It began with an early morning poopy wake-up...awesome! But after that it greatly improved.
Sam loved her Easter basket and all the goodies that she got (puzzle, new barrettes, an animal for her farm, a new cd and an Easter book). But even more than that she loved walking around outside picking up Easter eggs to put into her basket! I wouldn't really call it an Easter Egg Hunt since Chris just placed the eggs out in the middle of the yard (and then when I complained that they were too far apart, that it was going to take too long and I was cold, he started kicking them toward her to make it go faster!!) but she loved it anyway.
Then we went to the church pancake breakfast to support the youth group. Sam ate her weight in sausage! Then church. They sang the Alleluia chorus which was WONDERFUL; I ususally only get to hear that on Christmas Eve at Emmanuel (my home church in St. Louis), so getting to hear it today was great. I sang loudly from my seat in the pews and Sam was in awe of the music.
The rest of the day we spent bike riding, napping, yard work, laundry and then a GREAT picnic lunch (it was really like a middle of the afternoon meal, but whatever!).
So, since I know you wanted to see every moment of our holiday...here you go!
She hated her new dress shoes and tried many times to tear them off of her feet.
Our picnic and fun at the park. We went to a place that has a frisbee golf course, mountain biking trails, hiking trails and downhill ski slopes. We went and explored the ski slopes now that they have no snow.
This is a Sandhill Crane that Polly decided she would try and chase down...she didn't catch it and ended up in the pond covered in muck!

Overall we had a wonderful day. Hope you all had a Happy Easter Holiday.
