Traditions and Such

Today was a really good day! Everyone slept in a little bit (even Camilla). Camilla snuck into our room at 7:00am and then snuggled back to sleep until 8:00ish which was super nice!

Gramma set her up with a fabulous PB&J sandwich for lunch.

I discovered that my belly is now big enough to balance a small plate. 

We got to spend the afternoon and evening with Nana. It was a lot of fun! Camilla loves the puppies and kitties and had some nice snuggles with her Nana. They also had fun drawing with chalk together and we are looking forward to using the sidewalk chalk that Nana got us! We had a fabulous dinner and a great visit!

Camilla got to color her very first Easter egg!  Her favorite part was throwing it (literally) in the colored water and exclaiming "Splash!". It made for one messy table. She managed to color two eggs for the traditional egg champ on Sunday.  We also had fun dipping and decorating homemade marshmallow Easter eggs.

Mr. Stannix made a missionary egg with the tie, name tag and shoes to match. It was super creative! These traditions have been going on for 23 years in my parents home every Easter, without fail. I was glad that I got to go home and take part in them again this year and I look forward to doing some of them with our own kids!
