A tisket, A tasket.. my little pink monkey basket



Its Easter! We had a lot of fun making little decorations for Heather's little friends at school. My (step) grandma-in-law loved Easter and decorating for it.. it was her favorite holiday. So this year, to honor her memory, we made a few special decorations to share. We made these little bunnies and then glued a plastic easter egg behind it filled w/ little goodies for her friends. We also got togetehr with some friends to decorate real easter eggs :)

Heather and Xavier were having fun mixing the eggs in all the colors

The Easter bunny is good.. now if only she felt that way about the man in red.. LOL

Heather was patiently waiting for the egg hunt to begin

Look how high she climbs!! she really is a little monkey!

bubble time on a sunny afternoon is always good

a tisket, a tasket Heather has a little pink monkey basket! It was way more fun to pick up eggs with a little laddel than with your hands hahaha

and of course what weekend isnt complete with out a toodle around the yard w/ Daddy on his quad. Ims sure glad we have a large back yard!!
Easter is a fun holiday, I love spring colors and the weatehr is just great. Easter is a day to remember what we have and to spend time with those we love.. actually every day should be like Easter dont ya think? =)
