This was a fabulous weekend for little miss Mandy Rose! We had 3 egg hunts and got together with lots of her friends for playtime! To top it off, the weather was perfect! Temps in the 70's & 80's and bright sunshine!
The weekend started with a community Easter egg hunt in Augusta with the Dresher's. Cassidy kept Mandy Rose entertained by tickling her while waiting for the hunt to begin! She LOVES the Dresher kids!
The anticipation of hunting for eggs was intense!
And, they are off! I didn't know if Mandy Rose would understand the concept of rushing to pick up eggs, but I needn't have worried! She was "hoovering" them up with the best of 'em! She had a nice pile of eggs at the end. Momma had to explain why she was getting rid of the gum, but she still got alot of candy.
I haven't let Mandy Rose have gum yet because I am dreading issues of gum stuck in her hair, the carpet, on the furniture.... I just tell her it is sticky, nasty stuff and so far she is buying my story!
Success!!
Saturday evening, we had dinner with the Montieth's & Ewing's. Four little girls from China, aged 3 to 6 played for hours while their parents got some adult conversation! Met all of our needs! LOL! The girls played very well together and we didn't need to intervene in any fights or disagreements. It is wonderful to watch these girls knowing they all started their lives in orphanages half a world away and now they are friends!
Easter morning dawned beautiful! Daddy had hidden our eggs in the front yard so it was time for Mandy Rose to find them!
Such a pretty girl and sooooo happy!
She needed a little guidance, but you could tell when she spotted an egg! She would take off running saying, "There's one!"
The obligatory pose along the wall in front of our house! It's kinda like the hutch inside...serves as a backdrop for posed pics!
Daffodils, tulips and hyacinths are all in bloom in my yard! I LOVE Spring! Those cheerful flowers announcing the new season!
Later in the day, we went to our friends, the Keech's, for a barbeque and egg hunt. They put over 5 dozen eggs in their yard just for Mandy Rose! And, that was toned down from what they would usually do because I protested about it being too much!!! They had a blast spoiling our little girl! Brenda Keech has become a good friend from school. We have classes together and she is also working to get into the medical technology program. She and her husband, Ron, are the nicest people! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed yummy grilled steaks and chicken!
This is her "toned down" haul!!
All in all it was a terrific weekend! I am so thankful for my daughter, getting to watch her experience the fun things of childhood, the friends we have, and great weather!
