I marvel at how FAST the last year has gone. Thinking back to how much of a "baby" Quinn was at Easter last year and how she is much more a "little girl" now. (See below)

I mean, she wasn't even caring that Easter eggs were filled with candy - and now she shakes the egg to determine if it is worth her while. She of course had a new Easter dress and unfortunately toddler hair (translation: she will not sit still so her mother is happy to have some sort of rubber band in it and a comb may have touched it), and was wearing spring-worthy white shoes.
She had a lot of fun running around with the boys (Andrew, Levi, Steven, and Benj), and even more fun stuffing her face with various chocolate candies. At one point she enlisted Rhiannon's help because her mouth was too full (contents: 8 m&m's, 2 jelly beans).

We were blessed today with lovely sunshine and warm enough weather to stay outside for a bit. Perfect! Our menu for Easter also was especially delicious: ham, booyah potatoes (ask for the recipe...they are AMAZING - thanks Carly!!), fruit salad, green bean casserole, and rolls. For dessert a strawberry pie and Cool Whip.
Easter decorations - fun placemats and table runner.
