Natalie's First Easter!

We spent Easter in Minnesota visiting Natalie's Oma and Opa. We arrived on Friday and flew out on Monday. Natalie did great on the flights. On the way out, she feel asleep while I nursed her and slept for over an hour on the plane. On the way home, although she didn't fall asleep, she did great and didn't cry or fuss.

I brought Natalie's Easter basket with to Minnesota and Emile's parents got her a basket also. They got her a Easter bunny. We got her a new dress, a purple elephant stuffed animal, three Easter books, a little watering can to help Emile garden over the summer, and some place mats for when we got to restaurants.

Unfortunately, Natalie got sick on Easter so she wasn't as thrilled with everything as she normal is.

The weather was pretty good on Easter so we decided to still try an Easter egg hunt with Natalie (of course, it amounted to us showing her where the eggs were). She did like playing with them and putting them in her basket.

Natalie spent a lot of time playing with Papa and Oma.
On Saturday, we took Natalie to the Richardson Wildlife Preserve near Emile's parent's house. In addition to having an Easter egg treasure hunt (not something she could participate in at this age), they were going to have bunnies. I thought it would be cute for her to see some bunnies for Easter. Well, she was not at all interested in the bunnies. Instead, she loved looking at the turkeys -- her Easter turkeys!
