Easter

We had a lovely Easter this year. Sabine isn't quite old enough to grasp the concept of the Easter Bunny, but she was more than old enough to grasp (and readily consume..and demand more of) all the treats he brought.

Easter morning:

It took about .06 nanoseconds for her to open a plastic egg and pop the pastel-colored M&M in her mouth. I have no idea how she knew they were edible, but she did not need to stop to ask for directions.

Back for more.

She found a few "hidden" ones.

Daddy turned out to be adept at opening the plastic eggs without spilling both M&Ms inside, so he was recruited to help.

Then he quickly became the receptacle for the discarded eggs.

Once Sabine was sure that all the chocolate had been consumed (we triple-checked all the eggs), she moved on to another favorite pastime, accessorizing.

Nana Lin and Aunt Dani showed up bearing some fun sand toys and la creme de la Easter creme, an Elmo couch for Sabine. She was ecstatic! (Despite what this picture makes it look like. I think she was annoyed we made her pause for a picture.)

She showed us all the possible uses.

UP!

Down! (and giggling)

And snuggling into the fold-out sleeping bag.

We had a nice brunch once Sabine came down off the ceiling from all the excitement.

Then Sabine squeezed in a nap, and we headed up to Longmont to spend the afternoon with the extended family. Sadly, I forgot my camera for that part of the day, but we had a wonderful time, and Sabine did get to wear her Easter dress, even if she had to wear long underwear underneath since there was rain and even a few flurries in the afternoon.

(We do still have lots of copies of this picture if anyone would like one!)
