Easter

We had a fun Easter weekend. On Saturday, we put Anna in her Easter dress to take some pictures around town. We went to a couple of places, including the river front so that Anna could play with her "walker" in a bigger area than her play area at home. She loved having so much room to "walk" in!! She's taken a few steps on her own, but she loves walking with her "walker." As you can see from some of the pics, she was also very interested in the leaves on the ground. It was difficult to get her to look up because she was studying the leaves so much! On Easter Sunday, we dressed her in her cute spring outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Hobart--it fit her perfectly! We spent the morning at home. She was interested in what the Easter Bunny brought her---especially the plastic eggs filled with Puffs! Then we went to our friends' house and had a fun Easter dinner outdoors. The weather was beautiful--so it was really nice to enjoy a meal on the back deck. Before dinner the kids played croquet, and Anna liked checking out the stick at the beginning of the course. She doesn't seem to be afraid of the grass anymore because she was crawling and walking around (with help) on it quite a bit. We ended the day with some wonderful homemade apricot "cakes" that our friend made--similar to a Slovak traditional desert (her family is Slovak). Anna enjoyed these too! Then she fell asleep in my arms (earlier than we expected). She had a fun-filled day. We all did. How lucky am I to have these two wonderful people in my life? ...and our great friends on top of that!
