Easter Weekend..Wow! I'm tired!

I am posting two new blogs today, my introduction blog, and this one. I couldn't leave out details of our Easter Weekend.

Our weekend started off really good! On Saturday morning, we took Lily to an Easter Party/ Egg Hunt at our church. Lily had so much fun! We have a small church and usually not many kids, but we had a great turnout Saturday. There were around ten tots under 3, so Lily had the best time playing the games with them. Below is a pic of Lily and some of the kids from the party..

That's Lily 2nd to last on the right. She was the youngest but didn't have any problems fitting in.

(Her outfit was sewed by a friend of mine. Isn't it cute?)

They played all kinds of games and had two egg hunts.

Here is a picture of Lily finding an egg.

She found most of the eggs on her own, and takes Egg Hunting so serious. She loves it though. After the party, we went by my mom and dad's house (Maw-Maw & Pop to Lily). They had a huge basket of goodies for Lily not too mention 6 new outfits, tons of new socks, and lots of snacks! They spoil Lily way too much, but I can't complain.

We then went to a neighbor's house to do some bargain shopping. She and one of my "myspace" friends are having a garage sale in a couple of weeks, but she was willing to let me come shop ahead of time. She has two little girls and happened to have tons of 18 & 24 month dresses just right for Lily. She had great smocked dresses for $10 and $ 5 each. I ended getting Lily 5 dresses and one bubble outfit! I will have to add pics! They are great and such great deals! I was so excited!

We dyed our eggs Saturday night and had Lily strategically placed in her booster seat on the bar away from the egg dye. when she decided to stretch her leg as far as it would go and knock the orange dye all over our freshly beautifully dyed eggs..nevertheless, despite the orange glow, the eggs turned out cute!

Sunday morning, we woke up way tooo early for Sunrise Service at church. We let Lily sleep until 6:15 when we finally convinced up to wake up by showing her what the Easter bunny had left her! She got a basket filled with goodies and a pink bubble-blowing lawn mower!

Notice Lily's wild hair..her daddy dressed her before she woke up, so all we had to do was fix her hair once she woke up!

We then jetted to church and when church was over, attempted pics at my mom and dad's house..un successful mission however, it was quite cool and Lily was even more sleepy! She fell asleep on the way to BJ's family's Easter lunch gathering so she managed to sneak in a good nap!

We had a great lunch with lots of good food! Everything from grilled chicken & hamburgers to hashbrown casserole and homemade macaroni...As usual, I ate way too much! We spent most of the day at BJ's uncle where lunch was held. Lily hunted eggs with her cousins, Hunter, Erin, and Amber and was so sleepy!

We went home and she took a 20 minute nap, which is never a good thing for Lily! I think she must have felt bad all evening because she was so fussy and wouldn't eat much at all. She has had a runny nose and small cough, so I just hope it's getting worse. She finally fell asleep at 7 which is way earlier than normal, but she woke up at 10, and it was 12 something before we finally convinced her to settle in...it was a rough night, which is rare unless she feels better!

All in all, we had a fun weekend, very busy one, and tonight I hope we can catch up and rest from the excitement!

Here are a few more pics from the weekend:

Lily's painted toenails! I put her in her booster seat on the bar to paint them that way she couldn't touch them until they were dry! She loved them!!

Lily with her daddy and her Pops..I think this was a sweet pic!

I loved Lily's outfit that I got at Dillard on sale back in January,
so I had to put a pic of her with it on. It has a cute top with buttons
but her sweater was covering those up.
