Mallory experienced her first egg hunt today. Our neighborhood had a get together at Harvey Park and in spite of the cold she loved it. I think this picture of her reaction to the Easter Bunny is hilarious.
Really, a sweet looking soft bunny, how is that scary? It’s not like she hasn’t seen life size plush characters before-hello Disney! oh well–
She carries her basket over her arm, it’s so cute to watch her "hike" it up.
After having to keep her away from the egg area (she was all about picking the eggs up and putting them in her basket) I literally had to carry her to the egg zone when it started as she was headed off on her own little adventure. She got into the spirit right away.
opening the eggs-thank you to Brandi for suggesting no candy!
We had a great time and are looking forward to doing it again tomorrow in our backyard!
In honor of spring and Easter this weekend, we (Mallory & I) hosted out first annual spring cookie decorating party. Our friends the Whaley girls (yes Alyssa I think of you and your mommy and sister this way). We iced cookies outside on the deck under an umbrella and throughly enjoyed the sunshine.
While this isn’t a great shot, every one was at this moment doing something at the table 🙂

Our beautiful finished products.
Wow
Great job! I can now point people to your blog to see it 🙂 Looks like we had lots of fun.
Amanda, what a wonderful tradition to begin! Years from now you and Julie both will love remembering these times. And, I, sure do miss getting to be a part of it. Thanks for being their friends.

It’s spring break in our area for all the public schools and this means pre-schools are out too. So we have lots of friends avaliable to play this week. Today we went to a new place in Bellview called The Monkey’s Treehouse and Mallory had a ball. Literally! When we first arrived, she was NOT excited as she was afraid that it was another church nursery and I was going to leave her. Anyone have any suggestions about how to overcome separation anxiety? Once she was convinced I was there to stay she loved running around and playing with all the cool toys. I seriously cannot believe my baby girl is 18 months old (yes today!)
Happy Unbirthday little one.
Her expression says it all! We’ll go to the Gymboree play place next week 🙂
