Hopped Up on Candy

By -
Easter morning at our house was really fun this year. Grace was actually able to understand that it was a special day although she still didn't quite get that some bunny was coming by to drop off a basket for her.

When she woke up, Grace found her Easter basket pail full of goodies:


She got two super cute Easter outfits from Gymboree, some colored bubbles, and her very own "everything a girl needs" kit including a blow dryer, curling iron, straightener, curlers, lipstick, brush, and perfume.

Grace loved the fake lipstick, and Daddy and I both got to put some on many times that morning.

Isaac gave Grace a bath so we could head over to Grammy and Grandpa's house for an Easter egg hunt.

While we got ready, Grace played with her Bunny Pez from Kasie and ate all the candy:


As soon as we got to Grammy's house, Grace was greeted with another Easter gift:


It was almost as tall as she was:


This time, she got another new Gymboree outfit (Charley got a matching one, too!), a new swim suit for summer and a monkey towel, a kite, a Smurfs book, an Aqua Pet, and a bubble gun:



Then, Grace went out in the backyard to hunt for eggs that the Easter Bunny left for her:








Once Grandpa showed her that there was candy inside, it was all over.

She was perfectly content to let Daddy find the rest of the eggs while her and Grandpa shared the goodies:


Once we finished up the egg hunt, we headed home for a much needed nap since we still had two more houses to go to.

After our nap, my Dad's house was up next.

When we got there, Grace got another Easter basket. This one was all about Elmo:


It had Elmo pouches (Grace's favorite!), candy, silly string, bubbles, and even the new Muppets movie. 

Grace was so cute looking through it all:


After she finished, we went out in the back yard to hang out for a bit.

Grace loved the "foushas" (flowers), and I taught her how to make a wish by blowing on a Dandelion:






She also had fun playing with Callie Kitty:

 

Last, but not least, we made our way to Grandma & Grandpa Espejo's house for Easter dinner.

We forgot to bring the camera in for this one, but we had a delicious meal with ham, corn, pasta, and all of the traditional sides.

It was so yummy!

Grace also got yet another Easter basket:


This one had eggs full of candy, more bubbles, and a cute little bunny that wiggles his nose and tail.

Grace was so hopped up on sugar that I didn't think she'd ever go to bed that night!

We didn't get to see Grandma Lisa on Easter, because she came down with a bad cold.

She made sure to bring Grace some Easter baskets on Monday morning though:


Grace got more bubbles, tons of stickers, stamps, a Hello Kitty purse with chap sticks inside, and a Dora painting book.

Just in case you lost count, that's SIX Easter baskets for one kid.

I think it's safe to say Grace had a verrrry Hoppy Easter!!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
