Happy Easter...

and happy 80 degree weather at the beach! We had a blast at Seabrook last week celebrating Easter and had beautiful weather in the mid 80's!! It was so nice to soak in some rays and play on the beach. The water was freezing and Ella didn't like her toes being dipped in the water but loved to sit outside under the tent and on the sand playing with her toys. Dakota had the best time of all, she is definitely a beach dog and slept the entire way home and all day today recovering. In fact, all 4 of us were very tired after the beach and slept great last night.

We got to spend time with family and Ella got to meet my Aunt Jeanne, Uncle Steve and cousins Sean and Annie for the first time and also got to see Great Grandma who flew down from Rochester for the week along with DeeDee, Papa, Uncle Court and Jennifer. She loved the attention but she is going through a phase right now where she only wants to be held by me or Mike so she wasn't too sure about being passed around but got a little more comfortable as the weekend went on. It was so great seeing everyone!


Enjoying the beach and playing together, Ella and her doggie!

Got her bathing suit on and is ready to go! As always, the sunsets did not disappoint.

On Saturday,Ella got to go to her first Easter Egg Hunt (after the one in Charlotte was cancelled last week) and got to see some animals at the petting zoo.The baby chicks has just hatched and were so cute.

Daddy and Ella checking out the pony.

Check out the baby rabbits that were just born, they were so tiny. And Ella got her first Easter Egg, a pink one to match her outfit of course! They were real hard boiled eggs and Ella immediately tried to put it in her mouth, not yet!

After hunting, we came home to enjoy the sunset on the back deck. Ella loves her Daddy and his kisses.

Another beautiful night!

Check out those big blue eyes and big smile!

Grandma and Mike peeled shrimp for dinner and complained the entire time but they sure were tasty. Nothing better than fresh shrimp just caught:) Ella didn't complain though, she was happy with her cheerios.
