"Hoppy" Easter

Ellen had been preparing for Easter for several weeks by mastering the word "hop" and trying to hop like a bunny (or as Ellen says, "bubby") around the house. The big day did not disappoint. The Easter Bunny brought Ellen a new teaset, a book ("Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See") and a number of other little goodies. EVB behaved wonderfully during church and even complied with an off-schedule nap before we headed to the Johnsons' house for the afternoon. Ellen was a social butterfly at the party and had a blast on the Easter egg (treasure) hunt. What a beautiful day to be outside! Ellen especially enjoyed hearing and seeing cars, birds and airplanes as she ran around enjoying the outdoors.

Ellen LOVES being outside.

Taking a much-needed rest after lots of running!
