I was so excited for Syd to see her Easter basket that I woke up at 6am! This was the very same basket I sat Syd in last year for Easter pictures. When she finally decided to open her beautiful eyes, it was pancake time! I don't even think I let her swallow the last bite when I scooped her out of the jumper and sat her next to her goodies. Jason predicted her not caring, and crawling off to go play with a sock. But he was wrong! She pulled out each item, smiling upon inspection. She found books, crayons, finger puppets, Little People, fruit snacks and animal crackers, cookie cutters and mix, a pinwheel, a tiny stuffed rabbit enclosed in an egg, and a chocolate bunny for Charley. She was in little toddler heaven. Next I went to enjoy some coffee in bed while Jason kept an eye on Syd. Then it was time for our egg hunt! I dressed her in the cutest spring dress, grabbed a basket and her daddy, and off we went. We walked to a nearby field with the most pitiful display of grass I've ever seen. But it was perfect. I sprinkled her goldfish-filled eggs around and let her explore. The weather was perfect too-warm on your face with a breeze in your hair.
The rest of the day was pretty laid back. Jason never made it to the store for eggs so we didn't end up making the Easter cookies, but at least we have a nice treat for next week now! It was a beautiful Easter, spent with my two favorites. As the night comes to an end, a miniature baby foot kicks my bladder to remind me for the 104,895,379th time today, how lucky I really am.
And just to reminisce over last year's Easter:
