Today, in honor of the Heels making it to the NIT Championship game, Brianna wore her very adorable UNC tennis dress that finally fits! Tomorrow she will have to choose whether to root for Grandpa’s team or for Daddy’s team. Sorry, Grandpa, but I don’t like your chances…
We didn’t get to spend much time with her today as it was Parent’s Night Out at school! After enjoying a lovely ride on a beautiful spring evening in the convertible and a yummy dinner, we headed back to pick up the soon-to-be birthday girl. When we got home, she actually ASKED for her Easter egg! She seems to grasp that she gets one a day (and only one a day) from Mimi’s Easter basket. Today, she chose the purple egg with strawberry puffs inside (which she promptly inhaled). Then, we gave her her pre-birthday treat for the day – Tatie Kat’s Easter basket!
While I was unable to capture it, her face morphed into a big ooooooo face (you know, the delighted expression with the mouth all rounded in an O) when she saw this big bunny. There was also a little bunny that skittered across the floor when you pulled its tail – strangely, she wasn’t too sure what she thought of that.
More searching through the basket revealed mini M&Ms and chocolate covered pretzels! She wanted to dig into the pretzels right away, but we convinced her to wait until tomorrow since it was time for bed. She enjoyed telling us “eat tomorrow.” Trust me, she will remember!
In addition to trying chocolate covered pretzels for the first time, tomorrow she also gets to participate in a treasure hunt at school (and I get to help hide the eggs!) – stay tuned!
