Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year!  Of course, it was made extra nice with the addition of Elise and as an added bonus, Grammy was in town also.  And as if all of that wasn’t enough…the weather finally cooperated and we had a beautiful day! 

Both A & E made it through Easter mass pretty uneventfully and were great dining companions at brunch.  Later that day, we opened Easter baskets and had an Easter egg hunt for Ashton, which he loved!  Not sure what he was more excited about…running around the yard finding the eggs or opening them up to find rubber snacks and lizards.  J 



Some of us had already changed out of our Easter clothes.  ;)

Pretty girl!

 

Funny girl!

Sweet Elise

Expressive Elise

Elise is a funny gal!  She makes some seriously hilarious faces - I can't
 wait to hear what's on her mind once she starts talking!  And her eyes...oh my, they are so expressive and full of life.  She'll give you a serious stink eye one second and then flash a crooked smile with an ornery glimmer the next.  The pics below were taken about a month or so ago in the span of about 2 minutes.  She's a trip!  Love her. :)

Easter eggs

This was our first year dying Easter eggs and boy, did Ashton love it!  He started out neatly using the egg ‘dipper’, which maybe lasted one dip into the dye and  afterwards, he dug right in with his hands.  He had smurf-blue hands by the end – I really should have taken a picture!  Of course, we did this the day before Easter and I had visions of little boy blue at mass the next day; but thankfully, it washed off with a little scrubbing.  

Love,

Fun in the Sun

Last month, we went to see Pop and Gigi in Florida before I headed back to work.  It was such a restorative trip and so nice to spend time with loved ones and soak up the sun - especially after such a long winter!  Ashton had a blast at the beach, being outside, playing with J.R. - the dog, and eating chocolate pudding until his hearts content!  Gigi had set up an 'Ashton shelf' in the pantry and he was in heaven!  This was also the first time Pop and Gigi got to meet Elise - needless to say, they were smitten with our sweet little lady.

Jumping waves!

One of my favs!

Happy girl!
