Picture Overload!!!!

Below are MANY pictures that were taken over the past two weeks. Between preparing for Easter Day Celebration and all of our Easter parties up to Easter Day, we were very busy and I took many pictures. They are in no particular order!!! Enjoy:)

Easter morning, we went to Church with Angelo, Sheila & Jeshua. It was a beautiful morning and a lovely service. I am just bummed that we didn't get a family picture taken.

Here is Mommy and Sweetie Easter night.

Sweeties new Easter necklace from Nana and Pap!

Look at those eyes....

We took her pretty Easter dress off while she ate dinner and she refused to put it back on. She also refused to take her shoes and socks off. This is how she prefers to dress on most days home!!

Such an awesome picture of Sweetie, Uncle Michael and Aunt Peggy!!


Love this picture!! Sydney was by Uncle Michael's side the entire night!!

Her Easter globe from Aunt Arlene and Uncle Vince!!

She called the Easter globe her Angel!!

Her pretty Easter dress!! She's only 2.5 years old and wearing a size for in girls for her Easter dress - it's because she's so tall!!

She loved this new toy!! There is a ribbon attached to the stick and she twirls it around!! Big hit!! Nana enjoyed it also!!!

Nana giving Sydney her new necklace!!


Sweetie and Angelo - our friend and neighbor.


Sweetie and Sheila, Angelo's wife & friend!!

Her first Peep!!

She only ate the ears off the Peeps and then lined them up on the table!!

On Sat., the day before Easter, our neighbors had an Easter egg hunt and party. We had so much fun!! They really went out of their way and did it up nice for the kids and the adults!! It's just so awesome that many of the neighbors are finally getting to know each other and having parties for the kids (and adults)!! It makes me so happy to know that Sydney is going to have kids her age to play with as she grows up here in our neighborhood!! This little boy's name is Jack.

Jack has an awesome Playset in his backyard that Sydney LOVED!!

Easter egg hunt at Jacks. They live 2 doors down from us.

Checking out their Easter goodies.

This lovely picture was taken a few days ago while I was getting some cleaning done. She insisted on wearing her kitty-cat hat (it was 80 degrees out), a diaper, her "princess shoes" and her necklace. Very stylish and cute!!

Her outfit for the afternoon!!

Later we made Easter cupcakes to bring to Jacks party. Sydney was having a hard time staying focused so I put her in her chair and gave her her own cupcake, frosting and sprinkles and just let her go at it. She really wasn't interested in the frosting or sprinkles - she just wanted to eat the cupcake!! She calls them "Pupcakes"!!!

All ready for spring!!!

She loves to pose for the camera!!

This was taken at our MOMS group Easter Egg Hunt/Party last week!! Yes, we had two Easter egg hunts/parties before Easter morning. Sydney is a pro at finding Easter eggs now. She calls them "Easters". This is her friend Savannah.

Here she is at our MOMS Easter egg hunt!! She was so excited!!

So cute!!!

Her basket got so full, we ended up putting some of the eggs back out for the other kids!!

They were all filled with candy. I really don't allow Sydney to eat candy much so I was pretty sneaky and got rid of all but a couple suckers. She is allowed to have suckers when we are shopping - it distracts her long enough for me to actually get some shopping done! Other than that, she really doesn't eat candy!! So, FYI for future holidays - please don't give Sweetie candy. Instead, we filled her eggs with little toys like plastic dinosaurs, wind up toys, organic berry bunnies, things like that:)

She really had so much fun at this party. And the weather was absolutely beautiful!!

So that's it for our Easter holiday this year. We are both exhausted today from all of the Easter parties and preparations and our Easter Celebration last night with all of the Wades!! Once again, I feel truly blessed to be in the Wade family and to have my beautiful family!!!
