Day 114 - April 24

Another day, more Easter eggs. This kid is going to be seriously disappointed when she realizes there's no more looking for eggs until next year! She'll have her new-found love for chocolate to console her, though....

This shot was from an attempt at a quick mini photo shoot when we got home from church. Knowing that I'd be taking her out of her fancy dress to eat lunch and nap (and that she'd be getting into a bathing suit when she woke up), I ignored the crappy noon-time lighting and took a couple of quick pictures. Sometimes, you just have to get the moment, even when the light's not perfect! And sometimes you have to just say "good enough" on the shots you get because your toddler is hungry, tired, and wants to open her eggs!

We had some trouble at today's egg hunt at church because she's realized that there is stuff inside the plastic eggs and she wanted to open every egg as soon as she picked it up, rather than grabbing more eggs. And since the organizers of the church hunt must've expected WAY more kids in her age group in the hunt, there were a LOT of eggs to be gathered! We managed to get her to fill her basket and hold off until we got to our front yard before she started to pop them open.

I'm still laughing about how different this year's Easter pictures are from last year's. Last year was a dress with a matching sweater, tights, a coat to go to church in, and indoor pictures. This year, we have a sleeveless dress, no tights and pictures in the front yard, complete with green grass and flowers!
