Esmeralda's little frog

Esmeralda and I found a baby frog in Gram's yard.

It was literally only a half an inch long! So cute!!

Here she is trying to poke it in the bum to make it hop.

If you had a tattoo would you put it here?

Easter Egg Hunting

Esmeralda was the only little person at Easter this year, which sounds kind of sad and lonely, but the upside is that when you're the only little person, you get to hunt all the eggs by yourself...without any competition!

Egg hunting started in the living room at Aunt Robin's

house...and of course there were eggs hidden in the quilts

Some of the eggs had Littlest PetShop toys

inside...Esmeralda's new favorite thing

So cute in her Easter dress


Hunting eggs outside was fun too! She found eggs that talked to her: "I'm hiding", "Come and find me", "You found me."
(I think I heard that the Easter Bunny found these at Target)

And of course there were traditional eggs with chocolate inside!


After the hunt Esmeralda shared ice cream

and strawberries with Grandpa


Boy is that good!!

Aly's Birthday Gift

So when you pick out a cool gift for your cousin's birthday the new rule is that you open the package, and the box, to try it on...just to make sure it's a good gift. Then you re-wrap the gift, without it's original box, send it to your cousin, and hope that she doesn't notice that you've opened it. Hopefully she likes the gift you've picked out, cuz there's no returning it when you apply this new rule of gift giving. Here's hoping!!
