First Easter Egg Hunt

Today we took Emma to a local church for her first Easter Egg Hunt. It was incredible. They had all of these fields for different aged children and every 15 minutes they had an Easter Egg Hunt. But it wasn't really a hunt - more like a free for all as toddlers ran all over the field and picked up as many eggs as possible. You could go back and hunt as many times as you'd like. They said they prepared over 40,000 eggs for the event!

There was also a petting zoo with baby chicks, goats, llama, calf, turkey and rabbits. Emma loved petting the goats and particularly the rabbits. We then went inside one of the buildings where there was so much to do. Emma and I attempted to make a paper plate bunny but considering my crafty level - we were unsuccessful. Then we waited in the longest line ever for a pink flower balloon, during which Emma started to fall asleep. Once she got the balloon she loved it! We had a great time and can't wait to go back next year!

Happy Sweet 16...months

Where has the time gone? I can hardly remember 16 months ago when Emma wasn't even 12 hours old yet. She has become quite the little girl with a big heart and hysterical personality! Every day she surprises us with new words, sounds or comments. She's great at saying "no" in this extremely cute yet whiny sound! She loves to sing and dance, read books, color and lately go to one of our local parks and take a ride on a swing or go down the slide. She is truly becoming a little independent person - and it seems like I just blinked and 16 months went flying by!

We took some pictures today after bath time as she seemed to have quite the lunch, with some of it still in her hair! She loves to smile for the camera now and say "cheese"!

Pebbles...

Today when I picked up Emma I noticed that her teachers did her hair today. I guess it was getting a little wild and crazy! Emma was also interested in trying on my sunglasses.

Happy Saint Patty's Day 2010

We took some pictures of Emma today to celebrate her Irish heritage. There were so many to pick from and of course I couldn't make up my mind, so I just put them all up here!

But first here's a recent picture of Emma coloring during dinner!
