Happy Tuesday everyone! I am late to the update about Easter bandwagon, but let's get real...I still haven't posted about Christmas. I'll get to it!!!
So here's the down low. I'm not big on the Easter bunny so I had no intention of taking Emma to see the Easter bunny.....then I thought to myself "Self, are you going to regret it if you don't take her to the Easter bunny on her first Easter?" So the hubby and I loaded her up and stood in the 45 minute line to see the Easter bunny. Friends.....why do we torture our poor children this way? Not a single child, mine included, wanted to sit with this creature. They all cried or screamed and made a hullabaloo all so we can spend $22 for two 4x6 photos. Never again! But hey.....we have the photo!

Next up on our agenda was dying eggs. In the 13 years the hubby and I have been together we have never dyed eggs. I know we are lame. So I bought a tie dye kit and with full intention to let Emma solid dye some of them. While intentions are always good, they don't always work out. She was NOT having it Saturday night so daddy held her and she watched as I squirted dye and each of us soaked out eggs until they were the desired color. Ya'll I have never dyed eggs with vinegar only and was thoroughly impress with the color payoff! Definitely going to do it that way from now on!
Easter morning Emma got her basket.....lots of snacks and some bubbles. I am SO creative! ;-) Then she napped and we went to the Easter service at our church. Afterward we went to my grandmothers house and had our Easter meal and then everyone played with Emma until she was so exhausted that she crashed the second we put her in the carseat. She got lots of fun things from her grandmothers and godmother but I got a great bench pillow from my mom! I am so excited and requested all the seasons already!
Of course I had to do a styled shoot for the holiday so I took her out to the park area behind our apartment and let her play with some plastic eggs. She was more interested in pulling on the grass and stuffing those eggs in her mouth to care about smiling for a photo.....priorities. So it wasn't until daddy whipped out the cell phone and put on music that she even cared to look up....then it was way up. But hey, we got that super cute photo above!
Happy Easter Friends!
