Happy Easter

Ainsley really enjoyed Easter this year - hunting for eggs, hopping like the Easter Bunny, and searching for her Easter baskets. 

Ainsley found her Easter basket

Yum!  Yogurt melts!

Minnie Mouse inside an egg!

This was her big smile for the camera...
(and still hanging on to the yogurt melts)

We went to Great Grandma & Grandpa Paul Shellhammer's house for Easter afternoon.

Another Easter basket!

Ainsley & Great Grandma -
the Easter Bunny brought Craisins!

For some reason, Ainsley likes to play with empty milk jugs. She carried one around all afternoon!

We sure had a big day for Easter, and it was a lot of fun! Ainsley also got some Easter goodies in the mail.

Eggshelland

The day before Easter, we went to Eggshelland - a house in Lyndhurst that decorates with thousands of colored eggshells. This year's theme was The Muppets, and they used over 38,000 eggshells to create the display. 

The 50-foot cross is there every year

Then we went to the park for more fun. Ainsley LOVES the sliding board - I think Nathan put her up there 20 times, and she still asked for more!

Fun!

Happy girl!

Ainsley was hungry when we came home, so she took out the entire bag of Cheerios and started popping them in her mouth. So silly!

Visiting Grandma & Papa

Last week, we went to Milwaukee to visit Grandma & Papa Molnar. They had big plans for us during our trip.

We went to an Irish festival on St. Patrick's Day, where we met a couple of friendly leprechauns and did some crafts.

Later that evening, we had an Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard. That Easter Bunny - he knew we were going to be at Grandma & Papa's house a few weeks before Easter, so he hid the eggs early!

Got my basket, and I'm ready to go.

Hey, I found one!

A basket full of colorful eggs!

Did you know the Easter Bunny puts fun toys and goodies in the eggs?

Apparently Roxy was jealous of all the attention Ainsley was getting, so she climbed up on my lap. She hasn't jumped on anyone's lap in years! She must miss her sister. :)

Then Ainsley had to be on Mommy's legs, too. Roxy didn't want to share her spot, so she jumped off soon after Ainsley arrived.

The next day, we visited the Children's Museum in Milwaukee. It's a really nice place, and Ainsley had a great time.

Ainsley got the biggest kick out of watching golf balls roll down the ramps

Sorry this video is sideways - I couldn't figure out how to rotate it, but you get the idea!

Maybe the cow would like a golf ball

All aboard!

Unfortunately, Ainsley was a bit under the weather during our trip, so we spent a fair amount of time just hanging out at Grandma & Papa's house.
