Sweet Sophie in her Easter Dress

A little Sweet on Easter....
Finding the Easter Eggs...

Frank, Autumn & Sophia

Easter Day 2008!

Easter Sunday was pleasant. Frank was still under the weather, but still got up early to hide eggs around the house. Later in the afternoon, we had a small change hunt for Sophie in the back yard. I cooked a small dinner since everyone has been feeling a bit sick. Sophie and her dad colored Easter Eggs for the first time. So overall we had a good day. We are going to celebrate with Frank's parents this weekend. Yummy, I cannot wait for her Easter Traditional Food...

Sophie would like to thank everyone for all the great Easter Baskets and Cards. It means so much to Frank and I also...

LOL

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail & I Hope He Knows How To Spell!!!

Today turned out to be a fun day. I was a disappointed for Sophie that Frank and Nona were unable to attend the Easter activities and traditional lunch for pizza after the egg hunt due to the flu. Frank is feeling a bit better!

Sophie, Mimi and I started our morning by attending the Joseph Beth Egg Hunt and meeting Peter Rabbit. What a great time. The egg hunt was fantastic and the stories were great. Fun had by all. I am so excited my pictures turned out really well. The big bonus they gave away no candy yeah...

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail, stopping through the bunny trail
to get his picture taken with Miss Sophie...

Hippity, Hoppity, Easter is on it's way...

After the egg hunt we raced across town to church for the annual egg hunt. How much fun. This year, Sophie has turned into the egg hunter. First we could look out the window at the church and see the eggs in the court yard. Sophie loudly says oh my goodness look at the eggs. Good lord... After we lined up at the court yard, the head of the hunt counted down to three. Sophie passed about 50 eggs and all the kids that stopped and went after the eggs at the beginning, went straight to the back and cleaned house. Then she saw it... Eggs ok.. She saw the light, Fruit snacks. Majority of the kids were passing up the fruit snacks and running for the eggs, my smart Sophie, she ran behind them and cleaned out the fruit snacks. I will not have to purchase for awhile. My smart consumer

And we are off to look for eggs...

Mommy, I found one....

Stop for a cheese...
The Scariest Easter Bunny..

Papa met us at the church and we went for lunch at the same place we went last year. I cannot think of the name of it at this time. We had so much fun... Sophie really enjoyed having lunch with her papa.

Papa's Girl...

Off and running to Meir for more egg fun. Meir had treats and activities for the kids. Sophie was thrilled with her bunny pin and stickers. At this time, I am pooped. We headed home for a nap. Sophie went down for a 3o minute nap. During this time Aunt Carolyn aka Aunt Dee Dee (we have know idea why) called and asked us to come over for Sophie's basket. Oh my lord more candy... Sophie had her first ring pop tonight and she is in love with that... So off to Sams Club. My favorite store these days. The next thing, I know it is 7:00 and we need to eat dinner. So we went to Cheddars had a great dinner and now Sophie sleeps. I am excited for Easter morning. I love watching her get so jazzed about everything. She is such a great kid.

I hope eveyone has a wonderful Easter...

Prayers for the following important people in my life:

Frank and Nona for having the flu. I hope you recover soon...

John B. please recover soon from your surgery

Amy, my blog pal... Keep the faith girl.. Prayer for her going through some personal stuff...

Prayers for all my family and friends that you stay well, healthy and enjoy the holiday with your family and loved ones...

Oranges, Candy and a the Easter Bunny...

I love Oranges... I Love Oranges.... I Love Oranges... Did I say, I Love Oranges....

Did I say, I love Oranges...

I can only imagine that my child is thinking Cha Ching look at all this candy....

Posing with Quackers and her loot....

The Lady behind the candy... Auntie Beth as Sophie calls her....

4 hours after the sugar high... I also found out this morning that plus all the sugar she ate out of her basket. Beth gave her candy from the basket, we made her... She woke up at 7:00 bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Wishing your family and Happy Easter!

Our weekend is starting out not so good. Frank has taken ill. I know he is ill when he thinking of coming home early from work... I have been under the weather with a serious sinus, cold yucky sneezing snot thing.. Every time, I sneeze, Sophie runs for cover... We have some many things planned for tomorrow, I hope everyone will be healthy enough to participate. We will start by going to meet Peter Cotton Tail and Easter Egg Hunt at Joseph Beth. Then on to church for the annual egg hunt. Hopefully, meeting up with Alex and Megan for lunch or mid afternoon. Congrats on the Baby! We are so Happy for you both...

Sophie was sooo good at the Shriners Hospital today. She handed the kids their treat bags, played in the rec room and told the security guard that she would go to school if she poop's in the potty. I am sure that was the highlight of his day...

I have to giggle when she comes up to me so serious and tells me mom we have a promblem. Her promblems consist of the dog took her toy, she lost her sock, etc. But it is still cute.

At dinner this evening, my little charmer started chatting with a man as he walked past our table. She gave him a cracker and told him to give it to his mommy. Granted he was probably sixty some years old. She told this man our whole life story, how many cats we have, dogs, favorite food etc. I thank the man for being so kind...

Enough of my rambles the shopper is going to bed...

Easter, Is On It's Way... Hip Hip Hooray!

Last night, Sophie and I were at the table making Easter Baskets for our neighbor's and friends. When I heard some voices ( no not in my head) and Charlie and Mrs. Murphy was at the door with a huge box of FLa. Oranges. What a great Easter Surprise... I cannot wait to post the pics of Sophie biting into the Orange like an apple. She loved it....

Tonight, our friend Beth came over and when Sophie saw her walking up the walk she let out a yell and darted for the door. I looked up and saw a huge Easter basket over flowing. Good God, I have never in my life seen so much candy. Sophie kept saying, mom look at all this candy. Mom bubble gum, mom krabby patties, mom two succers. She was going nuts, I am thinking oh my god look at all this candy... What a lovely surprise and Sophia is thrilled to pieces with her loot. Easter is just starting.

Tomorrow a.m. we are heading to Shriners Hospital to hand out Easter treat bags to the children. Sophie helped today putting the bags together and she is really excited about going with me and visting all the kids. She has such a giving heart. She started to eat one of the marshmallow bunnies and told her they were for the kids and she said ok... I will post more later.

I am SICK.... Sinus infection Sucks.... I am heading to bed. LoL and Happy Easter...

Hoppy Spring!

She sat very well and listen to two stories had her snacks of gummy fruit snacks and popcorn. You can win points with Sophie through her tummy. It has been a busy week at our house the weather is beautiful today and hopefully we will find a little time for a stroll at the park this evening.

First Trip to the Dentist....

As promised, here are the pictures of Sophie's first trip to the dentist. As you can tell, she did well. Of course she did, they had t.v.

She doesn't care that her teeth are being looked at she is watching Dragon Tales...

The first time you were put in my arms, I cried.. What a sureal moment. I was exhausted from the trip, I was excited and could not belive after such a long wait, I was actually going to hold you, kiss you and give you a bath... . A week, I will never forget. It was real, for the first time, you were ours, FOREVER....
