Baby's First Easter

After a super busy week, it was nice to have a long weekend. We were excited to have a couple play dates with Maryn, who is the daughter of my college friend Lindsay and just 11 days older than Brooke. Lindsay lives in Colorado, so this was the first time for our girls to meet.

Saturday, we visited Michael's family in Deer Park to celebrate Easter. Brooke got a new swimsuit, puzzle and some fun toys from her Mamaw and Papaw. They were fascinated with her motor skills; she was crawling all over the place. She was definitely more curious about their dog, Duke, and his unstoppable "kisses". She got lots of lovin' while we were there, just as Papaw stated "she is about 3/4 rotten". I would have to agree; she is pretty spoiled!

   

Sunday, we woke up early to attend 8:30 mass. It was packed, as to be expected. She did well, although Michael ended up in the overly crowded cry room for the last half and I made a trip to the bathroom with B before it was all over. She had a bottle in church and passed out on the way home. We had french toast, bacon, sausage and bloody mary's at our house for breakfast. After a short nap, we got a few family photos and Brooke played with her gifts from the Easter Bunny. She had a baby-fied version of our annual egg hunt and got a Rocktivity Station, as well as lots of new summer outfits. She had another nap at my parents before heading to my Aunt Amy's house for dinner. It was surely a long weekend, and I think all 3 of us could have used another day to recoup from the holiday!

We were unable to see Auntie Jen and Uncle Mike this weekend, so Jen made a special trip over to our house Monday evening to see her Goddaughter and shower her with Easter presents (a book, swimsuit and more summer clothes).

All in all, it was an EGG-stra special Easter with our sweet pea. No doubt we are beyond blessed!
