I am loving holidays so much this year now that I am old enough to participate more! I had lots of fun hunting and dyeing Easter eggs!
Posing at the church Easter egg hunt
First, the weekend before Easter there was an Easter egg hunt at Nana & Papa's church. I went with Mama and Nana. There were sooooo many kids there, and they were all having so much fun! Before the hunt, there were games and crafts, including decorating cookies (yum!). Then, we all went outside together. They had 2 separate hunts, one for the bigger kids, and one for the little kids like me. The Easter egg hunt was on the morning of Mama's friend Sara's wedding, which meant my Godparents were also in town, so after the hunt we got to go out to brunch with them. What a fun day!
Trying the cookie I decorated with Mama…yummy!
I found a pretty painted egg!

Later that weekend, we also dyed some Easter eggs at home. That's where you take the eggs and put them in colored water, and then when they come out, they're colored, too! It was so much fun! It was my very favorite part of Easter!
Colors all lined up and excited to get started!
Here we go...
Waiting and watching...
Yay yellow!
Check out this video of me dyeing my first Easter eggs, too:
The next weekend was Easter. I was supposed to go over to my friends' Molly and Charlotte's house the Saturday before for another Easter egg hunt, but I got sick with the stomach flu in the car on the way there. I was still sick on Sunday, so we didn't get to go to church. We opened my basket at home, and then I took a 3 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon. I was feeling a little bit better after that, so we decided to go to Nana and Papa's house for Easter dinner. I got to hunt a few eggs on the patio and even got 2 more Easter baskets from Nana & Papa and Great Grandpa & Grandma Killion. Mama was happy that I at least got to wear my Easter dress and take a couple of family pictures!
