Springtime Fun

Today, Lily went on her first official Easter Egg Hunt. I'm sure you can guess that Lily didn't find any eggs. Actually, she didn't even look. She was content to wander Queens University, watching the other kids hunt. The important part is that she looked cute doing it!

Lily and I pose in front of this pretty bush. Maybe an azalea? Anyone know?

I put Lily in the gazebo to take pictures of her. She tried to be a good sport, but I'm sure she was wondering why Mommy stuck her on the bench and then walked away with the flashy thing, screaming "Smile! Smily, Lily!"

The boys don't look too excited about being forced to pose with the little girls, do they?

Shortly after this picture, she tried to eat the leaves.

On Friday, Leslie and I had attempted to take pictures of the kids at the mall with the Easter Bunny. Needless to say, it didn't go over well and we chose not to purchase the pictures of the kids screaming on the Bunny's lap. So, when the Hare himself showed up at Queens, I was wondering if Lily would pitch a fit again. Luckily, all she did was give him the evil eyeball and cling tightly to me. Notice that I'm using my body as a barrier between the rabbit and the baby.

Here is the obligatory easter egg picture. Yes, she munched on them too.

Saturday night, we went to Beth's birthday dinner. Lily was smitten with baby Leah Catherine and repeatedly tried to claw her away across some laps to get to the "Bay-Bee." The newborn was calm and demure, while my toddler was nutty and borderline psycho. It took a whole table full of people to entertain her. Note to self: Balsamic vinegar isn't the best thing to feed a whiny baby in order to entertain them.

Lily made sure to show off her belly button to her adoring fans...
