Happy Easter!

This was actually Maya's second Easter. Last year she was only a little over a week old on Easter. So this year was fun. Daddy and I put together a nice little Easter basket for her. I found a Dora basket at the store and we filled it. In the basket we put some bubbles, a toy car, some pacifiers, a book, and a big pink teddy bear.

In Donny's family they always hid the Easter basket & the kids would have to find it in the morning. Now this is not the way we did it in my family. The Easter basket was just set out for you & you searched for the eggs. So Donny put the basket in between the gates so that Maya would have to "find" her basket. And she did, with a little encouragement.

I think that Maya really enjoyed finding her Dora basket and pulling out all of the goodies inside. Of course the first thing that she really went for was the teddy bear (probably because it was sitting on top), and after the bear it was right on to the book. She LOVES books! This particular book has a bright colored fish on it and is called a clack book. It has very thick pages with a plastic coating and when you shake the book it makes a "clacking" sound. I think she really likes that not only does it have so many bright colors, and she can read it, but she can play with it too.
