Optimism

During a little Easter Party, a thoughtful guest gave all the kids little prizes.  The girls got flower headbands and fairy wings.  Gianna was excited to wear them and kept them on for most of the afternoon. 

At one point after I just put her wings on, I heard her grunting as she stood on her tip toes.

"Uh! Uh! Uh!" she said with a frustrated tone.

"Mommy, I just (uh!) can't (uh!) FLY!"

She was certain the wings would allow her to take flight!

So we headed to the trampoline to see if that might help her effort.

"Look Mommy!  I flying!"

And then she gave up on the flying dream....

and settled for another mode of transportation.

Happy Easter

It was a lovely weekend.  I felt like I had my act together this year, embracing Lent and preparing for Easter. It sure made the holiday so much more enjoyable.

My parents' neighbor provided Gianna with yet ANOTHER stuffed bunny.  Ridiculous.

We colored eggs which is always fun for the first ten minutes.

I mentioned to Iain that a couples of the eggs had cracked and Gianna said,

"Oh no, Daddy.....the eggs crapped."  :)

After we colored eggs, we had this little discussion:

There were also a couple of attempts at some Easter cakes....

Easter Morning

There was a little bunny parade leading the way to the offerings of the Easter Bunny.

Iain put together a little video of Easter morning...

On our way to Mass to celebrate the Resurrection....

Ahhh.....taking pictures of a two year old.

And when we finally get a sweet shot of her, then her mom looks like she's on drugs.

But my two loves seem to manage to always get a good one of the both of them.

And on a side note....

I can totally relate.

Sending Easter Blessings to all of you.
