Easter Sunday

Easter finally arrived for the Princess! It definitely was a full week of pre-festivities, so Sky was ready! She woke up that Sunday morning and noticed that Mr. Bunny came and scattered eggs inside her home. She was so excited to gather up her goodies and wasted no time. After all, this marked her third egg hunt in just just eight days!
Let the hunt begin..... 


Showing Daddy a large blue egg.... 



Scanning her goodies! 
After breakfast, the Princess got ready up for church. Auntie Nicola & Uncle Bogie bought her two gorgeous Easter dresses. She chose to wear the frilly lilac dress and picked out her pretty gold shoes from her Auntie Kevie and Uncle "Dog" Larry. Of course, she didn't forget the pink pearls. Skyler is all 100% girl. Speaking of girl, isn't our Angel growing into a beautiful girl?!
We enjoyed a lovely church service and praised our Lord for His many blessings! When we arrived home, the Easter Bunny left Skyler more eggs to hunt in the front yard. She grabbed her basket and stayed extra giddy.



Gammey drove up and her excitement level tripled!


With Gammey's help and an extra basket, the counting began. Yes, Sky can count past 30. She can sing her ABC's and also every nursery rhyme. Her vocabulary is grand and how she forms such complex sentences, continues to blow our minds!

We were so happy Gammey came to spend the entire day with us. She even stayed the night! Before our delicious Leg of Lamb meal, Sky opened her gifts from Gammey. Talk about one elated little girl! Sweet Pea received her very own electric guitar.
Overjoyed, indeed!

She also opened a case of alphabet flash cards.

And 2 boutique outfits & a pair of capris.

Sky couldn't wait to "jam" out!
Future Rock Star in the works....

After dinner, the Princess and Gammey formed their own little rock band and filled the house with much music. It was quite a show.......free too! Unless you count the cost of each aspirin her Daddy & I took! lol. I just love this picture. All we needed was a microphone!

We certainly enjoyed our Easter as it is meant to be experienced. Praising Jesus, a pastel-colored egg hunt, yummy food and wholesome family fun! Skyler is a true blessing and she is such a well loved girl. She received sweet Easter cards from her Gammey, Auntie Nicola & Uncle Bogie, Ron (Uncle Bogie's brother) Auntie Kevie & Uncle "Dog" and also Bob, Sandi & Bobby Jr (Tom's cousins) from Connecticut. Hope you don't mind me sharing....


Keeping in tradition (yeap, we love some traditions) Auntie Kevie & Uncle Larry sent Sky the 2012 Hallmark's Disney "Pull My Ears" Donald Duck. Each Easter, they have added to her Hallmark Bunny collection. And those gorgeous dresses.....well, it will be quite some time before we have to purchase the Princess a holiday dress. Another tradition started by her Auntie Nicola & Uncle Bogie! 
Tom and I do hope you all enjoyed God's gift of love while celebrating Easter with family and friends!
