Easter Sunday

Sunday was Eileen's second Easter.  Eileen's dress was made by David's mom- she does french handsewing and the dress turned out to be gorgeous!
We started our Easter nice and early with mass in Greenville.  Eileen was not on her best behavior, so she and David spent most of mass outside with the other daddies and their naughty toddlers.

Eileen and me.  Poor, sleepy baby.
Eileen napped on the way home from Greenville (the tiredness explains her less-than-stellar behavior at mass) and was on her best behavior when went went to church in Beatrice with David's family.  We did, however, have to leave about fifteen minutes early because Eileen began to "converse" with the minister during his sermon.  

After church, we went to an egg hunt and Easter lunch at David's parents' house with all of the Steeles and the Stuckey family.  To say that Eileen had fun is an understatement.

I changed her into a bubble so she wouldn't ruin her beautiful easter dress.  Then, she "hunted" eggs with Adam, Eli, and Kendall.  Mostly, they hunted eggs and she ate the chocolate.

Then, Eileen discovered the ham.  She LOVED ham.  If she ate one bite, she ate an entire pound.  She preferred the ham to her candy.  The kid ate a great Easter lunch- she literally cleaned her plate!  She also enjoyed playing with Kathleen and Steven- she especially loved Kathleen.  Eileen really likes big girls and will follow them everywhere.
Lunch outside- it was a gorgeous day!
In the early afternoon, Eileen began to get tired again and we decided it was best to take her home.  All of us took a nice, long afternoon nap.  It was a wonderful Easter!
