Happy Easter - 2009

Happy Easter - 2009! It only took 4 times chasing the Easter Bunny for Kyrah to connect all the pieces. At her first egg hunt she picked the eggs up and threw them. At her second egg hunt at the neighbors house, she picked the eggs up and carried them around. At her third egg hunt at a local church she picked the eggs up and gave them to whoever was around her. Finally at her last egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house she found the egg, picked it up and put it in her basket. It was a learning process for her. We had a great Easter. The weather was a bit chilly, but there was no stopping Kyrah from going outside -she would scream all the time when she was in the house and go stand by the door.

She of course looked adorable as did the twins. Here is Raya in her fancy Easter dress. Raya later changed into a cute outfit from Aunt Tina - it had a duck on the bib and on her butt. Raya is doing what she pretty much does all the time - sleep. She is great in that she can sleep through most noises.

Broden was just wearing a blue pooh bear outfit, but he still looks adorable.

The closest I could get to getting a picture of all 3 kids together is holding Kyrah next to the twins while they were sleeping -plus Broden only laid down on the couch for about 20 minutes before he had to be picked up.

Wow look at all the eggs the bunny laid. We only had 7 of the 11 grandkids there that day (2 of which were the twins) and we had over 100 eggs in the yard - each kid got 15 or so eggs.

Kyrah did a great job of finding the eggs. She still wanted to just walk around with them in her hand so we had to convince her to put them in her basket.

Wow look at all that loot! She also likes to pop open the fake eggs and see what is inside. We had to watch what she got though - small M&Ms are a choking hazard. Actually, I rarely give Kyrah straight up candy like a candy bar or things like that. She does get suckers and she ate a peep, but that is pretty much it. Her "treat" at our house is a fruit popsicle or a cookie every now and then. She likes sweets, but I don't give them to her that often.


Recently some of my favorite things is watching Kyrah run - it is that toddler run that is stiff legged and she sort of bounces along. The other thing is when she grabs Daddy's hands to walk with him. Seeing this tall 6 foot man with a little cutie patootie holding his finger walking together just melts my heart.

Today, easter Monday, I dressed Raya in her sassy cheata shirt and of couse that meant she had to wear her puma socks - it was a big cat theme day for her...


Broden and Mommy stayed in their pjs all day!
