This was by far the best Easter ever! Having a little one around just makes every holiday so much better. Especially now since Lily is so much more aware of what is going on and understands things. Her personality is really emerging, and she has lots of it! We took Lily to an infant Easter egg hunt at Wiregrass Mall, we met her friend Olivia there. I didn't expect much, and thought that there would be minimal egg hunting happening. When we arrived at the infant section it was the funniest thing, they had eggs scattered all over on the ground, and the little ones would just pick them up and put them in their baskets. Lily and Olivia gathered eggs together so nicely, even sharing eggs with each other. It was adorable to see them getting excited about the eggs and proud of themselves for putting them in their Easter baskets. They had a great time and Lily took a long nap after her egg hunt.
Unfortunately, Daddy worked on Easter Sunday so it was nice to celebrate with him on Saturday. Sunday morning my Mom and I went to church with Lily. It is so funny because Lily loves church, and behaves really well. She loves to wave at all of the people and sing, loud! -Even after the song is over! ;) At the end of service the priest always walks down the center aisle and since we were on the end of the aisle, Lily stuck her hand way up high and waved really big at the priest, who had no choice but to unfold his hands and wave back at her. It was so cute!
After church the 3 of us went to brunch at the Temple Terrace Country Club where Lily decided to eat everything in site! The child has a very healthy appetite! The Easter bunny was there for anyone who wanted to take pictures with him. I brought Lily up and she was terrified!!! She pushed away from him and started crying like she meant it! In her defense, he was a really ugly Easter bunny...his eyes were all faded out and scary looking! Oh well, maybe next year!
Just as our food was settling it was time for dinner at my parents house, where we were joined by my brother, his girlfriend, my aunt, cousins, uncle and grandpa. We had a full house and Lily loved all of the attention from everybody! Lily gathered more Easter eggs in Grandma & Grandpa's yard and received lots of Easter goodies from her family.
Thanks everyone! I know Lily had a great first Easter. It was so wonderful watching her eyes & face light up as she enjoyed her first Easter! Here are a few pics from Easter Sunday.
