“Hoppy” Day

How Easter has changed from last year! Helen Grace really ‘gets’ things more, so all the festivities were that much more exciting. Around 6:30 a.m. while Helen Grace and I were sitting on the couch watching cartoons, we heard a noise outside and ran to the front door where we busted Grandma and Peggy making a delivery for the Easter Bunny, complete with bunny ears. Ha! Later, Helen Grace spotted the gifts that the Easter Bunny left on our dining room table and immediately sat down on the floor to explore all of them. The Olivia jack-in-the-box, Hello Kitty watch, stickers, and parachute bunny and chick were big hits. Also, we spent a lot of the morning jumping around like a “hoppy” (bunny). We met Grandma and Peggy at mass at 10:00, and Helen Grace spent the first 40 minutes of the service with her face in my chest. Where is this shyness coming from??? She warmed up afterward when she could run up and down the steps of the altar and play with the flowers. On the way to Bubba’s, she fell asleep, and by a miracle, we were able to get her to Bubba’s bed where she slept for the next two hours. When she woke up though, the shyness remained, so we tried to wait it out for over an hour with not much luck. We threw in the towel and brought her home where she devoured spaghetti o’s and finally her Easter gifts and books from Spif and Granddaddy. All in all, it was a fabulous and “hoppy” holiday weekend!

Happy about her hoppy {Flashback to Easter 2010} {Flashback to Easter 2010} “What?! I don’t want to leave! It’s much more fun to run from you and twirl with my dress hiked up!” Snoozing at Bubba’s…I could just eat her up! Full on body cling…personally, I can’t say that it bothers me too much. I know that in a few years she won’t want to be this close to me or be seen in public with me!M-E-S-S
