They're bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun

We had a wonderful Easter today and we hope you all did, as well. It's been quite a while since I posted a blog, so I thought I'd share a little bit about today.

We were able to see both families, starting out with mine this morning in Chandler and finishing up with Brian's this afternoon in Surprise. Carolyn was such a trooper the whole day. Although she was completely off her schedule, she still napped for an hour and a half for us at Kara's. For anyone who is not familiar with the historical sleep patterns of this child (and how easily they can fall victim to a wacky schedule like today's), that's definitely something to be happy about. It was good, too, because she was rested and able to have a blast playing with her cousins (and all their toys, on which I'll elaborate shortly).

Brian has posted a bunch of photos from today in the album to the right. Please check them out, some have captions. I can't say it enough, we had a fantastic day with all our family. Thanks to everyone who fed us and spoiled Little C.

Speaking of the spoiling, it hardly needs mentioning that Carolyn received quite a few gifts today from her parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. At the end of the day, what did she love the most?

Why of course this Tigger doll that belongs to Addison and has been played with so much that the batteries are now kaput:



Carolyn found this Tigger in the playroom earlier in the afternoon. She never seemed especially taken with it, but boy did feelings change when it was time to go. She latched on to him and REFUSED to let him go. Of course Carolyn leaving the house with one of Addison's toys didn't sit too well with Addison. I felt bad, but Kara assured us that Addison never plays with him and that he would be able to spend a week at our house.

Carolyn played with Tigger the whole car ride home. She made him clap his hands, made him bounce, gave him kisses. She was so happy with him, and I have to say, it was the cutest thing ever.

We'll return Tigger next weekend when we head back out to Surprise for Addison's third birthday party. Hopefully the infatuation will have worn off by then. If not, I see the purchase of a jumping Tigger in my near future...
