Happy Easter!

On Saturday, we went to Aunt Nancy's house to have a family Easter dinner. No ham--we went south of the border with enchiladas and tamales. Ella had a blast playing in the backyard and getting all sorts of attention.

Here she is posing with the Wilder side of her family . . . maybe Ella should be a dentist when she grows up :) I think she's wondering what kind of family she was born into--the old ones are getting a little nutty!

Ella and Nonna share a laugh when the teeth come out . . .

After dinner, we put her in her Easter dress which is actually just a cute dress Nonna bought her months ago. It's still a little big for her, but she had great fun walking around the yard lifting her skirt--Mommy never puts her in dresses, so poor Ella does not know what to do with all those ruffles!

She did, however, know how to pose with the flowers . . .


Of course we played Baggo. Ella had fun wandering between the two sides and causing delays in the game.

This was Ella's reaction after Uncle Greg missed a throw that could have won he and Erin the game . . .

On Sunday morning, I put Ella in a hand-me-down dress from her cousin Vanessa for Easter services at church. After church we came home and Ella played a little in her dress. Here she is reading the new Mother Goose book Aunt Nancy bought her.


Here Ella is playing with her new Ball Popper . . .

And here, Ella is being naughty by getting up on the box that her little chair from Grandma Grahl came in--she is a little daredevil!!
