Happy Easter and more!

We celebrated Easter with a trip to Show Low to visit grandparents and more! We enjoyed visits with Mark & Cindy, the McQuillan family and both sets of Brenna's grandparents! Although Brenna had celebrated Easter before, this one was much more interactive and a lot of fun! She also recieved lots of Easter baskets (the bunny came, but lots of loved ones spoiled her too) and is very grateful for all the fun toys and clothes that she recieved.
We started out the Easter celebrating with coloring eggs with the Pearson grandparents. She wasn't really allowed much independence with this project, but had fun nonetheless just watching the action! On Easter morning, she hunted eggs in the backyard and had so much fun - mommy thought she might lose interest, but boy was she wrong! When all the eggs had been found, she started picking up pinecones and adding them to her basket - what a cutie. She continued to hunt inside the house, in the front yard and would've continued if we let her (and had more time). Then we went to the Harvey grandparents' house and started another egg hunt and got another basket! We had some great food and company - not to mention the new hiding places for eggs!
Unfortunately, while we were gone, we had a sick Scruffy (he doesn't make it into many posts - he's sort of forgotten with all the activity of having a baby), so he went to the vet when we got back - turns out he's fine, just got a little anxious while we were gone - combined with a sensitive stomach (poor Wendt family that had to take care of him - thank goodness for them!) He's doing fine know - thankfully for my carpet. A few days after we got back home, Brenna had her followup with her Orthopedic Specialist - her x-ray showed that she's healing just fine and her collarbone looks the way it should after 3 weeks. She no longer needs the brace and she'll be able to play on playgrounds again at the end of the month. Thank goodness! We are starting to enjoy the wonderful weather here in the valley before it gets too hot and have been trying to spend some time outside. Brenna got a gardening set from the Easter Bunny, so we are learning about dirt - she loves it. We are hoping this weather sticks around for a bit longer - it is nice to be able to go outside - for those who like outside anyway =)
