Easter Day Festivities

Sugar cookies!
When we asked Mikayla what colors she wanted she said lellow, of course, but then added purple and blue-we're stepping up in the world!

The basket!
We waited until after her nap for the big basket reveal.
She got bean bags and a CD with some of her favorite songs from library story time on it.  She loves the bean bag song where you put the bean bag on different body parts-she knew exactly what to do with her new bean bags!

The hunt!
The Easter bunny may have hidden 5 1/2 dozen eggs just for Mikayla.  We really wanted to do Easter at home this year so we invited whatever family wanted to come to join us.  Luckily Uncle Jake and Auntie Maren came to help hunt eggs, otherwise we would've been waiting on Mikayla to find them all until next Easter.
Demonstrating the proper way to carry your Easter egg bag.
Stop the bus!  Mikayla has "dirt" (said with an English accent) on her shoes.  She is obsessed with dirt all of a sudden.  At any given time there's bound to be dirt in her eye, dirt in her shoes, dirt on her finger, dirt in her cup, dirt on her food.  I don't even know what to say...
The cheering crowd.  See why we're excited for more siblings and cousins?!?  She's a little outnumbered.
Yummy dinner, dessert and a game followed.  Such a fun day!

P.S. Check out our grass!  It's growing so much since we planted it (picture in this post)-especially after we realized it wasn't getting water for the first 3 1/2 weeks!
