut butter) with ice cream. Yummy! 2) Emma knows what the word "candy" means. This might not be so good. :) We ration the candy to her. She might still be eating her candy in a month! 3) Watching her shake the eggs. It really made me all warm and fuzzy inside as we video taped her doing these Easter things. It all goes by too quickly!
