On Saturday night, Dave and I colored eggs while Lucy supervised in her high chair over a plate of cheese, carrots and bread...she got an egg decorating kit in the mail with her Easter card from GranJan and I decorated a couple of eggs for her with stickers and wings and sat them on her tray...while I was getting ready to take the picture, she tore a wing off of one of them and stuck it in her mouth...she's a good helper!
Daddy got creative, as usual, and drew a bunny on his red egg! Look real close!
When we woke up on Sunday morning, the Easter bunny had come!
Soon it was time to fetch Great Grandma Herman for church...we had hoped Lucy might take a nap during church since it was about that time but Aunt Pam sat next to us and the contents of her purse were far too interesting! Aunt Pam let Lucy play with her change purse (shakey, shakey!) and various other items! Lucy was a pretty good girl and let me hold her during church and only squirmed to try to free herself a few times, and not until close to the end. Daddy smelled something offending and sent us girls off to the ladies room about half way through but it was a false alarm...though Lucy enjoyed a few minutes of free time when I let her walk around a bit. We even got to see another great grandmother - Great Granny Meyers - after church on the way to the car!
After church it was time for brunch at GranJan's and Lucy finally fell asleep...as we were pulling out of the parking lot after church! Though it never works, daddy and I tried to keep Lucy asleep once we got there and quietly took her out of her carseat and put her into her stroller and walked down GranJan and Grandpa's long driveway...but at the end, she was wide awake and ready to party!
I made Lucy a plate - goetta, scrambled eggs, watermelon, cantaloupe and grapes.
She has tried a bite or two of goetta before but has never really eaten it and hadn't yet tried watermelon or cantaloupe. She's tried scrambled eggs before but hasn't really eaten those, either...she does, however, eat grapes - frequently and in large quantities.
My little smartie managed to pick out all of the grapes and leave everything else on the tray...then looked up at me with those big blue eyes and signed "more." Dr. D. said to keep trying new foods and foods she's previously declined but this girl knows what she likes and is becoming a bit picky!
Her favorites are bread, cheese, most fruits (favoring blueberries and grapes...not sure why she wouldn't have anything to do with the melons...), yogurt and all snacks (cookies, animal crackers, puffs, Cheerios).
By the time we left Grandpa and GranJan's house, Lucy was very tired again...she fell asleep in the car quickly so I drove around while she (and daddy!) got a good nap in. We got to Great Grandpa and Great Granny's just in time for the egg hunt (and a few quick pics with mom and dad!)
I lost my favorite sunglasses a couple of weeks ago and Lucy used my last pair to break her fall while walking in the driveway the very next day so I needed a new pair...L helped me pick these out at TJ Maxx and I was walking up to my baby brother to ask him if he liked my new shades and before I could ask, he said, "Hey! You look like Willie Wonka!" What do you think of the new shades?

Isn't her Easter dress so pretty?!? It was her birthday gift from my friend Gina at work.
Checking out the contents of the plastic eggs she found with Uncle Jason...some money (boring!!) and some iced animal crackers (yum!) More, please!
Time to go inside for dinner (Lucy ate - surprise, surprise - cheese! And bread and applesauce...she turned down offers of green beans and baked beans). After dinner she was also offered a cake ball, which she crumbled, and various candies...she didn't really want much to do with any of the sweets.
While we were inside, it was also time to check out her Easter basket from Great Granny:
A cool new Minnie Mouse cup and some yummy honey bunnies (and chocolate bunnies!)
Back to the car for one more stop - at Grandma and Troy's house!
Violet must have told them what Lucy's favorite color is:
Believe it or not, when Lucy caught a glimpse of the yogurt melts and puffs, she just had to open them and snack away!
By the end of the night, she'd had way too many puffs and yogurt melts, and had sampled many kinds of candies at family members' urgings and I was holding her while we said our goodbyes...I handed her over to daddy and it turns out I did so just in the nick of time - she barfed on dad! It was just a little bit and she didn't seem to realize she'd done it (though it was a bit stinky!) but we gave her a drink of water while Grandma cleaned daddy's shirt off...then it was finally time to say goodbye!
I'd say a little bit of barf at the end of the night signifies a very happy Easter!
