Easter was started off on the perfect note...Lilly slept in!!! After getting up we all ventured out to the living room to discover that the Easter bunny stopped by while we were sleeping. He left a basket full of goodies and a bunch of eggs filled with yummies to hide for Lilly. When she saw the basket her face lit up and she looked at Ziff then at me and said "WOW". She very delicately started going through to see what she got and wanted to start playing right away. So she played with play dough while I started breakfast. We had a fun morning playing and laughing. While Lilly was napping I started making dinner. It was my first real Easter dinner but it turned out pretty good. I made glazed ham, scalloped potatoes, asparagus, and deviled eggs.
After we finished eating we decided to go egg hunting. Lilly was so excited. While I was hiding the eggs she was standing by the door yelling to me that she wanted her shoes on. When we opened the screen door she went running and started filling her basket. Once all the eggs were safely in her basket she came inside to check out what was in the eggs. Ziff helped her sort and pile all of her goodies so she could see everything she got.
We shared a few pieces of candy and decorated ourselves with sparkly princess stickers and then it was time to try out our sidewalk chalk. Lilly had lots of fun with it, but was a little annoyed that her hands kept getting dirty. Thankfully the word wash is one she knows well, so she just kept breaking to "wash" her hands.
After hunting and coloring the patio you would think that one might be tired, but oh no, Lilly had plenty more energy. She was ready to play play dough again and she played and played until finally it was bed time. Alas we had to explain that all of these fun things will still be here to play with when she wakes up. She was not very happy or receptive of this, but guessing by all the smiles and giggles today, I am going to say she had a pretty good day and will forgive us for making her go to bed. It was indeed a happy Easter!
