The Rest of Easter & Springtime In the Burg

We had a very packed Spring this year! We tried to do everything we could before we had to leave our beloved Williamsburg. Here is the start of many posts about some of our last adventures in Virginia.

Here are the pictures of Kate at Easter. In her Easter basket the Easter Bunny brought Kate some eggs filled with yogurt drops (her favorite "treat"—a few were in her basket so she would know what was inside the eggs and want to hunt for the rest that were hidden around the house), some bubbles, a hat and some bracelets.

The yogurt drops were a success…but then she started hording the eggs and trying to carry all the eggs she found at once and started throwing a fit when she couldn’t carry them all (this is her attempting to carry three at a time :))

After her egg hunt we led her to a trail of puff balls that the Easter Bunny left.

She followed the trail and at the end she found...

a baby doll and stroller! Even to this day she LOVES her baby! I wish SO BAD that we had gotten pictures of Kate trying to fit in her baby’s stroller! It was HILARIOUS! We couldn’t get her to stop and were afraid she was going to break it so Tim decided to bring in Kate’s stroller for her AND her baby to ride in!

One extra exciting thing about Easter is that we got to see the Easter Bunny in our back yard! How cool is that!?

At our house the Easter Bunny comes on Saturday so that on Sunday we aren’t being greedy egg mongers and can really focus on the reason we celebrate Easter in the first place. This year it worked out to be an extra good idea because I had to give the lesson in YW (as I mentioned in my previous post) Here are the pictures of my YW, the other leaders, and a few guests after my lesson. The YW are wearing men’s short-sleeved Sunday shirts to look like lab coats. You can see a few of the artifacts/evidence on the table. I miss my YW SOOO much!

We took many walks to CW with just me and Kate & sometimes with Tim after class or during a lunch break.

We also went a bunch with our good friends!

(Dakota, Eloise, Kate)

Esme came too a few times but I never had my camera when she was with us :(

Eloise, Dakota & Esme’s momma’s all took me to dinner/dessert for my birthday! (We missed you so much at our girl’s nights after you moved Hayley! :() They are such amazing friends and I miss them like crazy!

(Brooke, Rachel, me, Heather)

This is what we saw when Kate & I walked Tim to class one day. Kate refused to look at me (and definitely wasn’t going to smile!) So I took pictures of the flowers instead.

Aren’t they beautiful? Man I miss Springtime in Virginia!

A few days before I took Kate’s Easter pictures we went on a walk to try and find a good location to take her pictures. This location didn’t make the final cut but I thought these pictures were worth sharing. I love that flowering bush behind Kate and I LOVE the silly faces Kate can make!

 

The wind started blowing and all of a sudden Kate thought she was on a rollercoaster ride! It was SO FUNNY!

Ps. After our little photo shoot we sat on that bench, soaked up the sun and watched the birds and beautiful surroundings. While we were sitting there we saw a grandpa walking by. He was quite old and could barely walk and do you know what he was doing as he was hobbling along? Picking up any bit of trash he saw—even if it wasn’t in his path. He was so inspiring. He was leaving the place better than when he found it. As we walked home we picked up trash on our way in honor of that sweet grandpa. I hope I can try harder to leave places and people better than I found them.
