Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a nice Easter, if you celebrate the holiday.  We do, and the Easter bunny came to our house last night and left Karina a nice basket full of peanut safe food and some toys.  She got some cookies, some colorful Goldfish crackers, and some Cadbury mini eggs (not the cream ones, the little chocolate ones).  She also got some Elmo socks, a Sesame Street notebook to write her "messages" in, a headband (purple, of course), some Little People, and a toy dog by Schleich.  She thought the best part was reorganizing the basket.  She took all the Cadbury eggs out of the big tin they were in and put them into the empty plastic eggs left from the morning's Easter egg hunt at church.

That was fun, too; we hide all the eggs on the school playground and then the little ones come find them.  They had a peanut safe area this year, but Karina was the only peanut-allergic child, so there was no way she could take all those eggs home. Plus it was H-O-T on that playground!  We were all sweaty and ready to go in.  Karina didn't get too many eggs, but that's fine with me.


Then at my mom's, she had baskets for everyone, and we all got some of these amazing homemade eggs with this delicious cream in them.  They are super rich, and of course Karina went for them like crazy.  She ate one whole one at Mom's house and then grabbed another when I wasn't looking when we got home.  I'm worried she might have eaten another one at some point because one is missing.  What a little turkey.  I hope she doesn't throw up in the middle of the night!

She ate her dinner pretty well though.  It was ham, and she likes ham.  I think that's so funny because there is a lot she just won't eat, but she ate a whole small piece of ham tonight.  I was happy.  She ate a bunch of strawberries too and some mandarin oranges.  Then she invented a new diving game with David's girlfriend Erin, where she put the stool close to the couch where Erin was sitting and sort of leaped off of it onto Erin's lap.  She was very close, and Erin would catch her, so it wasn't dangerous or scary.  Then she would do it with David, moving the stool and positioning it just so.  What was funniest was that every time she'd put it by Erin, we'd watch her jump and laugh along with her.  Then she'd put it over by David and my mom would say, "Catch her, Dave!".  As if he wouldn't!  It was funny.

Overall we had a really nice day, and I hope that all of you did, too.  Whether you celebrate the day or not, I hope it was a nice one!

So funny about the diving game and your mom's reaction. lol

Those cream eggs are unbelievably rich. She IS a little turkey for snagging an extra one of those...or two.
