Some Serious Silliness

Ella was up at 6 am this morning to watch the Royal Wedding with Mommy and Auntie Nina. She munched on scones and loved watching the princess (although she decided to play with her legos during the sermon -- too boring).

The day before the big event, we had some serious silliness with Nana in the Nordstom lounge. Ella played dress up and decided to act out the wedding. It's the most fun I've ever had shopping :)

Ella Ballerina

Monday was the first day of Mommy and Me ballet class! We had been talking about going for weeks and even made a special trip out to buy her ballet shoes and leotard. She was thrilled. However, she thrill the world's biggest fit that morning about putting on her ballet clothes. I almost thought we were going to have to call and cancel! But by the time we got there, she was all smiles (of course) and was the model student. She started twirling the second we walked in, and while all the other girls kind of meandered about, she watched the teacher intently and copied every move. She was great!

Can't stop dancing :)

p.s. - When I mentioned today that we get to go back to ballet class again on Monday, she was so excited, but then said "Ella cry cry and say 'I don't want my ballet clothes!" I just stared at her in disbelief. Really, she remembers that tantrum? I didn't even know she was cognizant during that!

Happy Easter!

Yeah fun! We had such a great Easter! We got to see lots of family and enjoy the beautiful weather. Ella had a great time hunting for eggs at Mimi and Poppa's and dressing Lucy in rabbit ears :)

Silly!

Mama and Little Man

Love her face!

Look! The Easter bunny came!

Goofball :)

I only look innocent...

This is what Cooper thought about family pics (or at least wearing a bonnet).

And she's off!

Hunting...

Cute!

Not so cute.

Hello G Pop!

Who's that cute boy in the mirror?

All smiles!

Cutie! (I think someone looks like his Daddy...at least in this pic!)

Lamb cake!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail...

Easter is tomorrow! We have a fun weekend planned and get to spend time with G Pop, GG, Uncle David, Aunt Farrell, Mimi, Poppa, Nana and Baba!

Here's what we've been doing to get ready...

Easter egg hunt in Nana's yard with the neighbors.

Mama helping while wearing baby Cooper. He is pretty much attached. He won't let me put him down. I call him my chest monkey :)

Dying eggs!
