Easter Weekend

We couldn't have asked for a better Easter weekend. We had a great time celebrating with friends and it was nice not to spend the holiday alone. On Saturday Ella participated in the annual giant Easter Egg hunt at Ft. Sill. There were over 30,000 eggs. My girl collected 4! haha She didn't care for the egg hunt as much as the petting zoo. I think she would have stayed in there for hours if I let her. I love that she's not afraid of animals. I was of course more afraid of those baby goats than she was (I just picture them eating her outfit--Thank you Aunt Bunny for Ella's adorable dress!). She had her first tour of a firetruck and loved it. I couldn't believe the monster pout on her face when I told her it was time to get out of the truck. Maybe she thought she had to give back the fabulous hat;) Later that night we colored eggs (definitely missed Daddy's egg coloring skills) and just enjoyed some QT mama and daughter.

Look at that pout!
I really can't go back on the truck mommy??


She wanted NO help. "I do it mama! I color the eggs!"
"I did it!"
Is there anything sweeter than this face? ;)
Happy Easter! We missed you Daddy.
