Baby's First Easter

This year we were the greeters at church, with Annabel all dressed up in her Easter best. 

She received this dress from her baby shower from my mom.  Her first dress.

There was less people in church than I expected, but since a lot of people have Friday and Monday off, I think many go out of town.  The general school spring break (the entire week) also started, so possibly some go on vacation.

 

First Easter basket.

This cute Easter bunny is from Grandma June. 

I'm going to enjoy assembling Easter baskets in years to come.  I always really enjoyed searching for my basket and receiving bubbles, jump ropes and candy.  My mom was quite sneaky, as we often received some of the same things as our cousins, which really instilled the idea of the Easter Bunny.  My mom said she didn't even think about that helping us really believe, she just had more fun shopping for items with her sister.

We were unable to make time to get a picture with the Easter Bunny this year, but I have yet to see a non-scary Easter Bunny costume anyway.  With all of the Disney character costumes, you'd think it would be possible to make a cute Easter Bunny costume.
   
It's unfortunate that we again were unable to spend Easter with any family, which has been the case for many years running now.  We made the weekend special in other ways.  We took a nice wintery, Easter walk through the park near our house.

She looks just slammed in there, but the snowsuit adds some bulk.  I assure you she is nice and comfy.  She fell asleep on our walk home.

Crawling in a snowsuit is not the easiest.

For some reason I suddenly felt like I was going to just fly down this 10 ft slide. (Note the tight grip to the side!)  Hang on Annabel!!

Trying to take off Dad's glasses, but failing without the use of fingers.

We still have quite a bit of snow here in Saskatoon.

Taking a much needed rest on this handy park bench.

I wanted to take a photo of a huge snow drift, so I stepped off the trail, falling through up past my knees!  They should have had a "Stay on the Trail" sign.

We didn't go too adventurous with the meal.  Simple tends to be the way we have to do things these days with an active baby.  We made Eric's Aunt Jan's pork and beef meatballs, green beans and mashed potatoes.   Eric has greatly improved with his gravy making skills, as this round was not floury at all.  

I attempted to make marshmallow Rice Krispies bars for the first time, but messed them up.  How do you mess them up, you might ask?  I have no idea, but I did it twice.  

Hope you all had a nice Easter too!
