A Trip to the Duck Pond

Mathew wanted to give Elle a baby duck or baby rabbit for Easter, but we decided against it. That was a mistake. I took Elle to the duck pond today and there were two baby ducks for her to play with. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard! As you go through the pictures try to imagine what she's thinking. Enjoy!

And then, once she's figured it out - she's on to something else.

Chasing....

the ducks! What a fun day with little Elle Belle!

a super hero birthday party

my incredibly talented friend (brittany n.) had a super hero birthday party for her two little kids. elle had a GREAT time wearing her princess cape.

she loved that i let her hold on to the cotton candy

of course elle found the dog and fell in love

all of the kids lined up wearing their super hero capes

hunting for eggs

Our dear friends (Joe and Britt N.) from the MBA program invited us over to the Taylor's (Britt's family) for dinner. We had such a great time. After dinner there was even a little Easter egg hunt for Hunter and Elle. mathew found a bug and elle was very curious

i love that elle (sometimes) wants to hold our hands

elle kept calling the lions on the front porch "dawgs"
