First Easter

OH Brooks, mommy must blog about your first Easter experience! First of all, we had such a cute outfit for you! The only problem was that mom and dad did not check to see if it fit before Sunday (we just assumed). Everything fit except the yellow button-down shirt...it was a little snug, but wearable. It was a little too snug, however, for the tie to fit! I was so sad...the tie was the best part of the whole outfit! THEN mom saw that your socks did not match your pants very well at all (you think I was a little unprepared for Easter? I think so) SO you had to go without socks! You still looked cute despite these two little things:)

Next we must move on to your attitude during this entire 'getting ready for Easter Sunday'. To say you were unhappy would be an understatement! You were so fussy! Cried through the entire process. We wanted to get some pictures of you in your outfit before church, but it just was NOT happening! SO I told myself that we would just wait until we got home. That plan didn't work either! You cried, then would give some sort of a smile, cry again, then maybe give a little smirk. NOT fun at all for mom or dad!

Finally, the cadbury egg. When you were fussing while we were trying to put your shoes on, I looked around really fast to see if I could find something you could hold to occupy you until we were finished. The only thing I saw bright with a shiny foil wrapper was a cadbury egg sitting on the table. I grabbed it, gave it to you, and it worked! You were definitely happy to be holding something so pretty. The only problem here is that mom TOTALLY forgot about that cadbury egg in the rush of getting out the door! We get to church, dad goes to get you out of the car, and all I hear is Stu go, "OH NO!". Yes...you had cadbury egg on your face, vest, pants, everywhere! All that to say we made it in to church with a baby smelling strangely like he was bathed in baby wipes (which isn't too far from the truth).

This was how you were for most of 'picture taking time'

You are just so cute!


You did not want to let go of the spoon!
Here you are with your empty Easter basket!
