And More Easter


After leaving the nursing home we went to Scott's mom and dad's to celebrate Easter. Lilliana, Madalyn and Kayla had a chance to hunt eggs again. Lilliana will be a pro next year and will be able to show her siblings how to do it.

More Easter







These pictures were taken at the nursing home of Lilliana checking out all of her Easter loot. We went back to the nursing home after eating lunch at Brunsons. Notice her digging to the back of her Easter basket to get to her Yo Gabba Gabba toys. There is also a picture of her with Aunt Gina and Aunt Tiffany.

Easter Sunday Morning




Lilliana woke up to find that the Easter bunny had left a trail of jelly beans. She had to follow the trail to find her basket. She would alternate eating a jelly bean and putting one in her bag.

Easter Egg Hunts







Lilliana had two Easter egg hunts. The first one was at Kenton Rehab and Nursing, where Angela's dad is for rehab, and the second one was at the Eagles in Tiffin where Scott's mom and dad are members. We were late for the one at Kenton so Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Mike went and got eggs for Lilliana to find. She had fun hunting eggs with her cousins at the hunt in Tiffin. The top pictures are from Tiffin and the bottom ones are from Kenton.

Gotcha Day








It is hard to believe that we have had Lilliana home for a year. The time has went by so fast and she is getting so big. We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese and then Lilliana got one of the gifts that we bought for her in Guatemala. This years gift was a backpack, which she had to put on right away.

Decorating Easter Eggs





We had a great time decorating Easter eggs this morning. We used the color snaps that have the dye in a q-tip and you paint the eggs. Lilliana really enjoyed decorating her eggs.

Easter Bunny visit #2


Angela took the day off work yesterday (for her birthday) so Lilliana and her could go to Columbus with Angela's mom. We had a great time shopping with Grandma and went out to lunch at Red Lobster. At the mall Lilliana sat on the Easter Bunny's lap.

Easter Bunny Visit

We took Lilliana to the mall tonight to see the Easter Bunny. We thought that she may be afraid of him, especially after our experience with Santa. We walked into the mall and she started waving to him and walked right up to him and crawled up on his lap to get her picture taken. She even kissed him on the nose before she got off his lap without anyone telling her to do it.
