Happy Easter!

Here I am at The Dorchester, visiting Great Avi for Easter dinner! I was a mega hit in the lobby! (Thank you to our neighbour, Michelle, for my first set of bunny ears! And again to Robyn, for this gorgeous dress!)

 

Auntie brought me this special stuffed chick... it was hers when she was little! Merci!

 

I love to give my stuffies a big SQUISH!

Dinner in the private dining room! I am a professional at this now!

I am currently into lining things up (like my bath toys along the edge of the tub, the snacks out of my cup...) and my peas on the armrest were no different!

The next afternoon, the lovely Bryce Family came over to help me with my first Easter Egg Hunt! since I am almost 15 months old, the Easter Bunny figured I would be ready to partake in the fun!

 

 

 

 

That Easter Bunny isn't too sneaky for me!

 

 

 Here I am being spoiled by Avery - feed me some muffin, please!

 

This could be a Christmas card picture!

 

 

 

Jenny, Bailey and Koby came to join in the fun... and check out what the other kids in the neighbourhood were doing outside!

Perfection!

Mimi invited Mo over for a sleepover so Jeff and Ash could head up to Big White for their second and final time of the season! Turns out, it was the best day to go!

 

Amazing weather, great snow, NO line-ups... it was PERFECTION!

(I don't know how perfect Jeff's pose is, though...)

 

 

We were feeling so good, we thought: "Why not try The Cliff again!?"

(Ash had a few reasons why not...)

Like last time, we took the trail straight across the hugely steep hill (without looking up!).

 

After careful examination of the map, we took the "Cliff Ski Out" trail, which led straight back to the Black Forest chair. And we survived!!! It was super easy and we can't wait to get Car out there next year!

Bubbles!!!

 

Can you tell that it's my first time seeing them???

 

Try to catch them!

 

It's pretty funny when they fly away or pop!

 

Haha! I stole the bottle from Daddy!

I... can... almost... reach... it...

We really hope this glorious weather continues so we can get outside and blow/chase/catch more bubbles! Great pic Ash/Mom!!!!

My Buddies!

Chillin' with my homies! Here I am with Koby, Cooper, Presley and Bailey over at Jenny's house, just before bed! 

 My new dentist buddy, Dr. Ehn! Here I am in the chair for the first time, getting my teeth counted. Apparently all is looking good and I don't have to go back for quite a while!

 

My Big Buddy, Grandpa Dan! He made the drive from the island - all by himself - to see me for just two days! Aren't I lucky??? He even brought me diapers and food! What a spoiled little girl!

14 Months Old!

Uncle Scott was here to visit (and work a bit!) before heading down to Mexico to do some comedy. (Sweet gig!) The shows at O'Flannigan's and Dakoda's were not spectacular, but the one at the Casino was a success! (Must have been this great marketing tool!)

Scott's GF, Auntie Karen, had just mailed a HUGE parcel for Christmas, New Year's, first birthday, Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day. She is so sweet! (We were shocked that she forgot St. Patrick's Day and President's Day - ha!) Simone had so much fun opening all of the generous gifts...

... including this adorable Lambchop puppet! (Auntie Karen's 20-year-old daughter, Lindsay, was hoping to keep it for herself!)

One of the items was this adorable onesie, that we made sure Simone wore while Uncle was in town:

During a visit with Auntie Tess, the girls got a bit sheepish.

Thank you (again!) SO MUCH to Shelley and Grace for sharing another couple of huge bags of toys, books and clothes! We love this funky outfit and ride-on bus!

In other, somewhat devastating news, we survived SIMONIA 2013! I guess we have daycare to thank, where little Sebbie was actually hospitalized for his pneumonia. We were fortunate enough to not end up in the hospital, in isolation and on oxygen like this little man, but we did deal with a very yucky cough, some very rough nights and a pretty miserable little pumpkin. We also endured our first antibiotics presciption and discovered that it will be our last round of penicillin! Turns out Little Miss Mo has the same allergy as Maman! Here is a picture of how the rash started out:

 It got much worse (way more bumps, more enflamed and covering more of her body), but has since begun to fade. Mo has been alternating with good and bad nights, but only a few more sleeps until March Break, when we will have two full weeks to relax and get refreshed! (After report cards are done, of course!!!)
