Happy Easter!

Despite a shaky start to our weekend, Ava ended up having a terrific 1st Easter! On Good Friday we had dinner at my parents and Uncle Jason and Aunt Nicole were both able to make it!! Ava opened some presents and enjoyed being the center of attention as she practiced walking around with her push-toy. On Saturday we went over to my friend Julie's house for an Easter Egg hunt. Ava was thrilled when we got there and found out that her best friend, Alexa was there as well!! The kids had a storytime, then made some Easter crafts (Ava used crayons for the first time...with a little help from Mommy!), then it was on to the egg hunt. Looking high and low, Ava was able to discover lots of Easter treasures and her basket was quickly filled to the brim. If that wasn't exciting enough, a special visitor stopped by to wish everyone a happy Easter. As you'll see from Ava's expression, she was super excited to say hello and she was even brave enough to lean in for some hugs and kisses....it was priceless! After and fun-filled afternoon we headed over to JP's parent's house for dinner and some more playing. Needless to say, Ava was pretty tuckered out by Easter morning, but she still had some energy left to open up the basket full of goodies that the Easter bunny left.
