Easter Part II and Cousin Camp 2012

A few days before Easter weekend I had my friends Abby and Stacy over to dye eggs with Eloise.  I had forgotten how fun this can be!

Eloise was the official sticker applicator

On Sunday morning Eloise discovered that the Easter Bunny had made a visit.  What a great surprise!

We had a lovely time at church, then returned home to participate in another Easter Egg Hunt!  Eloise is a lucky lady.  There was no competition for finding eggs in either hunt she had.

He's almost as big as she is.  Pretty funny.

 Happy Easter, haha!!

Okay here is the best part of this Easter... WHITNEY WAS HERE!!!  I love it when she visits for what we call "Cousin Camp." She's been making these delightful visits for almost 12 years now.  What?  Are we that old?  Anyway, I'm so happy she decided to spend her Spring Break with us.  Boy did we have fun!  We had good food, relaxed, enjoyed some beach time, shopped, and had tons of great talk (the best part!).  I can't wait until she visits again!  Seriously, Whitney, let's set a date!



By the way, for seem reason Eloise hears Whitney's name as something close to "Rita."  She's been wandering around the house for a couple of weeks now saying, "Rita? Rita?" she liked Whitney too!

Birthday Girl

My Sweet Eloise is 2 today.  We are celebrating with a trip to the Zoo on Saturday.  More pictures to come.  I love this sweet girl.

Easter Part I

Rees and KayLynn invited us to spend Saturday with them to celebrate Easter.  We dyed eggs, ate a delicious Easter dinner, and Eloise got to go on her first Easter Egg Hunt.  She LOVED it.  Anders and Cami joined us from San Diego, and Phil and Phyllis were able to come too.  I'm sad we didn't get more pictures of the guests.  It was such a treat to spend time with them!  We did, however, get plenty of pictures of the hunt!

  Hmmm... where should I look next?


 Up there?

Good thing I have Pop-Pop's help!
