Easter 2010

We slept in til 8:15. What a great start to the day! But because it was so late we didn't make it to the early service as planned so I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast as a special treat. She loved them!! She also tried cantaloupe and had her old standard, Cheerios. Big breakfast! Oh, and this was after her lollipop appetizer :)

It was fun giving her her Easter Basket:



Here are some more photos of the morning. She loved the stickers. I put one on her forehead and one on her hand but she peeled them off and put them on her face. Look how close the one is to her eye :) She also loved her cat. She signed cat when I handed it to her. So cute!



In the afternoon I dressed her up in her Easter finest (what I had planned to take her to church in!) and went to the park and took photos. Photographing toddlers is hard! Trying to get her to be still, smile and hold a prop? Ha! I am such a novice photographer but with natural light, an adorable subject and 154 tries (yes, I took 154 photos of her!) I was bound to get a few good ones. Here are some I like:
Aw, our first special holiday together. Looking forward to many more!

It's lovely to see you starting new traditions, like you always wrote you wanted to have with your new family.

The pictures are wonderful! You have a good eye. I love the one with the branch.... so different. it captures "the egg hunt" (although I don't know if that's what she was doing at that particular moment....)

You are no novice. You knew that it would take 154 to get some good ones! Love them!!!

LOVE it--especially her facial expression after she gave you a kiss-kiss.

NTA: The two of you are beginning to look alike--has anyone else commented on how much she looks like you?
