Happy Easter 2012

We celebrated Easter all weekend long. Saturday morning we headed over to our local giant park where they do a huge Easter Egg hunt for ages 0-12 with categories for all the ages.

Roweyn did great, waiting oh so patiently to start. We saw friends and doggies in the park and did lots of people watching while we waited.

And then it was show time! Roweyn went straight for the eggs grabbing any she could find and within a minute it was over. There were so many people it went by so fast! After the park we came home and rested a bit before heading out to another park to meet up with a friend. After we got home from that park Roweyn was very worn out and took a nice nap.

While she was napping I was able to get her Easter basket all ready and hidden for Easter day. And Easter morning she ran right to it and opened it up! Finding all sorts of goodies in it!

She found some treats and stickers in the eggs, new activity coloring books, bubbles and some new shoes too!

After she was done opening her basket, we waited for all our family to arrive so we could have an Easter Egg hunt outside, as well as a nice brunch and then head to the park for another Easter Egg hunt!

After hiding all the Eggs (I think there was more than 100 hidden), Roweyn, my sister Tayelor and my niece Devyn who's 7 started the hunt.

Showing us their loot after the hunt! Then it was brunch time and after that we went to the park, where Roweyn was being surprisingly shy during the hunt after doing so well with the others. But she snapped out of it quickly and found lots of goodies and couldn't wait to show us.

My darling girl and me. And my favorite picture from the day...my brother Trevor, Roweyn and me. Apparently I didn't get the memo about sticking my tongue out!

All the girls with the Easter Bunny!

We had a wonderful Easter but it was very busy and by the afternoon I was exhausted. Our family all left and I passed out with Rowe when I put her down for a late nap. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing and it was the perfect way to end the Holiday. 

Hope everyone else had just as great of a day!

Another photo my Mom took of Roweyn. One of my new favorite photos too! I just love how sweet she looks in that darling dress. #Flashbackfriday Roweyn's first Easter at almost 4 months old.

#Flashbackfriday Roweyn's second Easter with the Easter bunny! Roweyn and a giant Easter Egg. She's obsessed with it!

Roweyn watching Coco our Chinchilla. My very first book I've read since being pregnant. I read it in a day! I always thought I just didn't have the time but I missed reading A LOT! Guess I just needed to make time for it. And I'm so glad I did!

Easter Egg hunt at Roweyn's Preschool on the playground. She LOVED it! And every time she'd open an egg she would gasp at the surprise she found inside, it was darling.

Playing on the Pirate Ship at Preschool. And enjoying her Easter snack.

Easter 2011

We had a nice low key Easter and it was pretty much perfect, besides the rain of course. Saturday I worked so I was unable to take Roweyn anywhere that was having an Easter Event but I was determined on Sunday to go to our community's annual Easter Egg Hunt right down the street from our house.


We started off with Roweyn opening her Easter basket and she loved seeing all her goodies, taking them out and sharing them with everyone else. I opted not to put any candy in her basket because what almost 16mo old needs candy anyways? I put in a few things from the whole family and some stuff I had been collecting but hadn't given to her yet. She got a couple  books, some new outfits, a couple stuffed animals, a toy blowdryer (so she could be like her Mama and do hair), a pair of sandals and some Agoo leggings that we had gotten for free. :) She is well loved, thats for sure.

I watched the weather outside all morning Sunday as it was gloomy and rainy in hopes that there would be a break by the afternoon. Roweyn and I sang "Rain, Rain Go Away So We Can Hunt for Easter Eggs" over and over while we looked outside. At 12 we started to see a break in the clouds and the sun trying to peek out, so happy about this we decided to get our stuff together and by 12:45 we were out the door heading to the park hoping that at 1 it would still be nice!


Trisha and Kashmir met us there so that they could join in on the fun too! As we waited we got to take a photo with the Easter Bunny! I tried to get Roweyn to sit on his lap without me holding her but there was no chance she was going to allow that! So once again I am in the photo with her!

After we saw the Easter Bunny we waited a few minutes longer until we could do the Egg hunt. They divided the age groups and we were in the 1-3 year olds. There was hardly anyone there, so it was perfect. There were tons of eggs and all the kids had enough and basically had their own little section to grab eggs from. Not once was there another kid around us which I found really surprising! The girls did great, they each grabbed a couple eggs and then just stood there holding them or playing with them. I think Roweyn was half asleep because she hadn't napped yet and she kept spacing out! ha

As soon as we finished and were walking away, it started sprinkling, and by the time we got to the car it was almost pouring! It couldn't have been timed more perfect! 


We headed back to the house and Trisha and Kashmir came over so the girls could spend the rest of the afternoon playing together and of course so we could have some Mama time as well! They surprised Roweyn with an Easter present which Roweyn loved. They are the sweetest friends!

Hope you all had a great Easter as well!
