Baskets & Bunnies

Sarah welcomes her first Easter basket while sittin pretty on Daddy's lap... and tightly clutching her Cinderella Pez.

Easter Eggstravaganza

This weekend our neighborhood put on their annual Easter event which involved about 17,000 filled eggs, 5 hunt circles (divided by age group... and yes, they even had a circle for Sarah's non-mobile age group), carnival games, Jello egg eating contests, a giant inflatable slide and more. We initially thought it would be a moderately sized event but were astounded at the number of families who attended. Although Sarah didn't seem to get too excited about it, we had fun watching all the kids line up around their egg circles and pounce on the colorful plastic bobs like piranha's on fresh meat. We're sure the squeals and cries could be heard 'round the world.

Thanksgiving Feasts and First Bites

With the delicious smells of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing filling the air, we all remember to thank the important things that make consuming these treats possible... like teeth. No, not all of us contain these necessary tools. However, with Sarah's first little tooth barely poking through her bottom gums at four and a half months old, we had to make some Thanksgiving Day adjustments. The semi-solid mush, i.e. rice cereal, is by no means a fair replacement for the typical holiday spread. Yet, we all must start somewhere and Sarah's feast was definitely an enjoyable one.
