Easter

Easter. The event started the day before when we attended the church run Community Egg Hunt in Tower Grove Park (A park near our house.) It had rained the entire day before, and despite the sun on this day, the park was wet and muddy. It took Harp all of two minutes to fall and get dirty, and it was at that point (i have to admit) I turned to Jeff and said "this may not be worth it." However, we stayed. I don't know how to explain Harper in open space, it's like a caged animal being released into the wild. She runs. And runs. And runs some more. With no purpose of where she is going. And like I said previously, it was wet and muddy, so much of Harper's running also turned to Harper falling. She didn't seem to care (our little linebacker doesn't cry much) so we got over it also. She didn't really care about the eggs until Jeff showed her that there was some sort of prize in them (Her favorite were the fruit snacks, the runner up were the stickers).

Easter Sunday. After church, a nap for Harper and some cooking, we headed over to Nick and Kim's for a great meal and company. Without family nearby it is always great to have good friends to share a holiday with and the Kuntz' are those people! After we ate we walked over to the park so Harp could play and we could have a little make-shift egg hunt. We filled the eggs with Cheerios, graham crackers, and chocolate chips. (The Chocolate was her fav!)


Harper's Easter Basket filled with books, stickers, soap in the shape of a duck (she is obsessed with ducks!) some eggs, and a little duck that quacks when you press on it. Harper's present to Dada; a new tie and a colored picture of her and baby brother (if they were bunnies). I may have helped a little. Harper getting into her basket.

Her lamb ears. We found these at Hobby Lobby. After we (yes, we) shopped in them; I couldn't help but buy them for her.
