Easter 2011

The Easter bunny dropped off some goodies at our house!
Cara had left some sugar cookies out for the Easter bunny to enjoy, which he must have because he ate most of them!

Cara got lots of good things in her basket, plus a little doll table for her dolls to enjoy!
After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa F's house for more Easter fun! Cara is modeling her new Easter dress with Elizabeth since they had matching dresses!
Cara and Oscar, best buds!
Time for the Easter egg hunt, again the weather cooperated and the rain stopped in time to have outdoor fun!


But the rain boots helped keep her feet dry from the soggy grass

What a great Easter! It was also a great year for teaching Cara about the true meaning of Easter!

Busy Saturday

We had quite a long list of activities to do the day before Easter!

The first was going to the Easter Egg hunt in our town park! It had been a rainy week and rain was predicted for this day too, but the sun was shining down on the fun!

And they are off, with about 30 seconds to gather as many eggs as you can you have to be quick!

Going through her eggs to see if she found any special prizes! She really enjoyed all the candy!

Our next afternoon activity included our neighborhood Easter Egg hunt sponsored by a realtor who lives in the neighborhood. It was trying to rain on this one, but we were prepared with a rain coat and umbrella!

The Easter Bunny made an appearance!
More Easter egg dyeing was also on our to-d0 list!
We bought this neat kit that had little paint rollers to roll the colors on the eggs

Our next activity was heading to the Gas City Cracker Barrel to meet Grandma and Grandpa A for a visit and eats!

What a busy, fun and long day! Now home to bed to get ready for the Easter Bunny visit!

Easter Egg Dyeing!

Cara could not wait for the day when we could dye Easter eggs!



A display of our hard work! We didn't have enough eggs for her liking so I promised we could do more the next day!

Blogging!

Need to blog.....

hopefully one day real soon I can get caught up on my blog (sigh!)

So in the meantime...cute Cara pic

Owen Visits

Owen and his parents came by for a visit on their way to Cincinnati recently and Owen brought his violin to give us a quick concert! Cara really enjoyed playing on it! Owen got to try out playing Scott's trumpet!

Palm Sunday Egg Hunt

On Palm Sunday our church hosted an egg hunt after Mass. I had to work the weekend so it Daddy and Cara met Grandma and Grandpa at church.
Must have been a bit windy :) I love the hair!
The thrill of the hunt is exciting as what is inside the eggs
Thank you to the youth group at St. Malachy for a fun activity for the kids!

American Idol 2023??

Recently Cara has been asking for a strap for her guitar so Daddy bought her a cute pink and black one, perfect for her to work on her playing skills

She uses the camera tripod as her microphone to belt out her tunes. She would not sing a tune for the video camera but hopefully soon!

We love mani's and pedi's

Our pretty piggies, now sandal ready
I love shellac! This is a gel nail polish with a 14 day wear time that is awesome! They put your hands under a UV light between each layer of nail polish for a super durable and shiny finished product!
Cara did not get shellac but wanted to show off her pink sparkly nails too!

Ready for Summer!

She accessorized herself for a day of shopping, complete with hat and sunglasses! Super cute!
