Easter 2013 - Part 3 - Bubbles!!!

After lunch we headed back outside to introduce Della to BUBBLES! 

These pictures don't really need any narrative ... just a baby loving bubbles! 

Enjoy!

 (the purple spots on her dress are from the colored bubbles ... yes they washed out.) 

  

 We had so much fun watching our baby girl loving the bubbles. 

There's nothing more delightful in life than watching a child simply being happy. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with their families and lots of love.

Easter 2013 - Part 2 - Little Plastic Eggs

Yay! Nana arrived!

Luckily the weather was beautiful, sunny and warm enough for Della to wear this beautiful dress ... which I'd been saving as it is a 24mo size and I thought it would be too big. Turns out it was exactly the right size ... which means this was probably the only time she'll ever wear it. But isn't she adorable???

So we headed out to find eggs ... which I had neatly hidden in the back yard. Della caught on pretty quickly, picking up eggs and putting them in her Elmo basket.

That is ... until she stepped on an egg and it cracked open revealing that we'd loaded each egg with puffs, her favorite candy! 

Then the eggs came back out of the basket and she focused on learning to open them herself ...

During our lunch break the kitchen looked like this ... broken eggs and puffs everywhere!

Easter 2013 - Part 1 - Breakfast and a Basket

Last year for Easter Della got a cute pink bunny and lots of boobie. This year ... well, things were a little more entertaining. 

The morning started with her daily green juice presented in a new yellow chick straw cup. She dutifully inspected her new friend before deciding that juice is simply juice no matter what cup it comes in. 

While waiting for daddy to join us I presented her with a selection of cute headbands, none of which stayed on her head for more than one second ... this was just a lucky shot.

Finally the Easter Basket!  Can you tell that daddy picked it out? Yes, it's an Elmo Easter basket. 

We are going to do our very best to prevent candy from becoming the focus so this year we bought a few entertaining items from the $1 bins at Target. First up are the plastic maracas ... 

Next, a train whistle ... 

I debated on this plastic slinky but now I'm glad I bought it ... as you'll see in upcoming pics, this slinky is definitely her favorite item. Also in the basket were several books and a healthy, yet sweet, snack bar. 

There was some loving from daddy ... 

... and lots of play time while we waited for Nana and the egg hunting fun.
