on easter morning...

i would tell you that emma started her easter morning with her window gel clings...

but that wouldn't be the truth. the truth is that she woke us up at 6:30 am on easter morning to let us know that the easter bunny had brought her a baby deer. that's what she's holding in this photo....

it's a baby deer alright. he's tiny. but, i guess that's proof that, "it's the little things..." you can see the new addition in front of miss emma's easter basket. and yes, that's what all of the excitement was about.

she was just giddy with the baby deer and giddy over her peeps too. marshmallow + yellow = pure love for miss emma.

buddy was happy with just his morning milk.

and these two together always make for a three-ring circus like atmosphere. is it like that at your house?

buddy stays pretty busy pushing his toy.

he wouldn't dare take a step without it.

believe it or not, we made it out of our pj's on easter morning...

and although we're all a bit squinty, just before church, we got a family photo too.

here's one with grand-dad and nana too.

emma will always pose for me these days...

and buddy, well, just his smocking, white socks, and white walking shoes made me smile.

i wish i could dress him like this everyday.

we were so thankful to have grand-dad and nana with us for our special easter weekend! thanks so much for coming to visit!
