Ayla Blair & Jasper Paul: Here Comes Peter Cottontail.....

After we got back from Salem, we went over to Fancy and Grand Dude’s house to celebrate Easter. There was a brunch, Easter Egg Hunt, and a special visitor to complete the day. J As soon as we got to their house, Ayla immediately started seeing Easter Eggs all over the deck and backyard. She remembered hunting them from the night before in Salem and started her routine of shaking and having you open them to see what was inside. Cousin Paiton came over too, so they hunted eggs together and then ate all the goodies inside of them – it was a pretty cool hunt because it was geared for babies. Each egg had Puffs, Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, etc. in them so that they could eat everything.

A little later on in the day, we noticed that Fancy had disappeared. All of a sudden, she came hopping down the stairs with baskets of goodies for Ayla, dressed in an Easter Bunny suit! Now I know that she’s a little crazy, but I never expected this! It was hilarious! I know where I get my love for traditions now, because it was so important to her to continue this tradition from the time when Ayla’s Great, Great Grandma Moo Moo would do this for my mom and her brothers and sister! I found out that she had spent several days sewing her own Bunny suit so that she can hop down the stairs for each Easter from now on, and give out Easter Gifts. She’s the funniest Fancy in the world. I wondered what Ayla would do when she saw her, but she just ran up to her and gave her a hug! It was more like Ayla was thinking, “Fancy? Why in the world are you wearing a Bunny Suit outside?”

Along with treats and candy, Ayla got socks, a stuffed baby chick, a really cool light up unicorn from Uncle Chad and Auntie Moo Moo, and a bubble machine lawn mower of her very own from Fancy and Grand Dude. After her nap, she pushed it around in her diaper and had a blast. I would say that our Easter Weekend was a definite Success!
