Easter

Easter eve I went down and hid some eggs. I have not wanted to do the Santa / Easter Bunny thing but when Rebekah asked if the Easter Bunny was going to come, well, you just go with it. Someday I'll figure out how to lead her to the spirit of the thing so she doesn't have to find out the way Don's daughter Kayla did which was tragic. 

Anyway, I hid eggs. That morning I found Don left his glasses down stairs, so I went with it: 

Going through her stash:

Found the purple egg after she found the egg with the marshmallow in it.

(LOVE the marshmallow face!)

Such a happy little girl!

Except when she has to pose for a picture:

But I inform her only little girls who smile for pictures get sweet rolls.

Speaking of sweet rolls....

Here's Don instilling good habits in our daughter

Showing her how it's done

Mmmmm.... sweet rolls

Good to the last bite

In my attempt to teach "it is better to give then receive," I had Rebekah pick out presents for Don and grandma. Grandma got a chocolate bunny. Don got a kite. A Doc McStuffins kite. 

Which he flew very well.

He did get a little tangled

Okay, a lot tangled.

And there were other malfunctions. 

Yes, Doc took a little dive in the lake. 

But Don and I got her out.

Rebekah had so much fun!

Yay for time with daddy!

Family group shot

Rebekah had a heart to heart with her daddy.

Then we decided to change venues and head to the park

Kite flying was much better - not to mention more safe for Doc.

Love this one!

The kite

Watching Don and Rebekah fly the kite was truly a precious moment. So good!

Then we headed over to the volleyball court (aka: sand box) and Rebekah impressed us all with her writing skills.

R for Rebekah!

Don and Rebekah spent some good times on the playground:

I did warn him that she's too big for the baby swing. 

I can't get her out by myself any more. 

And yes, I finally put down the camera to help.

A nice high five coming down the slide

Then they came back and snuggled while I made dinner

Reminded me of another picture I took:
