This was Hayden’s first year of dying eggs on her own. There were a few with cracks in them but that’s OK (just means we had to make potato salad) . She didn’t understand that you have to carefully put them in the bowl or that you can not bang them together. Over all it was a lot of fun and she enjoyed herself.

Easter day we went to church and had lunch at my grandparents. Of course Hayden walked out with 3 big baskets full of stuff… clothes, toys, jelly beans, stuffed animals, and books. The child is spoiled rotten!!!! As for what mommy and daddy gave her lets just say NO candy. I started a tradition when she was born that each year her Easter basket will be “Summer” related stuff… bathing suits, beach towel, flip flops, sun glasses, and bubbles. Her biggest and best gift of all that fit with the holiday was her new best friend Daisy. Although she got Daisy before Easter we still put her in the basket.

Can you spot the new “friend”?? Her name is Daisy! We adopted Daisy from a local farm after Hayden had a melt down for about an hour. She kept saying “my bunny my bunny”. I really thought she would forget about it but that hasn’t happened yet. After watching her with Daisy I think we should have got an elephant. Hayden doesn’t understand gentle. Poor Daisy has been picked up by her ears (maybe that’s why God made them so long) and neck.  But the first thing Hayden asks for in the morning is “where’s my Daisy” and before bed she must give Daisy hugs and kisses. I have also found that Daisy is a great babysitter. The play chase all around the kitchen and living room. Daisy runs and Hayden follows. Maybe Daisy was a good idea after all.
