Easter 2010

(Yes, I made this cake. More on that in a later post)

Boy what a difference a year makes! This was Mia last Easter...

This was her this Easter...




Easter weekend was fantastic. And super busy.

We went to our neighbor's Easter egg hunt on Saturday. Mia's first Easter egg hunt. She had a blast. She didn't care much about the Easter eggs. She would rather play with the rocks, but she had a great time anyway.



The Easter Bunny made an appearance. Mia is such a brave girl. Didn't even flinch. He looked a little scary to me...


A look of confusion "what am I supposed to be doing?"...

This is a staged photo taken just after she was handed an egg. We tried and tried, but in the end she just didn't really care about the eggs...


Eventually, she decided to take Daddy for a walk. Toward more rocks. See her pointing? Yea, that's for the rocks she sees up ahead...


Then came the baby ducks....

This is what I love about her. She has no fear. When I was a kid, I probably would have been terrified of these cute, harmless little duckies. But our Mia handles them without trepidation...
After the hunt, we went home for a long nap and to prepare for the next day's activities. Easter Sunday we got all gussied up and headed for church. I am proud to say we actually made it to the early church service with no hiccups. After church we hosted the Easter dinner for the Schnelle family. Not all the family was able to make it. They were greatly missed, but we had a great time talking and eating yummy food. Unfortunately, nasty storms were headed our way and our day was cut short. I don't know where my mind was, but it was not on taking pictures of Easter dinner. However, we did get some incredible photos of Mia in her Easter dress at church.

Mia looked absolutely adorable in her Easter dress. We got some incredible pictures. But you will have to come back tomorrow to see!
