She was supposed to be hitting a plastic egg across the room with the spoon. She decided that wasn't very fun, ha!
I attempted to dye eggs with her Thursday. She wasn't interested, until I pulled out the stickers. This girl loooooves some stickers! However, she decided putting them on the door was more fun:
On Saturday, our community association had an Easter Egg hunt. Now, there are approximately 80,000 people that live in Highlands Ranch and at least half of them were at this Easter egg hunt. OK, that might be a stretch, but there were well over a thousand people. We live about 5 minutes away from the rec center where it was located. The signs for the hunt said it started at 10:00 am sharp, so we left at 9:30 am. We ended up parking over a mile from the hunt. By the time we parked, got her in the stroller and walked to the field, it was 10:00 sharp. As in, we were walking up when they said "Go!" and let the kids loose. We quickly got Olivia out of the stroller, walked to the start, and... all the eggs were gone. Seriously. I was amazed. A few people saw Olivia (and lots of other kids!) without eggs and gave her some from their kids baskets (empty). I didn't get many pictures there, obviously. At least it was a pretty day!
Today, Olivia woke up to her Easter basket:
2 chocolate bunnies, a bunny necklace, sidewalk chalk, and sunglasses. The Elmo is there, because we also got her tickets to Sesame Street Live next Sunday! She went after the chocolate first. That's my girl:
We made it to church, but she would NOT stay in the nursery. Wouldn't even get down in the nursery, so she ended up with us in the service. She did pretty well, but halfway through the sermon she started talking, so I took her out. We ate lunch at church and then she got to participate in yet another egg hunt:
She's just not into it. There were eggs EVERYWHERE and she walked right by them to look at a picture on the wall. She ended up with a few. Hopefully she'll be ready next year!
She might not have been interested in looking for eggs, but she quickly figured out how to get them open! She ate so much candy today! A definite sugar high!
That was our Easter! How was yours?
