easter parade

this is supposed to be a short post to make up for the last few really long ones, but i couldn't decide on just one or two pictures to show...

easter morning lucy woke up to a surprise from the easter bunny consisting of a few pieces of candy, a little princess doll, some lip gloss, and a sheep shaped pez dispenser. it was all very exciting for her, and then we rushed off to church. only when we opened the door there was a surprise for all of us! the easter bunny had left eggs filled with candy all over our front yard. we quickly gathered them in the sprinkling rain, threw a few pieces in our diaper bag, and rushed off to church.
(lucy picked out her shoes herself- not that i'm complaining...)

the easter bunny truly spoiled us, because after church when we got to grandmother and papa's he had left eggs for us to find there too! lucy and cousin abby were very pleased to find some of the eggs here filled with nickels and dimes for their piggy banks. mom was pleased that the chocolate was dark, jett was pleased with himself for taking steps on his own, and daddy johnny just wanted good food and a nap.

john has since finished off most of the candy. lucy is only allowed one or two pieces a day- she gets a little nuts on sugar. except yesterday when i was too sick to get off of the sofa, i let her eat whatever she wanted as long as she let me lay there and rest. she polished off a bag of whopper eggs, a pack of pez candy, at least two otterpops... no wonder she didn't go to sleep until almost ten!
