Happy Easter!

Happy (late) Easter, everyone! Sorry for the late update, but for those who haven't heard my computer crashed Sunday night and I just got it back. Anyways, Easter was wonderful! We dyed some eggs a couple of days before...we actually had a variety of different colored eggs, until Leila decided she wanted them ALL pink, and starting dumping the already dyed eggs into the pink bowl...we ended up with a handful of pink eggs, some purple eggs and a lot of brownish, over-dyed eggs! ; )

Leila and the puppies got some fab baskets from the Easter bunny:

looooves her new shades!

and then a little egg hunt in the backyard. Tony thought my eggs were lame - they were filled with organic fruit snacks, some socks and undies, some dollars and quarters for her piggie bank and a couple of chapsticks. I thought they were good, but Tony didn't like the lack of candy.

Then we headed over to my Auntie Mary's and Uncle Ralph's for a really lovely Easter celebration with family, some of which we hadn't seen in a while - it was so nice to reconnect!

Easter was so much fun! I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday too!!

Dance - week 2

Leila had a much better time at dance this week than she did last week! All afternoon we practiced "tap tapping" and "balleting" and by the time we had to leave Leila couldn't wait to dance, dance, dance!

When we got there she picked out a green crown to look like Tinkerbell:

and then she tried out a tough, new move:

After ballet she moved on to tap, her favorite!

And her sweet teacher, Miss Jamie made the girls some super cute cupcakes for Easter! Leila and I both had a great time at dance this week!!

Dance!

Leila's first dance class was yesterday, and I think she'd give it mixed reviews. We've been getting her excited for dance ever since I signed her up. We've been doing tap moves on the kitchen floor for weeks, and when she woke up from her VERY short nap yesterday she couldn't wait to go to dance.

<-- here she is, so excited to go!

Then we got to dance....she didn't want me to put her down, and had a kung-fu death grip on me! I did the entire ballet portion of the class holding Leila...at least I've still got some moves ; )

The teacher (fortunately) brought her baby to class...the baby dropped something, and Leila jumped down from me, ran over to pick up whatever it was and was *quite* impressed with the lovely noise her "tap tap shoes" were making. That broke the ice, and Leila tapped the rest of the class.

After class we stuck around a little bit to watch some big girls dance. Leila loved watching them and said she wanted to come back next week.

I think she'll get more comfortable at every class!
