Hoppy Easter!

So, it's Hayes's first Easter and despite the fact that she will not remember a single thing we're doing right now, we still feel the need to celebrate each holiday and milestone to its fullest!  Easter is no exception.  We decorated Easter eggs (we're talking old-fashioned, smelly vinegar and boiled egg Easter eggs), made an Easter basket (no candy, of course, it could rot her teeth...oh, wait, she has no teeth), went on an Easter egg hunt (she slept through it), made a bunny cake (with her grandmother [Welch] and cousins), and even had her first Easter dress (a gift from her grandmother [Hampton]).  It was enough to totally wear her out - she is currently overtired and fighting sleep with Daddy as I type.  Enjoy the photos of Hayes's big Easter celebration!

Hayes getting ready for the big egg dying eggstravaganza.

An extremely sleepy Hayes.  She was over the whole egg dying thing about a minute after it began.  

She's a child prodigy - spelling her name and with paint to boot!

Hayes and her grandmother.  By the way, we do not have names for the Welch grandparents - anybody have any suggestions?

The annual bunny cake with cousins Wyatt & Ivey and Grandmother Welch.  Hayes supervised.  She's still working on her smearing icing & jellybean placing skills.

Hanging out with her cousin, Wyatt.  She's going to love playing with Wyatt when she can master the whole walking & talking thing.  

Some pictures of Hayes in her Easter dress.  She slept through all of church (all three services!) but looked lovely in her dress tucked away sound asleep in the sling.
