First Easter

This is an important and exciting day; more for mommy than you. It was your first Easter. For weeks, the anticipation has been mounting. I wanted to make it perfect for you. I know. I know. You won't remember it. But, I am your mommy and it had to be perfect.

Mommy was excited to put you in a perfect dress. But, the temperature around here is never stable or nice around Easter. Mommy remembers a year when hail came down. Your grandpa was grilling at your great grandparent's house when all of a sudden ice came down. A day mommy hasn't forgotten. Yesterday's temperature was OK for this time of year. It was about 60 degrees. A couple of weeks ago it was in the 80's. In a perfect world we would have nice weather for you to do an Easter egg hunt. Maybe one day we can do that.

It was nice enough for you to wear a dress though. Yay! Your outfit was a collaboration of gifts. The dress and sweater shrug were gifts from Auntie Sami. The bow, which I must say I really loved, was a gift from Auntie Kathy. And, the final touch was your bib that came from grandma.

The other major challenge was your first Easter basket. I had to make sure the Easter Bunny didn't fill it with candy since you are on a strict liquid diet. That morning this adorable basket showed up filled with some toys for you to play with once you can.

We spent the day at grandma's. The long day out was something we hadn't done yet. You did really well. You did get tired though. Unfortunately, Uncle Tony got the brunt of that. He came up to your chair from behind and over you. You started to cry like someone pinched you. The heartbreak was all over his face. I felt really bad for him. It was time for your nap and Auntie Tammy was more than happy to rock you to sleep. You were out in no time.

When we got home, you were exhausted. I put you in your pajamas. They were your Easter pj's. The bunnies on the feet with the floppy ears kept you entertained.

All in all, your first Easter was a good one. If Lukas were here, it would have been perfect. Love you.
