Easter

I really loved Elder Holland's General Conference message, so for the Easter season and any other time, I hope you will take time to read it. Any words I could say would fall far short.





How cute is this little princess? I loved this dress when I found it, but like most Easter dresses it is sleeveless and hello it's not all that warm here yet, so I needed to find some kind of little cardigan to go with it. Gotta say - I don't love them together, but it worked because seriously I couldn't find anything to match closer without having to buy one that came with another dress. I just love that she pranced around in it like a little princess and loved being all dressed up! I even got her to hold still long enough to curl little ringlets in the back of her hair. So fun to have a little girl!

Side note: My daughter - does not know how to smile for the camera - I just get the cheese face a lot. She's still such a cute little stinker, but I'm going to try to have my sister take some professional cute ones and hopefully get some smiles with her eyes open - but we'll have to see.

We had a little basket with eggs for her in the morning, and I guess with Officer busy working all weekend we kind of forgot about things like dying eggs and stuff, but the highlight of her Easter was an Easter egg hunt at Grandma's house after dinner. We had several of the cousins (and Aunts) all together and the Dad's had just as much fun hiding all the eggs. We weren't sure how quickly Miss Peanut would catch onto the concept, but she went out there like a pro.

This is the before shot:

And the after shots:

She seriously did not want to part with those eggs after it was all done and she figured out what was in them.
This is Miss Peanut in action:
