Easter 2008

Tressa loved Easter this year. Even though she wasn't feeling great (yet another ear infection), she really enjoyed herself. It was too cool outside and looked like it was going to rain so the Easter Bunny hid the eggs in the house this year while we were at church.

On the go for more eggs

Tressa got a helmet and gear to go with her scooter she got for Christmas. Now she can ride it outside instead of in the house.

What's better than a kiss from Daddy.

Grandma J gave Tressa these cute pants, but she just couldn't take off her Easter dress to put on the whole outfit.

Easter Egg Hunt

This year we missed out on all the Easter Egg Hunts. Last year Tressa had four hunts to go on, this year we thought she would only have a change to get eggs on Easter. Luckily we found out last minute about the city's provided egg hunt on Saturday. She had fun with all the crafts, collecting eggs, and seeing the animals. Unfortunately it was so crowded she didn't actually get to pet any of them. But, she saw them and seemed happy with that.

The sea of eggs and people.

Tressa had no interest in getting close to the Easter Bunny.

Tressa got to make a pretty little flower. She did just a great job. She knew exactly how to thread the flower onto the stem, without any help from Mommy.

Tressa has one heck of an arm. I think she really surprised the people at the bean bag toss 'cause she threw it so hard.

Tressa was very good about waiting for her age group's turn to grab eggs.

She even played with the boy next to her while they waited.

New look

As you can probably tell, the blog has a new look. A few days ago our friend Lauren (Mia's mom, one of Tressa's China sister) asked if we wanted her to make a new design for the blog. Even though Ed does design websites for a living, he hasn't had time to update ours, so I jumped at the chance. Lauren's blog is incredible, you can check it out here. Now I'll just have to make sure to keep it updated or she'll be after me.. just kidding Lauren.

Tressa's 1st snow

Last week we had an unusual amount of snow hit here in Texas. We actually got snow on Tuesday and Friday. Of course it was almost 60 degrees in between. Crazy Texas weather, what can I say. Anyway, Tressa was thrilled. She got to go out and play in the snow twice.

Doesn't she look like a little michelin baby.

Tressa's (and Mommy's) first ever attempt at making a snowman.

Tressa and her friend LeighEvan had fun chasing Daddy.

Christmas 2007

Doesn't it look like she's thinking of something mischievous to do.
