Eggs, Eggs Everywhere

 It was beautiful the week of Easter and leading up to it so we were able to spend so much time outside.

 We even dyed our eggs outside which is almost a necessity given this lady's love for liquids and mess. :)

 Jilly LOVES dying eggs.  She always has because she is a fan of spilling liquid.   The fact that the liquid is colored is such a plus in her book.

 Because Anna Mei loves everything, she enjoyed it too.

 Jilly could care less about eggs.  She doesn't eat candy and so Anna Mei happily collected them all.  Her basket was over flowing.

 Jilly just enjoyed a bit of time in her beloved sandbox while Anna did all the work.  We all enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing day together.  Of course, we can't wait to have a little two year old running alongside our girls reeking havoc in our backyard.  We hope to receive article 5 this week.  We are so, so close!

Her First Hunt

Saturday Jillian participated in her first Easter Egg Hunt.

Our church hosted it and she actually enjoyed herself.

She could care less about eating candy, but she loves a good shake..

and those filled eggs shake, shake, shake..

She loved them!

Our sweet friend knows how our girl loves a good shake so she brought her favorite candy to her..a box of nerds. Though she would never eat them, she was thrilled to shake away.
Do you ever just feel blessed to have people in your baby's life who know her so well and seek to make her happy? I do!! I sure love sweet Cassie who came running to my girl with this box of nerds just for her to shake. She had a huge smile on her face when she saw them and then she shook those nerds up and down smiling the whole time!

This box of eggs looks like a giant sensory bin to me! She wanted to dive right in which made this momma super happy that she was so willing to explore these new things.
Of course any social event is never complete for our little lady without a little swinging. Here are some of her favorite teenagers giving her a good toss. Look at that face she's sporting. We are so lucky to have so many people who are willing to do anything for our baby. These girls rock!

Looking forward to an Easter filled with memories and celebrating the resurrection for the first time in church with our girl!
