Saturday we headed to the mall right before it opened to be first in line to see the Easter bunny. Little did we know the Easter bunny didn't clock in until 11am. So we walked around for a little bit, enjoyed a cinnabun and walked back to find a line. People don't mess around with this stuff!! We were so worried Jayla would have a melt down, with Mr. Bunny, but she LOVED him. Yes we cheated, I didn't want to buy the cheesy packages from their photographer, so I snapped a few myself!! Jearel even got video of it. They didn't even care. Good to know for the future.
This was Sunday night at Grandma and Grandpa Riley's house. (A bit out of order, I know! Does anyone know if they have a picture arranger on this thing?)
She is such a little lady!
Saturday afternoon Grandma and Grandpa Riley stopped by to help Jayla color her Easter eggs. As you can see daddy bought the princess decorating kit!
Jay was a little hesitant at first, but it didn't take her long to bust out her crafty side (she gets that from her Grandma Skorstad)!!
Every egg had to have a sticker, of course!
The finished work of art!
Then came Easter morning!! Jayla was so excited to see her basket the Easter bunny left her. She went straight for a sucker and opened it up for the perfect nutritional breakfast!!~Notice in this picture she is wearing big girl panties~
Jayla has been doing a GREAT job with using the potty over the past 2 weeks. Her success rate is about 90%. A few accidents here and there, mostly when she is hard a play and forgets to take a break to use the potty. Oh and of course she is lacking getting the pooping thing down. I thought for sure she would be golden with that, since this was the first thing she ever did on the potty. Either way we are soooo very proud of our big girl and I am happy to say we are diaper free through out the day. I am sure it will be a matter of weeks before she is FULLY potty trained. I also owe a HUGE thank you to Grandma Riley for helping make this happen.
Happy girl!
The Easter bunny and Grandma and Grandpa Skorstad spoiled her with gifts, Easter morning!
After we watched Jay open her presents, we rushed out of the house to head down to The Wigwam Resort for an Easter egg hunt and brunch. Jayla instantly became a star. Not sure if anyone catched her on news channel 3, but Brittney Shipp interviewed Jayla and daddy. It was so cute!! Here is proof of my little star :). She said "Happy Easter" to everyone watching!!
hunting for the eggs
YAY! Jayla got to see the Easter bunny AGAIN. She was a little scared of this one.
We all enjoyed a YUMMY brunch at The Wigwam. Champagne, prime rib, crab, shrimp... you name it, we ate it!! Jayla was a big fan of the deserts.
After we left The Wigwam, we headed over to see our good friends the Roselands. Jayla was missing her best friend, Lola.
Seriously, can there be any cuter picture than this?!
These two have one special bond and it gets cuter and cuter to see them together!!
That night we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Riley's house (pics in the beginning of the post), where Jayla got spoiled once more. We enjoyed the BEST dinner, prime rib, grilled veggies, potatoes and the best salad in town! There is something about Jearel's mom's salads that are to die for!!
Thank you mom and dad for the cutest presents for Jay. I wish you guys could have been here. We miss you so much!
Thank you to Phyllis and Larry for never wanting to miss a moment with Jay. She is in love with her little bunny. Also thanks for the yummy dinner!
Hope everyone had a great Easter!!

You guys kept BUSY! Now I'm feeling guilty for not bringing Camden to see Mr. Bunny, but like you, I thought for sure she'd freak & that it wouldn't be worth it?! Next year for sure.
I love Jayla's big smile on Easter morning, and how TAN is she? Whattya' put on that child- bronzer or somethin!? : )
LOVE the colored Easter eggs that you guys painted, so pretty!!!
Mr. Bunny and Jayla picture was very cute! My kids will probably never make it to see it or Santa :( I don't want to battle the lines, even if there aren't any lines, I can't bring myself to do it...so until they ask, we skip - but Jay looks cute!
Did they actually make it on the news? I don't watch the news (pisses my parents off, but I can't catch it - too much Gabba on I guess)! Even if they didn't, how cool that Jayla had her first 15 minutes of fame when she was 2!
So glad you came by to play with us! You got some very cute pictures of the girls! I just emailed you the little collage picture that I put together (and also added to my blog's Easter post!) Our girls are getting so big!
Had fun with you tonight at the pizza joint and watching the kidds go crazy with the water at Park West! Nice last minute decision for dinner - how we Rosie's roll :)
