 What, did you actually think there weren't any Easter pictures? The world might cease to exist as we know it if I didn't post the standard Sophie holiday cuteness.
The Sophmeister is fairly rough-and-tumble tomboyish UNTIL she's dressed up. Then she suddenly becomes dainty little Lady McPrude. The frillier the outfit, the more persnickety she is. This year's Easter outfit was a blue-and-white toile dress with petticoat and matching bloomers and white Mary Janes with a teensy little heel. I didn't have to worry about putting a bib on her that day; SHE was freaking out over getting food on her dress. A rather abrupt change of tune for the kid who put her bowl on her head during breakfast.
We invited both sets of Sophie's grandparents to our house for Easter brunch. Sophie packed away more fruit salad and sausage brunch braid than any of the adults, and that was her SECOND meal of the day. Here is a picture of Sophie holding one of the holiday-themed stuffed animals she received for Easter. If she looks a wee bit cranky here, it's because she had just discovered a complete lack of chocolate in her Easter basket.
The basket, already emptied of all its practical, wholesome treats.
Why Easter grass and toddlers don't mix. She did a fair job of distributing it throughout the kitchen and breakfast room, so if you're in need of a cute girlchild to toss flower petals at your wedding, Lady McPrude is officially for hire.
Easter dinner (marinated leg of lamb and a dazzling array of Greek delicacies) was at a friend's place in VA. At some point during the drive down there, Sophie whipped off her shoes and proceeded to pull at a snag in the toe of her tights. Then realizing that she had ruined her tights, she spent the rest of the ride looking at the snag and crying, despite my assurances that no one would see it once she put her shoes back on. See? Persnickety! Picture the meltdown this kid might have in 15 years when she discovers a run in her hose on prom night.
Allura took this picture after dinner, while Sophie was on a short break from torturing Bert The Cat and typing 6-6-6 into Michelle's phone. Tiny toes poking out and hair disheveled, but contented with a tummy full of lamb and lemon meringue pie.
