How is it that the same child who will not knowingly allow so much as a solitary green bean to pass her lips (I 've resorted to disguising veggies in other foods), will eat almost half of my spinach and feta cheese salad. Maybe it's the Italian dressing it's tossed in, or the bacon bits, or the cheese, I don't know but she's had it twice and liked it. I guess if she has to willingly eat just one veggie, spinach would be at the top of my list so I plan on keeping it handy. This is the girl who would happily live on a diet of any sort of meat, pasta, pringles, butterscotch pudding, and any sort of cheese...even pepper jack (she loves spicy foods) . Of course, now that I've posted this, she'll probably refuse to eat it the next time I make it.

(you'll notice that is not spinach..I was too stunned that she was scarfing it down to take photos)

Kerry's first Easter

We couldn't have had any prettier weather for Kerry's first Easter.

Her basket from Mama and Daddy. She got a total of four baskets between us, grandparents, and Aunts and Uncles.


Here you can see some of the eggs she decorated.

After church it was time for another egg hunt and dinner with family

I couldn't resist getting her these teeny little gold cross earrings to wear on her first Easter.

Happy Easter!

He is not here. He is risen, just as he said..Matthew 28:6

We kicked-off Ker-Bear's first Easter celebration today. We started with the annual egg hunt at church this morning. It was rainy so they pretty much just gave the eggs to the kids.

Afterwards we went home to continue the festivies.

"hmmm...which egg should I dye first?"

"ah-ha...that one!"

I stuck her in an old paint splattered t-shirt of mine for the dirty work.

Then we made lemon cupcakes and Kerry decorated them, thoroughly, with sprinkles.

And of course, she had to eat one.








After her nap, it was time for a real egg hunt...in the back yard. She caught on quick and in no time she'd found every last one of them.








She's a collector by nature, this girl, so she was in her element. In fact, she carried her basket of new found treasure around most of the afternoon..including on our now daily walk to Feeder's S*pply to visit her new finch friends.





Tomorrow we're going to Cousin Sydnie's for lunch and another egg hunt. I think she's ready, now.

She cracks herself up, sometimes.


I mean, really cracks herself up.

I find her kinda hilarious,too...and adorable. Even after she goes digging through Mama's purse and finds Mama's lipstick. Looks like she's got kind of a heavy hand when it comes to applying make-up.
