easter dress


An unexpected early arrival postponed the wearing of the Easter dress. Leoni wore it a week late, but then she wanted nothing to do with pictures. This is the best of the bunch.

Removing hair clip

Holding a bunny--upside down

Refusing to look at the camera

This sums it up

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Also delayed, was our celebration of Easter.  Since we had to do things in chronological order, and not all on the same day, Easter was pushed back by Leoni's birthday.  Also, Easter Sunday is a work day here, so we were working around travis' schedule to make sure and include him in the festivities as well.

Sampling a hard boiled egg


Pretty tasty
Now for the yolk
Down the hatch


Chewing

Realizing she doesn't really like that part

Spitting it out

Carefully lowering an egg into the dye







Carefully lowering fingers in, too


Pulling out a colored egg
Adding it to the pile of eggs

Here goes another (not so careful now)


Luckily, this wasn't a toss

With the finished eggs


Loving Her New Brother




Hugs

Leoni's birthday



Because Mom was in the hospital on Leoni's birthday, we "rescheduled" for a couple days later.  Luckily, she is young enough to not know the difference.  Happy 2nd birthday!

Presents
The cake
It ended up as a pink elephant because sometimes food coloring is difficult to find here.  We were only able to find red, yellow, and green.  So, it ended up as a pink elephant. 
Mostly excited to eat it
Blowing out the candles
Before we could even cut it, she was picking off the jellybeans
And enjoying them
Always time for a little snuggle
