Easter

This year was not only Bri'elles first Easter but also our first Easter as a family. For the most part is was as I anticipated it to be. Saturday before Easter we went to Bay Hills Easter Spring Fling. They had a yo-yo show, egg hunt, jumpies, egg dying, and a petting zoo. It was a lot of fun. I catch wait to take Brillo next year when she will be able to interact more.
We were able to get Anella, Bri'elles cousin for this event. It was the first time the two cousins met. Anella is 4 1/2. At this age she was halfly interested in Bri'elle and the other part of the time she was in her own little world. When Anella became super hyperactive Bri'elle would freak out. Poor thing! I would have to explain to Anella that Bri'elle needs her space. It was cute though when Anella would tell me what Bri'elle is saying. Bri'elle would be "talking" and Anella would translate for her. It was hilarious.
Later on in the day we dyed eggs. Even though Bri'elle is too young to particpate it is still fun to do! At the end of the night I was up by myself dying eggs. Everyone flaked on me, but my mommy got to watch me dye then and think back to the days when I was little dying them. Good times.
The next morning the Easter bunny came! Anella stayed the night so of course he came for her too! Anella got a basket full of princess stuff (hair barretts, coloring book, lip balm, a little purse), a shirt, scarf, and candy. Bri'elle got a backet of candy (lol), Disney's Alice in Wonderland DVD, a sleeper, and a head band. After the baskets were found we got ready for church. Once church ended we began the scramble to get to everyones house for dinner.
First was my house. We prepared some of the dinner and then headed of to Jay's grandmas house. There the three of us (Jay, Bri'elle and me) had dinner with his grandpa. It was nice to see Bri'elle awake and interact to a new voice. She was in a good mood and went to sleep at the perfect time, when we sat down for dinner. After Jay's grandmas house we headed back over to my house. There was my family plus my nana and papa and my Aunt's family minus Ryan. Another dinner we got to eat. Bri'elle also had her dinner. Pears! A little after dinner Anella had went home. Not long after that we then started our way to Jay's dads house. There we met Marty's girlfriend DeAnna and her family. It was nice to finally meet her. Bri'elle was just amazed with Marty. This didn't surprise me since she LOVES my dad. I think Marty enjoyed it too. He hadn't seen her since she was 2 weeks old. Not only did he dance with her but even changed her diaper. Now this did surprise me since most men don't do the dirty work. Way to go grandpa! We ended the night here and made our way home.
Easter was such a busy day for us but I'm glad we had each other and got to enjoy our baby girl Bri'elle. Below are a few pics from the day!
