We had a great Easter today with Millie Bea, welcoming Spring and celebrating all the new life around us. She had a special breakfast including an egg and cheese omelet, a strawberry-jam homemade poptart shaped like a bunny, and raspberries. After breakfast we went on a family walk into the park with Sneaky Pete. When we returned home Millie changed into her Easter dress with her Daddy, while I checked around the garden to see if the Easter Bunny had come while we were gone. He had come! We were so surprised! Millie decided to take a walk outside and see for herself.
In Millie's basket: four knit finger puppets, two packages of seeds, a big-girl toothbrush with a rinse cup and all-natural banana toothpaste, and a card with a letter from us. The E.B. found a couple of last minute additions at a consignment store yesterday: a cute Easter book by Mary Engelbreit, and a new-to-us pink Hanna Andersson dress for spring.
We planted wheat berries two weeks ago and Millie has enjoyed watering them and watching the grass grow, running her hands through it, and picking it to feed to the pets. Her favorite things from her basket were the toothpaste and the grass.
After that we headed to Muscoot Farms to see a puppet show and visit the animals to wish them a happy spring. We watched a (non-violent) Punch and Judy puppet show that was very good. Millie was giving her usual "serious" face, but was watching the whole time and enjoyed it. She was absolutely delighted to see the farm animals! She called to them with "kitty kisses", waved, reached, pointed, and came up with an adorable new giggle/chuckle.
We hope you had a nice Easter too!
