Easter morning....we spent it eating chocolate and Nate's yummy french toast!
Then it was off to church in Alice's new Easter clothes...don't mind the smudge on all the pictures, that came from the chocolate bunny seen above....

Daddy fixing Alice's shoe....


Showing me her "big smile".

Looking at the duck or turkey or some bird-thingy in the orchard here.

Another awesome smile face. This is her new favorite...teeth bared and nose scrunched. And check out Alice's powse (purse). She would NOT let go of it...probably because her binkie was inside.


My new favorite thing on the WHOLE planet is Alice saying this..."momma (pause) I love you..."(you can also insert dadda in there and sometimes Dora and Elmo). Every time she says it my heart melts a little...even when she is saying it after she's naughty. She knows she can get away with murder by saying it. But its mostly spontaneous followed by us saying we love her back, and then she does the cutest little contented sigh...I.COULD.DIE.

Anywho, back to the video...at the beginning she is says it, then moves into some smiling, singing...mostly just stuff that's cute to me and Nate....and the grandparents....

hope you had a wonderful Easter! We sure did.

I forgot to tell you how cute her outfit was! I can't believe that she held on to that purse! What a little lady!!! Oh, I wish you guys lived closer!

So I was looking at these pictures thinking to myself, "that place (where Alice is walking) looks very familiar." And guess what, it is because, in the very last picture, you can see the home I grew up in! After moving from your neck of the woods at age 9, my parents moved to a home right on Heather Road, across the street from a church. It HAS to be close to where you now live, because I can see my old house, along with the homes of old friends. Where do you live??

BTW, my parents have since moved out of the house on Heather Road and I miss it. Thanks for making me have some good memories!

Andrea- NO WAY! That is sooo cool! I live seriously 5 houses away from your old house! Its kinda kiddie-corner from the church. Its across from the Jensen's. I think the Flores used to live here. This is a great neighborhood, the people are SO nice. Plus, its great living half a block away from the church. I guess my kids will be Timberwolves too!

Okay, so let me get this straight. You live across from the Jensen's, next door to the Robertsons, and in the same mini-circle as the Spencer's? Maybe those people don't still live there, but they did when I was growing up. You probably know then that Teresa Liu's parents live two houses down from you right on Heather Road. Small, small world. I L-O-V-E that neighborhood, but have never been in your house. Are you in the Heatheridge 4th ward? I have got to come and visit now.

Stefanie Raynes said...

Yea! Right next to the Robertson's in that mini-circle, and I am in the Heatheridge 4th ward! You TOTALLY need to come visit! It would be SO fun to see you, plus then the neighbors would think I am super cool for knowing you.

Um, remember when you were pregnant with Alice and I said she was going to be the coolest kid in the world? Well it looks like I was RIGHT! She's so chill and confident 'cause she knows she's it. I love being right :)
