Easter!

This year is Mireya's second Easter, but it feels a lot more like her first, considering that she wasn't even quite two months old last year. Being over 13 months old meant that she was able to really participate and it was a blast! When she woke up, the Easter bunny had brought her a huge basket and it was filled with all kinds of goodies! It had several little stuffed animals, a giant rubber ducky dressed up as a bunny, several books, lots of brightly colored eggs and quite a bit of chocolate candy for a one-year-old. She had so much fun going through it! We gave her the cutest big stuffed bunny and a little Mireya sized basket that she can carry around as a purse. I think it's safe to say that she was thoroughly spoiled.

We let her play with everything and run around in her pjs all morning. It was just so much fun watching her go through everything and she had the biggest smile on her face the whole time. Her favorite things were the mini chocolate eggs and the books, not surprisingly. I think in the last three days we have read those books a dozen times each.

In the evening we had family over for an Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt. I "hid" a bunch of giant Easter eggs around the living room and by the time she got to the second egg, she knew egg-actly :) what she was doing. She would race over to the next egg, shake it and when she could hear the thing inside her little face would light up. She would bring them over to me to open and it was so great to see how egg-cited :) she got when she found her surprise inside. She was by far the most thrilled by the eggs with chocolate inside. She ended up with her cheeks so full that she looked like a chipmunk and she had melted chocolate running down her chin. It was hysterical.

The next morning, as soon as she got up, she ran into the living room looking for the eggs again. I hadn't cleaned them up yet and so she just kept bringing them to me and when there was nothing inside she would get this sad little disappointed look on her face. She still had plenty of leftover chocolate, so I finally just filled several eggs and let her "find" them again. It was the same egg-citement :) as the day before and it was awesome. I definitely had as much fun as she did. I love my sweet little Mookie so much!!! She couldn't be more precious and adorable! Speaking of which, there aren't even words for how I feel about her in the photos we took of her in her Easter dress. Oh my goodness she's beautiful!
