Easter 2010

Kate was so excited to find her Easter basket outside the front door. She loved looking through it!

A really bad picture of Kate & Mommy but it's the best we got. The sun was in our eyes and it just isn't a good picture. But I was happy to be with my girl!

Here's a good picture of Paul, Kate, & Charlotte. The Dowdy kids are like Kate's brothers & sister. She LOVES them as much as she will love Macy (I think). We're thankful to have them across the street! They are part of our family!

Easter

My little poser....she loves to strike a pose.

Kate smiling outside getting ready to go to church.

After church with Daddy looking for her Easter basket.....did she have one?

Kate found her Easter basket!  She was so excited opening the eggs and finding her new movie, Bolt, new book, & Sleeping Beauty bubbles!  (Along with reese's peanut butter mini cups).

Kate loved her Easter dress.  Mimi & Poppy got it for her.  I just love smocking on little girls dresses.  This one reminded me of the dress Mary Beth made for her when she was born.  It had pink & green smocking and was absolutely beautiful.  Kate asked if she could wear this dress every morning along with her new Stride Rite sandals (that are pink and look like tulips).  She told me that she looked beautiful.  She's not proud at all!  Ha ha!  We had a great Easter with wonderful friends but missed our great families!

Easter Egg Hunt

We had a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning.  The Davenports were in town for a wedding so they came over for a short visit.  Kate loved having Luke with her at the egg hunt.  They had a great time.  Luke was very into the egg hunt and loved getting lots of eggs.  Kate was a little slower about the process.  She followed the directions very closely.  They told them after they got their eggs, take the candy out, and put the eggs in a big box.  She took the candy out of the eggs each time after she picked up an egg.  Therefore, she didn't get that many eggs but had a great time.  Afterwards, she helped Baby Charlotte open all her eggs and look at her candy.  

We had a great visit with Wes, Mary Beth, & Luke.  We're really excited for them and can't wait to meet Owen (Luke's little brother) when he arrives in June.  They are wonderful friends whom we dearly miss.  It was a great start to our Easter weekend!!
