The one day of the year that I let my child have candy at 8:30 in the morning.  It was her first Easter Basket, I couldn't resist.

In the spirit of the very colorful holiday, I decided to make some special "Lavender" pancakes.  I love that they make the neon colors.  I'm not really sure how I just found out about these but they are amazing!!

My beautiful angel with her juice box buddy.  She was getting pretty antsy waiting on us to get ready to go to my grandmother's for Easter "Dinner" (lunch to everyone not from the south) and thankfully she didn't spill any juice on herself as she has a habit of doing :)

It's hard to tell in this photo but after taking down her pigtails, her hair kind of resembled two floppy dog's ears.  She's not so photogenic when people want to pose with her, so this is kind of a rare shot.

The beginning of the day went well, mostly.  Hadley was getting cranky towards the late part of the afternoon.  About 3a.m. she caught a bug and was up getting sick until almost 6 a.m.  However, after going back to sleep, she was perfectly normal when she woke up.  Unfortunately, a day later, the same bug hit Branden and myself.  Thankfully the virus didn't last long, but it definitely decided to be an unwelcome visitor.
