Easter 2014

We hosted family at our home yesterday to celebrate Easter, and Iyla had an absolute BLAST. She could hardly contain herself- everywhere she turned there was another person she loved and adored! It was a happy, happy day. 

Here are some photos from the festivities:

Sweet baby girl in her Easter dress

Iyla's Easter loot! A new chair and basket full of goodies

She especially loved the ladybug girl, a bouncy ball that lit up, the Etch a Sketch (such a PERFECT first 'drawing' item for this age!) and of course, the books

Iyla had awoken from her nap fussy, and I was worried we may have a repeat of the Infamous Easter of 2013. The second her Mimi and Grampy arrived, however, the sun came out in SPADES! 
Happy girl, seen here giving her Mimi a "nosie."

Presents from Mimi and Grampy

She made sure Grampy had plenty of toys to choose from

Someone loves her Grampy!

FOUR generations! An amazing and beautiful thing.

  1. What a fun looking day! That chair is adorable and tastefully upholstered - something that is hard to find in little kid chairs! Where did you find it?

    1. Thanks Belle! It is a Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair- the "Vivian Floral Gray and Yellow" pattern. I LOVED it the second I laid eyes on it, and it is even more darling in person. Iyla is a huge fan! http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/aubrey-floral-gray-and-yellow-anywhere-chair/?pkey=e%7Canywhere%2Bchair%7C141%7Cbest%7C0%7Cviewall%7C24%7C%7C79&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules
