Easter


Stella enjoyed Easter so much this year. Last year, we had a basket for her, for my benefit I'm pretty sure, and this year - it was much different. During Breakfast, Andy told her that the Easter Bunny comes to peoples houses and poops out candy...yes, I know...I should have explained, but he did, and Stella was excited. We got her down from her high chair, and told her to go see if he had come to our house, and she was off. She found the first one, and of course wanted to open it right away. Once she saw that there truly was candy inside, she found all 11 others so quickly. The Easter bunny obviously thought Stella would be easier to fool than she was. Next year, that bunny better hide things a little better. I enjoyed watching Stella run around the house with such excitement. After finding each egg, she would hold it up to Andy and myself and be so proud and excited. We got the whole thing on video - and I will cherish that video for ever. She was so sweet!


Andy's mom made the kids these adorable Easter outfits. Our pictures can't do them justice. A lady in our ward was saying how it feels special to have someone sew something for you. Just knowing they took all that time to make something just for you. I think my kids will grow up feeling grateful that their Grandma can do that for them.


(something funny Stella said to Andy last night:

Andy: Stella, can you think of anything we need from the store? (they were going grocery shopping)

Stella: Yeah.

Andy: What do we need?

Stella: Pops (bubble wrap) ... Toys.

Hmmm...)

Those black and whites of Stella look like they are pictures of Andy's grandma or something. (They look like they were taken back in the day) Very unique.
