Easter Sunday

Easter Morning we were all up before 6:30 am. Millie had fun looking for a few eggs but she didn't really look for her basket. We had to help her a bit. She wanted to eat the Special K cereal bar in her basket right away and look at the new Strawberry Shortcake books but she didn't care about the candy. (A few days later she realized that there was Reese's Pieces candy inside the eggs and had to open every egg every time she saw them closed. I guess she was hoping more would be inside each time.) Millie had a beautiful dress thanks to a Birthday present from Crackers and Pop. She looked beautiful, and only pulled out her pig tails twice at church. After church Millie tried walking in Shannon's shoes. She has just started having lots of interest in doing this. She looked so cute we had to get a few pictures. I think it looked so adorable because she was still wearing her pretty dress.

Lots of Snow

Last Friday at noon it began to snow and it didn't stop until Sunday morning. I think we got 17+ inches of snow. It looked so beautiful. It snowed a TON early in the morning on Saturday. I had to be at church before 8am for a baby shower I was helping with. Luckily I made it there and back but I did get my car stuck in the driveway on the way home (see last photo). Millie actually kept on her mittens & hat long enough to find out that she loves the snow. She had a great time making her version of a "snow angel".

Wow! Look at all this snow!

Millie's version of a snow angel.

This was an early picture on Friday before it had really piled up.

Yes, that is my car stuck at the bottom of the driveway on Saturday.
Our nice neighbors helped Shannon & I dig out. Millie still had fun!

The Potty

Last Thursday Millie was sitting on the potty and when I came back 1 minute later to check on her she had one foot IN the potty and she was trying to put the second foot in. The very next day she was again sitting on the potty and when I went to take her off the potty I noticed her socks were no longer on her feet. She said "socks in the potty." Then before I could fish them out Millie said "flush the potty." Before I could tell her "NOOOOO" the socks were gone. I guess Millie is not ready for privacy in the bathroom yet.

Belated Birthday

OK, I should have posted these pictures weeks ago. I never can find the time to update the blog anymore. Here are a few pictures of Millie's Birthday party 2 weeks ago. Millie and her friend Jade had a blast! Jade wanted to help Millie open her gifts, and Millie didn't mind. She just wanted that chocolate cake and ice cream. Every year Millie loves to play with all the balloons before the party starts. This year was no exception. It was one of her favorite parts of the day.
