Meeting the Easter Bunny

Our Squadron held it's annual kids Easter party a little early this year, but as you can see we were fortunate to be blessed with an absolutely perfect day for it!! After all the recent up and down weather, 75 one day and snowing the next you can imagine how nervous the girls planning it must have been this past week. But it was truly a gorgeous day and the kids all had a great time so it worked out. Julia slept on the way to the party and on the way home, we were kind of off the beaten path aways so at least she got some sleep today. The party did fall right in the middle of her nap time, so she was pretty quiet right up til the egg hunt. There are of course more videos and pictures on Dropshots, but I'll warn you they include a lot of moving around so be prepared. LOL.

Have I mentioned lately that Julia is a "GIRL"??! LOL By that I mean she is truly becoming a girlie girl more and more the older she gets. She could not wait to get this dress on today and stood ever so still for me to put her hair quickly in pigtails because of course we were running behind. then checked herself out in the mirror before we left and I wish I had had the camera for the smile, I guess she liked the result. I promise you there really were pigtails under all those ribbons!

She absolutely loves to dress up! So grandma's and aunties if you're ever lacking in ideas for something to get her, summer dresses would be a hit every time I promise you! Her eyes light up and she says "gimme, gimme please." I wish I could say I was kidding. Auntie Alexa we were going through sorting out clothes you handed down to us, gosh I have no idea when you gave us these bags I found, but I was sure they were size 4's, imagine my surprise to find 2 whole bags of clothes in size 3's. That she is wearing RIGHT NOW! I think we just tripled her wardrobe! Now I really need to pick out a dresser for this girl!! You should have seen the fashion show as Julia tried almost all of it on. The sad part is, unless she has a major slow down and oh isn't she due to slow down here soon, the 3's will not fit for long. As it is, I think if the dress runs at all short, I'll be looking at 4's for her. Crazy isn't it?? That's just for DRESSES though, everything else I think she's fine in 3's for awhile, she's just so tall that dresses tend to look and I guess even feel short on her. She's always trying to tug at the hem to make it longer. lol. I think she likes the longer styles better. She's so funny.

All in all, we've had a really good week and with it starting to warm up hopefully a bit more consistently it will just get better from here on out.
