Easter with Grammy and Pawpop!This is the ever coveted "Chocolate Bunny!" She saw them in the stores (how can you miss the entire row of bunnies). Seriously, marketing sometimes drives me crazy. Well, to head off the plea while in the grocery cart, I explained simply that chocolate bunnies were for easter baskets. So, when she found out she was getting a basket at Grammy's, she talked about the chocolate bunny non-stop for about two days. I tried my best to find the smallest bunny possible!
Small as it was, she ate the entire thing, ever so slowly, until completion. Of course, that is ALL she ate that day and we paid for a few days with the sugar high, but it was so fun to see the excitement that something so small can bring to one adorable little girl.
PawPop made a great Easter Bunny and Suzy had a wonderful time collecting the eggs.
It was a little chilly that day, so Grammy let Suzy borrow a poncho that her Aunt Barbara used to wear as a little girl. I'm hoping to get some good pictures of Barabara's little girls wearing it as well when they come for a visit this summer.

I just love the curls and the beautiful colors of the poncho in this photo.
She liked the stickers and M&Ms, but was not as impressed this round with the Cheerios. When we hosted the egg hunt at our house, there was quite a bit of scatter left out in the yard after the mass of toddlers had eaten their fill. I explained to Suzy that we didn't need to pick up the discarded puffs and Cheerios because the birds would get them. So, she would clap and get excited when she found "candy!" but simply dumped out the snacks and said, "This is birdie food!"
