Wrapping up the Easter Festivities

Things have been busier than usual around here and I have to confess-- a little embarrassedly-- that holiday festivities like dyeing Easter eggs and getting the children's Easter baskets ready (not to mention everyday things like doing laundry and washing dishes) would not have been possible over the last couple weeks if Grammie and Grampie hadn't been here to help out. Huge thanks to them both for all the help they've provided. J and I are so lucky.

Here are the last of my favorite Easter photos for your viewing enjoyment. The purple dress is R's Easter dress, a gift from Grammie and Grampie. She LOVES it. And I love that it will also make a great summery dress for her to wear. She also received a little gardening kit, complete with tiny watering can. Every day she wants to go out and water the garden, and insists that we fill up her can with the hose so she can painstakingly pour it out over the line of radish seedlings we have coming up.

Here's R opening her Easter basket from Grammie and Grampie. The hat was part of the gift, and it's been her favorite thing to wear since she got it.



I love that RUS looks like such a little man in his Easter outfit, also a gift from Grammie and Grampie. Here he is sitting next to R's Easter basket from us, which included some sidewalk chalk, "The Muppets Take Manhattan" and a plastic egg with M&Ms in it.

And, I just realized, looking through these pictures (all the ones posted in this post are from Grammie's camera): THANK GOODNESS for grandparents who remember to take pictures of the baby! I have been seriously negligent in taking pictures lately and I am thankful that I have these wonderful ones of RUS. Can you believe he is almost 6 months old already? Yikes!
I think he likes the forsythia!!
