Happy Easter

Here's hoping everyone had a great weekend, and that the Easter Bunny visited you with lots of goods. If not, a silly face or two from Emma can't hurt, right?


Saturday morning, Emma and Daddy woke up early and made breakfast. Emma was a stellar chef, helping mix the pancake batter and devouring them with equal skill. She's obviously gotten her beauty rest.






Then it was time for some Easter-themed projects.


And more silly faces, 'Just a little off the top,' she says. What would Easter weekend be without bunny ears? Mommy, Daddy, and Emma donned them for the day.














Emma asked Daddy to help make the Easter Bunny a card, so he obliged with one wishing the Easter Bunny enough time to take "breaks," as long as it was away from Emma's basket. She, of course, got a kick out of it, leading to her own inspired works.

Emma also got back into her little mp3 player, doing more projects while listening and singing. She's certainly into music, making up her own songs on the spot, mostly nutty gibberish that puts Mommy and Daddy in stitches.



Nana Hoover also phoned into a very focused Bunny.

No B.O. for this chick.







Easter Sunday, Emma woke at 6:30am, coaxing a groggy Mommy and Daddy down to find her goodies. Lots of "Oh my gosh!" "How did he know?" and "I can't believe it," could be heard. Keeping with tradition, the Easter Bunny also picked up one hideously beautiful nightgown--bright pink and stamped with Disney princess glory. This one came with tiny slippers and a magic wand. This, Mommy and Daddy found, was somehow near-impossible to deter Emma from wearing the entire day.


Then it was off to Emma's friends, Chloe and Billy, to meet up with some other friends for a big Easter brunch. Guess which ones Emma?


To cap it off, Emma went to Park Maculough Mansion for a community Easter egg hunt. The big guy was also there!


Each partition was divided by age group, with a few select golden eggs, ones with cash value, hidden throughout. Emma and Daddy came so close to finding the major prize, but she scored tons of candy and had even more fun in the mad dash.








She even, cautiously, got up close and personal with a oddly decorated horse. She loved the look.





As the afternoon slid into napping hour, Emma started to agree she was "sleepy," which essentially signifies she's that tired, she could probably go to sleep in the grass.





Rejuvenated, our little princess woke to find some overlooked goodies in the yard. It seemed we left the house without noticing those Easter eggs hidden throughout. This outfit was put Emma's choosing, and you'll see that aforementioned nightgown making an appearance under those upper layers.


Getting warmer.



"Oh my, a dollar."








Running to the next spot with Mommy.

Here's Emma racing inside to assess the loot.

The Hoover family sends Happy Easter wishes to all loved ones and friends out there in digital land. Hoping you and yours had a lovely weekend.
