Happy Easter!

Brenna celebrated her 1st Easter this weekend with a trip to Show Low - Grandma and Grandpa Pearson's house. Aunt Jamie was there for a visit too! She got lots of cuddles and attention, played with lots of plastic eggs, and got 2 baskets of goodies. Grandma and Grandpa just about out-did the Easter Bunny, but I'm sure he'll catch on by next year. She also got to play on a big piano - it's a lot more fun than the little piano that she got a week or so ago. She played some beautiful music! She got to go on trips around the yard with Grandpa Dave, had a visit with Sean and Colton and took lots of naps. She also enjoyed eating pears - and even opened wide for them! Maybe it was the highchair (the same one that mommy and Aunt Jamie used when they were babies) that made the food so good! On Sunday, she watched the annual Easter traditions. First, we colored some eggs and then had an egg hunt. Grandpa Dave got some plastic eggs, loaded them up with goodies and hid them in the backyard. Then, mommy and Aunt Jamie hunted them while Brenna and Grandma Diane watched from the deck (she'll get to join in next year). Overall, it was a very fun first Easter! On the way home, we stopped to see Great Grandad Alvin and Great Aunt Sandy. It was a lot of fun to visit with them and watch Brenna play. She put on a show for them - and they'd enjoyed getting to see her. Best of all, the news on Sunday night was that the nasal conformer is finally out! After a weekend of sneezing (and having trouble wiping her nose) we decided to get that thing out. We'd been told that she'd kept it in longer than most kids (it could've fallen out on it's own starting 2 weeks ago, but hadn't). The doctor's office told us how we could help get it out, so we tried it. It was torture to Brenna, but when we got it out, we were all very relieved. Now we can see her beautiful face without a plastic thing in the way. It is a little irritated from all the sneezing and wiping, but she does look gorgeous anyway!
