Easter 2011

Last weekend while running errands in Denver, we stopped at a little bakery for a treat. Since Easter was near, we couldn't pass up this cute chick cookie.

Nora enjoyed a sunny spot on a chair, licking the frosting-what a Saturday morning!

We didn't have much for Easter festivities planned at our house, but Nora did check out her Easter basket.

And discovered she likes M&Ms when she opened an easter egg.

Modeling some ears...


All set to go to the Shaw's house for an egg hunt. Unfortunately, it was not a nice day so the Easter Bunny had to hide all the eggs in the basement.

Nora didn't really 'get it' that you should pick up the eggs and put them in the basket.

Instead she opened every egg, spilled the contents everywhere, put the jelly beans in her mouth, then promptly spit them out.

Before eating, Nora and Finn did their best to work off some of the sugar.

All smiles before brunch...they didn't last long. Next year maybe we'll eat during naptime...or after bedtime!

Later in the day we had another egg hunt in our basement, followed by take-out Chinese for dinner. Nora did get the hang of egg hunting, kind of. She learned that the eggs were something you should want, but instead of hunting for them, she took them out of Lily and Sophie's baskets! Finn and Nora did wind down long enough to read a book with Dirk.


It was an enjoyable day of just hangin' out.
