Three Days of Easter...why not?

Too much fun for one week...my birthday is next weekend...I get sleepy thinking about it...

I am out!!!

I love Easter!!!

I must play with everything...at ONCE!

Going for the goodies!

Monday night the Easter bunny came...we collected all of Ash's gifts from the weekend & "re-celebrated' with Daddy! She was so excited, again, and the best part was that she never even knew she had already seen a few of the items! You have to love it!!!

Ashlyn was VERY proud of her first pedicure. I was quite surprised that we could sit still for so long.. who would have guessed?

Sunday night Ashlyn and I painted our toenails "Hawaiian orchid" so that they would be pretty when Daddy gets home from his trip on Monday.

Papa's sister, Aunt Marilyn, and Papa's niece, Cathy, spent Easter afternoon with us. The weather was so nice we had brunch outside. It was a great time.

Playing in the backyard after church.

"I don't want to go home...I want to keep walking and walking and walking!"

Ashlyn and I "walking" around Boone Hall & checking out the beautiful views.

Easter weekend was great! The weather turned out beautiful and we were surrounded by friends and family! Saturday we went to Jan's for the Easter egg hunt that Allisyn threw. Then we came home and played with Ashlyn's eggs. We collected and counted them over and over and over..........Finally, I decided the eggs had to go for a bit, and we took a wonderful bike ride through the neighborhood. Ashlyn is finally OK with the helmet idea. That night we continued the fun by hanging out with our neighbors, Sue and Alli. We took Alli (she's 10 now) to Wild Wings for her first time, then we ventured all the way to North Charleston for a Rita's run. Yummy! Easter morning Ash, Alli, Sue and I headed to Boone Hall Plantation for the Easter Service. We met Nana and Papa there. Then it was off to their house for brunch and to visit Aunt Marilyn and Cathy, who were in town from Connecticut. It was a fun afternoon.

Ashlyn's First Easter Egg Hunt!

I WANT all of those eggs!!!

Happy Girl!

Ashlyn was SOOOO excited when she finally figured out how to open her TWO eggs! Although she does not eat candy (yet) she was thrilled to have some. She chewed on the wrappers and played with those same two eggs for about half an hour!

Examining her first egg!

Allisyn and all of her "little ones"!

This morning Ash and I went to my cousin's house for an Easter egg hunt. Ashlyn was the youngest there, but she had a TON of fun!

Almost 1 and LOTS of FUN!!!

I think that says it all!

Ashlyn still follows Bono and Goose where ever they may try to go...or hide!

Great grandma Annie Lee's walker opened a whole new door for Ashlyn while we were visiting down at Edisto! She was able to navigate throughout Mimi and Papa's house. Look out!!!

Ashlyn is not walking yet, but she crawls and stands AND uses everything she can to hold on and make her way!

Rick finally has a set schedule at work (yea!!!), so he has been able to join us for fun outings like our weekly visit to the Little Gym.

Ashlyn and Addison really enjoy Jack's Big Music Show.

This egg seems different than the yummy ones that Daa da makes at breakfast!

Can we get in there, too?

She seemed to catch on pretty quickly!

I brought out the Easter decorations & thought we would start collecting eggs, so Ash will know what to do at the Easter Egg Hunt that our play group will be having. Over the last couple of weeks, Ashlyn has really been adventurous, or is it curious...................... She loves to explore & she seems to take in every little detail!
