This Easter weekend was filled with many fun activities and a few late nights. Friday night we went to Good Friday service and then went out with a few friends to Perkins. It took a while to be seated and then to order, so by the time the food arrived it was already 9:30. So M&D ate quickly so that I could get home and in bed by 10 (only 2 hours past bedtime!!). As soon as I walked in the door I went over to my highchair and asked to eat. M&D just laughed at me, since I had helped eat tomatoes and onions off one salad, had my own bowl of fruit and ate some of M's pie. I just got my bottle and got sent off to bed, where I fell asleep rocking in M's arms. Then Saturday I went clothes shopping with M. We were kind of looking for an Easter dress (although I had one at home I could wear--it was just a little big for me). Anyhow M wasn't thrilled with the colors that were out this year--oranges, and greens with a lot of "loud" designs on them, so we started supplying my summer wardrobe--2 pairs of shorts, 2 shirts, jeans, sunglasses and a little cardigan sweater to wear those cool summer mornings. M had a gift card that she got when I was born and hadn't used it yet, so since we went all that way to shop, she figured she better use it for something!!. While I napped Saturday afternoon, M got busy making 3 pies (strawberry, blueberry and a bosenberry cheesecake), banana bread and an egg casserole for Easter brunch. When I woke up from nap, Cousin L came over to help me dye Easter eggs. 
First I colored the eggs and then I put them into the bowl of dye.
I splattered some all over myself;
luckily M was smart enough to just keep me in a diaper!! Then Daddy took us to the park. It was while we were there that I participated in my first Easter egg hunt!!
The neighbor kids in the cul-de-sac over were having it in the green belt and invited me to join them.
I had so much fun we did it twice. 
I filled my hat up with a bunch of eggs. After supper I went to Cousin L's house to play while M&D watched a movie. But with my late night the previous evening, I was crabby so M didn't get to finish watching and took me home instead to put me to bed. However, I was having a lot of trouble breathing due to a cold I've been trying to get over, so I kept crying and M would come in and rock me again, so it was almost 1 1/2 hours later before I finally fell sound asleep (and that was only after M gave me some pain reliever medicine), but once asleep I slept soundly all night! Sunday morning D wasn't quite ready to get up, so M and I took our time eating breakfast and I helped M with the SS craft while we waited for the Easter bunny to come. Saturday all the eggs were empty plastic eggs (I got a prize when I finished), but on Sunday there were some plastic eggs with treats and the dyed eggs from Saturday.
Since the dyed eggs didn't open to reveal a treat, I decided to just leave them right where they were and focused on finding all the treat eggs.
My Easter basket including lots of fun things, mostly things that had Curious George on them!We took lots of pictures at church that I was getting tired of them all. 
But I stood real still for M while she took one of just me. 
You can't even tell that this dress is a size 3T! 
After church, we went home so I could take my nap (M thought it was cute how I pulled my hat down over my eyes, so I could fall asleep on the way home!) and then headed over to Uncle L's house for dinner. There were lots of people there and I got to play with all my cousins. 
I had my third and final Easter egg hunt there in the backyard and found a dozen dyed eggs my cousins had decorated. I had to line them all up afterwards 
before I could go get my prize. 
M wanted to apologize for the long entry and lots of pictures, but I told her it was my first "active" Easter and so I had to show everything off!!
