Easter

We had such a fun Easter this year. On Good Friday, Lorelei, my mom and I met my aunt and cousin at my grandma's house for the day. It was so nice to see everyone and enjoy a girl's day together catching up. On Saturday, we enjoyed the beautiful weather, worked in the yard, and I enjoyed a sunny run. On Sunday morning, Lorelei was greeted by her Easter basket and we went on an egg hunt in the yard. That afternoon, we went to Meson Sabika for brunch with both sides of our family. It was delicious food and a great way to spend the day!

We didn't have any Easter Bunny PJ's... so Santa is the next best thing, right? 

Learning about Egg Fights!

She won!

Lorelei talked all morning about the Easter Bunny and how SHE brought the eggs to the backyard and SHE brought the Easter Basket and treats. Lorelei was very excited for the female Easter Bunny she was envisioning to give her a hug at brunch. When the bunny was a man, she wasn't so sure anymore.

Sunday night when we were rocking before bed and talking about our fun day, she pulled her thumb out of her mouth and told me, "We saw the Daddy Easter Bunny today!" I love that she must have been wondering about that all afternoon and came up with such a perfect explanation!   

Spring is in the Air

We have finally been able to enjoy some warmer temperatures and started our Spring clean-up outside. Lorelei asks to go outside as soon as she wakes up in the morning. Only a few more weeks until I will happily head right outside with her, iced coffee in-hand!

These are a few pictures of Lorelei re-discovering the backyard after our brutal winter, and some shots of her helping me plant our first few seeds in the garden over the weekend. Pretty crazy how quickly the grass has greened up!

Planting carrots, kale, and beets: 

We've been having some serious "2 year old" moments around here lately. The other night, Lorelei insisted all she wanted for dinner was a lemon. I was pretty worn down from some earlier power struggles, so we decided not to fight that battle and indulged her. Something tells me she won't be asking for a lemon for dinner any time soon! (And we did give her real dinner after she decided the lemon wasn't really what she had in mind afterall).

Love her face: "Wait. You're really letting me have a lemon for dinner?" 

"No thanks!"
