EASTER!!

We went to Frisco for their town Easter Egg hunt.  We arrived 10min after the advertised time + there were no more eggs for Elsie Anne to hunt:(  Don't know why they say 12-1pm, if it only lasts 5min?! hahaha!  Anyway, it was a fun little outing + we got to use EA's little Chick Easter Basket that GeeGee + Papa sent her!  And, obviously, EA had no clue that we missed out on anything... she was pumped to walk around in the snow, on the sidewalks, in the street (it was closed for festivities) + @ 'Butterhorn Bakery', where we ate a yummy lunch:)
We are both starting to feel that our posture is taking a hit, as we are always leaned over holding EA's hand!  She walks fantastic on her own, but on unsturdy ground or unsafe areas, she won't let us carry her anymore, she HAS to walk!!
She was so excited to see the Easter Bunny (not a very cute one in my opinion)!  She said "HOP,HOP!" the whole time we were around him, + even as we walked away!  She even leaned into him for a HUG, which was completely unexpected, as she has been so Momma/Daddy clingy!
Walking down Frisco Main Street, EA spotted this enormous Grizzly Bear statue!  This meant she was off the "HOP,HOP" and on to "GRRRR!"  We get so proud when she uses her words on her own to communicate w/ us!  Its really impressive that she can tell us what she needs now by her sign language + words!!  In the last 3 days, she's added a few more words to her vocabulary... help, Elvis, book!
Okay, I had to add this one, not for its cuteness or pertinence to the day, but to show you all what I am enduring!  After visiting sunny Florida for 10 days + seeing everything in bloom w/ warm(ish) weather, we come back to 'Mud Season', where everything is gloomy, grey, muddy, stinky (from the thawed dog poo), and COLD!  Needless to say, we're trying to make Lemonade out of Lemons!  We got EA in her snowsuit, boots + gloves, and walked around our little yard area, dodging the poo piles + muddy spots.  EA got a pretty good kick out of it, even if Momma wasn't thrilled!  Don't you just love my 'running pants + snow boots' look, hahaha!
Hope everyone had a great Easter!
