Easter

Easter was really fun this year.  We started the day by having brunch at the Maple Tavern with Steve's family.  Then we went to Dan and Barb's for an Easter Egg hunt.  Annika, Laurel and Esme each had certain color eggs to search for and in each of Esme's eggs there was candy and a quarter.  She had such a great time (and can't wait to put the quarters in her bank!).  Even after she found all of her eggs she wanted to continue to look.  Laurel was a sweetheart and kept hiding eggs for Esme over and over again.  Esme didn't seem to mind that they were empty, she just liked finding them. :)

Esme found one of the eggs that Laurel hid!

This may or may not have contributed to what happened next.

As we were driving home from Dan and Barb's, Esme was coughing and clearing her throat a lot.  I thought she must have something stuck in her throat right?  Yeah, not so lucky.  As soon as we got about a mile from home she upchucked all over!  It was in her hair, on her dress and all over the car seat.  We stopped in a parking lot and stripped her down to her diaper.  We threw her clothes in the trunk and she road the last mile home on my lap.  Good think we didn't get get pulled over!  We would have had a mostly naked baby sitting in the front seat of a car on Mom's lap with no seat belt.  Not good.  But luckily we got home without any problems.

After that Esme felt great and we went for a walk.  Esme practiced walking Cricket.

Then we hung out at the park for awhile.

 

Despite the puke, it was a great day.  I'm not entirely sure that Aaron would agree since he was the one who cleaned out the car and car seat.  I had the much easier job of giving Esme a bath. :)

Happy Easter!
