Happy Easter everyone! We have had a lovely day reflecting on the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Such a wonderful reason to celebrate. Though I must say that weather-wise it has been anything but springlike -- it has been so cold it has felt more like Valentine's Day than Easter. Despite the cold, though, I couldn't resist putting Sophie in her little Easter dress. I am so in love with polka-dots these days - and everything is cuter in miniature baby clothes, so this dress is double cute!! Sweet little girl. :) This afternoon we pulled out my stash of plastic eggs and Sophie was in heaven.
This evening we joined our friends, Sherri and Jay R. for dinner and it was a feast! Sophie also had a blast b/c she got to play with one of her bestest buds, Ethan. More on Ethan & Sophie soon... Anyway, after dinner we subjected Sherri, Jay and Ethan to part one of our Easter traditions, a jelly bean hunt! Bryce and Jay R. hid the jelly beans while Sherri, Ethan, Sophie and I waited patiently to find the goods. Bryce is a MASTER of jelly bean disguise. It is seriously one of his great talents. He can camouflage them so well that you'll be staring right at one and not know it! Amazing. Anyway, so when they were done Sherri and I "helped" Sophie and Ethan find the beans. And wow, those babies did a great job!! ;) We did require a bit of you're-getting-hotter/colder assistance from the boys for some of the tougher hidden beans, but overall I'd say we were some seriously good sleuthers (is that a word??)! After finding all the jelly beans we placed them on the chocolate nest Bryce made (another great tradition we've picked up from his family), stuck a few chicken Peeps on the nest to keep the eggs warm, took a picture of the final product and then... ate it! Good times, good times.

Hilarious.

Happy Easter!

First of all, that dress is totally adorable! Probably the cutest easter girl dress I saw this week. :)
Second, Starburst Jelly Beans rock the Casbah--have you tried sweet tart jelly beans? Also delightful!
And definitely don't worry about the 'angsty' faces. Nikolai used to make the same type of thing and he just stopped after a while. But boy was it entertaining while it lasted!
I agree with you...polka dots are fabulous. And all the better when such a cute little girl is wearing them. We just hope we can meet her in person soon!
