EASTER 2009

We had an awesome holiday weekend! Ella went to several egg hunts on Saturday because we knew the weather on Sunday would be less than ideal. She had a blast opening all of the plastic eggs- especially the ones filled with CANDY!!! We enjoyed a great Easter service at church on Sunday followed by lunch with Mimi, Papa, Chris and Mica!
What is Ella into these days? Books and Music. Still. She has quite a song list going!! She talks NONSTOP these days- some new phrases I love are:
Oh My Word!, What the world? (What in the World), Awesome!, That's for MEEEE?, It's so CUTE!, Thank you SO MUCH!, etc., etc.
Her favorite books right now are Goin' on a Bear Hunt, Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus, and Panda Bear Panda Bear What Do You See? (She can read this one for memory by herself)
She is taken with SOUND!! This girl can hear a train, airplane, helicopter, garbage or fire truck from miles away before the motor has started- she'll say, "you hear dat?"
Papa and Mimi gave her The Sound Of Music (my favorite childhood movie of all time)for Easter, so I'm sure we'll be adding many performances to our repertoire!
