A Mellow Brick Road...: Easter Sunday

First thing this morning Mommy got a call from GiGi! She told Mommy the exciting news that Bodhi, your picture was selected and printed in the Kokomo Tribune! YAY, what a special Easter gift for Mommy! Mommy hopped online to check it out, and there you were! However, Mommy later discovered after seeing the actual paper, your picture was printed in black and white. The picture was so unique because of all the colors :( Oh well, you are a super star Bodhi girl, and Mommy is very proud of you :)

Today was absolutely a family day! You both played with Mommy and Daddy most of the morning, but Daddy all morning long. Mommy decided to get some of the late night house cleaning done earlier than usual, so we could enjoy the rest of our evening together. We arrived at GiGi's at 4pm for the Easter egg hunt. The Easter bunny stuffed some eggs with "Little People," cash, and other gifts for you both. Bodh, you were so excited to have another Easter egg hunt! Jude man, you were hungry, despite just nursing before we arrived, so you were a little fussy. However, nothing a little attention and cuddling wouldn't cure for a while. Afterwards, Bodhi you and Daddy opened all the eggs together. You kept saying "ooooooh!" It was so cute! Jude, you chewed on a stuffed Easter Bunny the entire time. You both had such an awesome time at GiGi's and Gi-Pa Poncho's. You both played and ate, to the point of exhaustion. Bodhi, we could not get over all the food you ate. Of course, you ate like you hadn't eaten in days! You both had explosions a short time after though, we all knew you didn't have room to put all that food away. Bodhi, Grandmoo put a pair of her socks on you to keep your legs warm, as you had leaked through your diaper and onto your pants. The socks went clear up to your thighs. It was hilarious. Jude, at dinner, after putting Bodhi's bib on you, your neck turned a horrible yellow color. You scared everyone, we didn't know what was going on. Daddy thought die from the bib (which was plastic and had been washed several times) Mommy thought you had an allergic reaction, and GiGi and Grandmoo thought you had a baby food stain covering your entire neck and chin. After a process of elimination, we all agreed that some how the dye from the bib had transferred to your neck and chin, only because when we used alcohol the yellowish color transferred to the cloth. However, Mommy had to scrub, and this made you very angry... so, you still have yellow dye all over your neck and chin hee/hee

After we left GiGi's and Gi-Pa Poncho's, you both went right to sleep once home. Mommy completed a last minute homework assignment she didn't know about until Sister Kelly called, and of course Daddy proofread it for Mommy :) Happy 1st Easter baby Jude Liam, and Happy 2nd Easter Emilia Bodhi! You both are so loved!
