Braxton Hicks and Donkey Kicks (Easter 2011)

 This was by far our favorite Easter yet.  (Aside from the fact that at 30 weeks, I was feeling exceptionally swollen and dealing with Braxton Hicks contractions all day!)  It was jam packed with lots of fun and probably a little too much excitement for one Buggy to take - which is probably why she was up every hour, on the hour, last night until 4am! 
We began the morning running downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought Buggy. Then we headed to church to color, I mean learn, about Jesus. After a great service we packed up Pearl with all the Easter desserts this hungry Mommy made and headed to Gigi and Babu's. Instead of napping on the way there, Bug decided to ask about Babu? Gigi? Puppies? and Poogie? for the entire car trip. She just wanted to be certain that they were all going to be present.  Once Pearl arrived in the woods of Toano, we of course had to take some family photos for Gigi first, and then we headed inside to see what else the Easter Bunny brought for Bug.  We spent the rest of the day eating ourselves into Turkey coma and hunting for eggs outside.

She got lots of cards this year, and a delicious Cookie Bouquet from Grandma Kinard!


Checking out her goodies.




Since every parent thinks their child is gifted, we had to get our little genius an abacus.

Bug was so excited to see that the Easter Bunny came to Gigi and Babu's house too!


Much to my dismay, the Princess play tent was a big hit!



"Uncle Poogie?!  Why are you sleeping my princess tent?"


"Time to wake up Uncle Poogie!"


"I'm coming in too!"





Hunting for eggs.





Judging by the color of her cheeks, and the sweat dripping from her head, I think she had a good time outside!

I think it's safe to say that Bug has warmed up to the puppies.  It's always fun to watch her run around and have so much fun at Gigi and Babu's.






Ever since we re-enrolled in Little Gym, Bug has been obsessed with perfecting her donkey kicks!

Yes, they are really called Donkey kicks!  How appropriate for our little wild donkey!  She spent most of Easter showing off her kicks to the puppies!  I think they were really impressed!



Mommy and Daddy certainly enjoyed not having to chase after Bug for an entire day!


Yep.  It was by far our best Easter ever...until next year!

  1. Great pictures! The Easter bunny had a hard time fitting all her goodies in her basket...maybe you need a giant Easter basket! She is adorable and Holly you look beautiful and hope that baby stays in for a while and that the BH slow down. I had a lot with Jack too.
