Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday, Mommy and Nana and I got up early and went to church. These are my church friends, Mary Kate, Audrey, Russell, and Amelia. We ate strawberries, grapes, and blueberry muffins for snack.

Mommy and I wore our new Easter dresses.

I insisted we make a picture with silly faces!

After church, we went to Nana's for brunch. Aunt Lori was there. I love her!

After eating it was egg coloring time!

Nana helped me make the prettiest eggs!

Happy Easter!

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Holy Cross Egg Hunt

Today I had my first real Easter Egg hunt of the year. Mommy and I have been hiding eggs and hunting them for weeks, but this was the real thing . . . lots of eggs with candy inside and hunting with preschool friends! Here is Ms. Angie getting us all lined up and ready to hunt.

Ms. Angie is so wonderful. She explained to everyone that God gave us all different gifts . . . and running speeds, and that not all of us would be as fast at collecting eggs as others. She told us what an image of God we would be if we saw that a friend had not gathered as many eggs as we had, and we shared our eggs with them. It was so sweet after the hunt to see my friends looking around at eachothers baskets and sharing eggs. Everyone got lots of eggs!

On the hunt!

This is "my sweet buddy" Jasmine.

Did you notice my cute shirt? Mama Kaye embriodered it for me!
This egg was my favorite! An ice cream cone Easter Egg! Sadly, it did not have ice cream inside, just jelly beans! I'll settle for jelly beans.

Another Pretty Dress!

Mama Kaye surprised me by making me this sweet dress and sending to me in the mail. Did you know that I love to get mail?

It has cute yellow chicks and pink tulips. I love the bow in the back! Here are my sweet friends, Audrey and Amelia.

Guess what? Mommy took me to buy a yellow hairbow to match my new dress. I spotted this kitten (whom I have named, Kitten) and had to have her. Since she was only a dollar, Mommy said okay.

Olivia and me . . .

. . . being silly. What else would you expect?

Easter Dress

Cousin Emily made me the most beautiful dress!

Isn't the smocking gorgeous? Cousin Melissa did the sweet tatting on the sleeves - you can barely see it in this picture. The fabric pattern is called "Over the Moon" and has a nursery rhyme theme. You can see a close-up of it here.

Statue

My assignment in Kindermusik this past week was to make a statue. We could make anything . . . so of course I chose a kitty cat.

Mommy and I decided to use paper mache to make my statue. I mixed up flour and water for the paste.

Then we soaked strips of newspaper in the paste and stuck them to the balloon.

Before the paint.

Mommy forgot to take any pictures of me painting my sculpture . . . maybe because I demanded my cat be purple (my favorite color). Mommy was thinking black or brown - you know, real cat colors. The directions for the statue encouraged CREATIVITY. My cat is purple, it has one brown eye and one blue eye, a blue nose, and a green mouth . . . now that's creative. By the way, my teacher loved it!

New Monday Afternoon Tradition

I was playing outside when I heard music. Much to my suprise, it was an ice cream truck! A truck that comes to my house, plays music, AND brings me ice cream? WOW!

It's hard to believe that last Monday it was warm enough for sandals and a skirt! I am ready for warm weather. I walked up to the ice cream lady and picked my treat! I am one happy girl! And guess what? The ice cream lady said she would bring me ice cream every Monday after school! Hooray!

YEA SPRING!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mama Kaye made me the cutest outfit! I am going to wear it to school for St. Patrick's Day

Here is a close-up of the fabric. Isn't it cute?

Puppy Heaven!!!!!

My cousins' dog, Dixie, had puppies! I got to visit them today. Deborah brought the basket of puppies into the garage since it was raining outside. Emily held me so I could see them.

Melissa helped me hold this sweet one. Her name is Shiloh.

Six sweet puppies!



This is as close as I like to get to Mama Flo's puppy (there's a sliding glass door between us).

Pajamas with No Holes

My favorite pajamas are pajamas with no holes. That's what I call the pj's with footies in them. I wear pajamas with no holes to bed every night. I was so happy when Daddy bought Mommy her very own pajamas with no holes! Mommy put them on and I said "Oh, Mommy, you look so cute! Maybe Daddy will take our picture." And he did!

The Birds

We could hear these crazy birds from INSIDE our house. We decided to go outside and see what was going on.

In case you didn't get that . . . I thought they were having a birthday party!

Gnomeo and Juliet

Mommy took me to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D! This was my first 3D movie experience. I wore my glasses long enough for Mommy to take my picture - and that's all. I didn't want to wear them during the movie. It sure looked fuzzy without them!

Happy Valentine's Day

I haven't been to school in a week because of the snow! I was so happy to go back today. I was also happy to celebrate Valentine's Day! First, I passed out my Valentine cards.

Next, I opened some of my Valentines and made a craft.

After crafts, it was game time! I played Pass the Heart . . .
. . . and Bingo.

BINGO!
My most favorite part of the party was next . . . a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!

Hope your Valentine's Day is SWEET!

Fun in the Snow

I didn't go to school yesterday because I had a fever and Mommy took me to the doctor. I have a virus and I'm feeling much better today. When we got home from the doctor's office, I really wanted to play in the snow, but Mommy wouldn't let me since I was sick. She did let me catch a couple of snowflakes on my tongue!


When I got up today, Mommy and I went out to play!

Mommy and I love how the sun makes the snow sparkle.
We made a snowman and gave him a carrot nose.

Then I made snow angels . . . .lots and lots of snow angels!





I had so much fun!

Before we went inside, we scooped up some snow for snowcream!

I got a warm bath and put my pj's back on.

A little sugar,
add some milk and vanilla and stir it up.
Next, we added the snow.
We needed a bigger bowl!
YUM!!!
We have enjoyed our snow day!
