Awesome Easter

We managed to stretch our Easter festivities to three full days this year. On Saturday we all headed over to the neighborhood Easter Eggstravaganza that is hosted by our church. Usually more than 1000 of our neighbors show up for the fun which includes lots of carnival games (a no-go for Mils just yet), live-rabbit petting (she LOVED it), a costumed mascot rabbit (NO WAY was she going near that thing), and a gigantic egg 'hunt'. Since she's an expert at putting and taking things in and out of bags, baskets, and drawers, she had a great time picking up the eggs.

On Sunday we had a small celebration at home (we read the resurrection story and opened the Easter basket and a great gift from G&G Greer) and headed up for a casual brunch with my parents. Another wonderful basket to explore and another mini-egg hunt made Millie so happy. She learned quickly to pick up an egg and shake it. If she could hear something inside she'd start squealing "Opie! Opie! Opie!" which means Open! Open! Open!. Grammy hid some animal crackers in the eggs. Jackpot!

On Monday morning we had a once-in-a-lifetime event for both me and Millie: The White House Easter Egg Roll, courtesy of our neighbor and friend Sybil! I haven't downloaded photos off the camera yet, so I'll post some of those action shots in the next day or two.

See...three days of awesome Easter fun. What a perfect way to celebrate such a meaningful holiday.
