Painting Eggs & Easter

We painted eggs with our neighbor and Gwenie's FAVORITE person, Kailey. Andy (Kailey's mom) got both of the girls bunny ears, Gwenie's didn't last long.

best friends



hurry!!!

Gwenie would throw a egg into a bowl then run and get into the car. I don't think she totally got it.

I think it was more for me than Gwenie, painting the eggs. I love doing stuff like that.

We didn't know how Gwenie would do on Easter morning with finding the eggs, but once we showed her what to do she was all into it. The first thing she pulled out of her basket was the little box of "fishey's" aka goldfish and she carried them the whole time she found eggs. I know this picture is blurry of Gwenie but it just shows you how fast she was!

She loved her CAR's basket, it lasted 2 seconds as a basket and quickly turned into a car to take Ernie and Elmo everywhere.

My creation


My Mom made Gwenie this dress for Easter and I LOVE it. As you can see from the pictures Gwenie loved it too.

Happy Easter!


She could not stop lifting the skirt up and twirling!!!

I curled her hair and made a quick bow with the material from the dress and she was already for church.

love the dress


Before we left she had to run over to Kailey's to show her the dress. "KAILEYYYYYYY" I swear in this picture you can totally tell that she is screaming Kailey's name as she runs.

Looks like a lot of fun! Love her dress. Very cute!! I really love Homemade things. It makes them so much more special. Hey, can you take a picture of her hairbow. I would love to see how you made it. I make hairbows out of ribbon. I handsew them but I'm always looking for new types. Or, maybe you already put it on your other site. I'll check that out next!
