Some Late Easter Pictures...

One of the things about having a toddler is that as they get older, the holidays really start to be more fun, and not just for them, for the parents too! When Maeve was less than a year old, the holidays were fun, it gave us an excuse to dress her up in a cute dress and have her hang out with all the family that doesn't get to see her to often. Since she is now much older, talking, running, climbing, ect, she can really start to grasp the holidays. Christmas and other people's birthday's she is right there ripping off wrapping paper. On Thanksgiving she is cruising around "sampling" food from everyone.

To start off the Easter holiday, Shannon and Maeve colored Easter eggs! I had to go to work (and to be honest, don't really enjoy coloring Easter eggs, but I would do it for Maeve!) but my Mom came down and took pictures. Maeve really liked it and loved putting the little stickers on.

For Easter this year, we were going to my parents house. My Mom was hosting it again this year and having us, Michael, my aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins over. Since Maeve is all about running around and climbing, we decided we would hide Easter eggs this year. She loved it! She actually got a trial run the day before with Shannon's dad who came over and hid a couple outside. The ones she found at my parent's house were all inside, but she found them all! She didn't even care that there were treats inside them, she just wanted to keep finding them!

After Maeve was done finding her Easter eggs, we all enjoyed a wonderful Easter dinner! Thanks Mom!

After dinner, we went outside and helped Maeve fly her very first kite. Between my brother Michael and I, I think we had the kite in the air about 90 seconds or so. Maeve loved it! She loves looking in the sky for birds and planes and when she saw her Dora kite, she couldn't stop giggling!

I can't wait for next Easter!
