It's Easter...Happy Easter! We were so excited for today. Olivia was so little last year, and pretty much just slept all day, so this year felt like our REAL first Easter with her. We were up bright and early, got dressed, and it was time to rummage through the Easter basket. We don't do the candy thing, so she got lots of great "dollar spot" stuff...a slinky, a light up toy, some felt flowers, some bunny ears, some sidewalk chalk and a little wind up chicken toy. I will confess...we did put two little tins of candy in there...one for Christian and one for me :) She loved everything, it was fun to watch her go through it. Then, we had a quick breakfast (and, during this breakfast, she made her first real attempt at using the fork herself! Very exciting), while I went outside to hide her eggs. We dyed eggs a couple weeks back, so I hid those around the backyard. After breakfast, we stepped out and started on our hunt...and it was SO beautiful outside, perfect day for an egg hunt! She had so much fun looking around and collecting all of her eggs, she did such a great job! After she found all of them, she proceeded to dump them out and "collect" them again...over and over again. In the process, she managed to break every single egg, which grossed her out completely. Finally, we headed inside and relaxed for the rest of the morning. She went down for a nap a bit later, and Christian and I got ready for the day.
After nap time, we got her dressed in her Easter best, and were off to dinner with my family. It was nice to see everybody, but my grandparents decided to take us all out to eat this year rather than cook, and being out to eat didn't give us much of a change to really catch up with anyone. After dinner, we had to skip out right away to stop over to his parents house. They wanted to do an egg hunt with all of the kids, and, with his sister moving, it may be our last holiday together with them for quite a while. Olivia had a blast, as usual, running around the playing with the girls.
She passed out on the way home, and that was that! The nights have still been rough, including tonight. She kept waking up, crying (with that painful tone to it), so we broke down and gave her some Tylenol. I hate seeing her in so much pain, it just breaks my heart!
