Hoppy Easter!

We had a great Easter celebration this year.  Having Olivia makes every holiday so much more fun & exciting.

We woke up Easter morning to find that E. Bunny himself had come in the middle of the night and left a basket full of treats for sweet Olivia.




The holiday didn't stop Olivia from displaying her latest quirk - she won't sit by herself on the playmat.  She needs to be sitting on my lap, while playing with her toys.  (No, she's not spoiled at all!).  Matt snapped these pathetic crying pictures when I walked 10 feet away from her to get my water.





But, once I came back, she was happy and all ready to see what was in her basket....and chew on it all....
 








 After a nap and a change of clothes, we were very happy to host our families for Easter brunch.  Olivia was oh-so-excited to see Mimi & GrandDad.  She missed them both very much and greeted them with smiles & kisses.
 




She had fun before brunch playing with Aunt Yasmin & Aunt Nazreen, where she showed off her latest skill for the group - screaming as loud as she can.  Similar to this, but she really ramped it up for the crowd at Easter!





We had a delicious spread & I tried out a few new recipes that are definitely keepers, including this Baked French Toast & Salted Caramel Easter Popcorn.


Olivia joined us for brunch & was quite demanding as Mimi wasn't feeding her butternut squash fast enough!





 After lunch, she enjoyed a good cuddle with Tutu & Popo!


 

And, I can't help but show off one of my Pinterest decorating ideas - tulips in a vase filled with jelly beans - so cute!




It was a really wonderful day & we felt very blessed to spend it with both our families.
