Gifts Are Fun!

Who doesn't like to receive a gift every now and then? I know I sure do! I received this cute gift on Easter Sunday from my grandson, Caden. It was so pretty, that I almost hated to open it up....Maybe I'll share what was inside on another post....

Anyway, it's my turn to do the gift giving...I am giving away one of these cute little bubble buckets that I found while shopping the other day. What a neat idea! No more spilled bubbles. Who can resist Disney Princesses or Toy Story--not me! I love Buzz and Woody!

In just 10 days-- I will be giving away these cute little bubble buckets to two lucky people! If you would like to have one of them, just leave me a comment telling me which one you would like to have. On April 19, I will draw a winner for each of the buckets. That's it...two gifts for two special people...

Thanks for stopping by, and do come again soon...Coming up soon...my one year "blogiversary"! Be sure to come back and help me celebrate...

Have a great weekend,

Kathy

Two Kinds of Bunnies...

Madison refused to have her picture taken with the Easter Bunny at the mall...but she did agree to let this sweet little live bunny share the bench with her at her last photo session...

The bunny almost looks "fake" doesn't he?

This was the first time that she has agreed to let the live bunnies anywhere near her since she was a baby, so we were thrilled! Caden didn't have a problem at all with the Easter Bunny...he wasn't afraid of Santa at Christmas either...

I was thrilled to get photos of both of my "grand"children for Easter...and each was posing with an Easter Bunny. Funny how things work out, isn't it?

Favorite Photos Of My Favorite Little Ones...

The theme of Tuesday's blog hop is Favorite Photos. These are just a few of my favorite Easter photographs of my grandchildren. I'm always happy to share, I hope you enjoy...

I love this picture! Caden's got his Easter shirt on, his bucket in hand, and he's off to find some Easter eggs...

Isn't this the cutest little outfit? Caden looks like an old-fashioned "newsboy". I just loved the little cap! By the way..his whole family was color-coordinated on Easter.

I happened to have my camera in my purse on a recent shopping trip with Madison. I thought the bucket on her head was a nice fashion statement!

Caden loved my tub of eggs! We actually hid and found all of these eggs on Easter Sunday...Caden loved playing with those eggs more than finding them.

Madison was not in the mood to have her picture made after church. I snapped this photo of her quickly as she was on the way to change out of her dress. This was the first year that she asked for an Easter bonnet. She loved her hat!

Caden's Easter...Last Year

Caden went to church, then spent a good bit of the afternoon snoozing in MiMi's crib...which is the same crib that Caden's daddy used to snooze in.
I usually have my crib full of dolls...but on Easter, I had a "living doll" in it!


Caden woke up from his nap, and joined the family outside for an egg hunt, and some family photographs. Wow, he sure has changed!

After being outside for a while, Caden came inside and checked out the Easter basket that MiMi had made for him...It was a monkey basket that screeches when it's pressed...The basket was nearly as big as he was!

Checking out those plastic Easter eggs...They sure are pretty and colorful! As I was getting these photographs ready to post, I was noticing how much Caden has changed...it's hard to believe it's the same child! Have a Happy Easter, everyone! Thanks for stopping by...Kathy

Madison And The Easter Bunny...Not!

Brandy(my daughter), Madison, and I traveled 30 miles to the mall yesterday in hopes of letting Madison see The Easter Bunny.

We got up early, and made our way to the mall...despite the fact that I had pulled a muscle in my back the night before, and was having trouble getting up and down...

We arrived at the mall...only to find...that The Easter Bunny wasn't even home! Apparently, he only comes out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...Bummer!

MiMi wasn't going to let all of that pretty Easter scenery go to waste, so I bribed Madison into letting me take some pictures...Brandy distanced herself from us...she thought we were going to get into trouble! LOL

I was a good MiMi, and stayed on the other side of the fence...but only because Madison wouldn't go inside of the fence with me! I had to bribe Madison with a carousel ride to get the pics that I got....The things we have to do...

He Can Do It Himself!

Just imagine my surprise this week when Cade came for a visit--and proceeded to climb up the sliding board all by himself!

All I did was hold my hand close to his back for protection in case he got over-balanced.

Of course, he ran into a little trouble once when he tried to go back down the ladder of the slide--backwards!

As he was brushing the dirt off his hands and whinning, MiMi explained "That's why we don't go down the slide that way!"

That little boy...he never ceases to amaze me--and he makes me smile...

Madison...Easters Past...

Today's themed blog hop is Easter. I decided to document Madison's past Easters through pictures. Wow, look at how much she's changed--and I don't even have this year's photo included.


This was Madison in 2007...around 6 months of age...posing with the Easter gifts that she received that year. Easy to tell that she was an only grandchild--on both sides of the family!

Here's Madison, looking more grown-up in 2008. I (her MiMi) bought her Easter dress and shoes that year. So sweet...where does the time go?

Here Madison is, another year later, in 2009. Looking all grown up, but not too thrilled about having her picture made in her Easter dress. I loved her little dress--and especially those little pink slippers!

Thanks for strolling down memory lane with me, letting me re-live past Easters with my first grandchild... Just click on the link below to share other Easter posts...or add one of your own.
