Hello again! Sorry for the silence over here but I needed a bit of a break to focus on “real life”. Poppy has grown so much in the past few months! Not just up up up but in so many other areas. I couldn’t be a prouder mama if I tried. Oh and did I mention she changed her name? Well she did. Her name is now Curious George the monkey. Please if you see her don’t even bother using her old name. She has only one friend who can’t seem to wrap his head around Poppy no longer going by the name Poppy annnnnd lets just say it has put a bit of a strain on their relationship.

Now for Easter-

This was such a magical Easter. George was SO excited for the bunny to come that she had a hard time getting to sleep. When she woke up she couldn’t wait to see if the Easter bunny had come! First Danie came over then we had to get dressed and put on some of her new barbie makeup; I got her a little case of it because she always wants to dig her fingers into mine. I have been trying to teach her that “less is more” but she is far too excited at the moment to listen. After she put on a not so modest amount of lip gloss on her cheeks we headed downstairs. On the giant chalk wall there was a message from the Easter Bunny himself!!! George made me read it a few times and then headed over to her little table to enjoy the tea party Mr Bunny had set up for her and Baby. He had left two cups filled with jelly beans and chocolates and two carrots. After munching on a few jelly beans and sipping on a cup of rice milk George got her hunt on. It was so much fun! Happy Easter!

Every year I wake up on Easter ready to hunt. I’m not sure how many adults out there enjoy or partake in the hunt for eggs on this beautiful day but I can guarantee I am not alone. Easter is not just for kids. However this year when I woke up my mind was not filled with thoughts of  goodies I was about to find but with the excitement to watch Poppy roll around with her eggs that the Easter bunny had brought just for her! Since she is not quite mobile yet and has not experienced chocolate, and nor does she understand the concept of hunting for eggs, the Easter bunny took it easy on her and set out some rather large plastic eggs – each one containing two cheerios! Poppy was in heaven. Once the hunt/cheerio feast was over we packed ourselves up and headed out for the day. First we enjoyed a wonderful Easter brunch with Kegan’s family and then a delicious Easter dinner with my family. It was the perfect day. Happy Easter!
