Last Monday I told Anne that we were going to go on a long car ride and pick something up the next day. On Tuesday afternoon I got her into the car, brought our tablet along with us for entertainment purposes and headed out for a 50 mile trek in rush hour traffic to pick up her “package”. We got to the airport with about 15 minutes to spare before the “package’s” plane landed. Anne saw the luggage carousels and assumed immediately her package was a bag of some sort, imagine her surprise when she saw my mom.
Nevermind…you don’t have to imagine it! I will just show you the look on her face!
Her surprise was her Nana! Best look of joy ever! We spent the week running wild! We went to the Seattle Pacific Science Center, we went out for her very first grown up tea, and we drove out to Bremerton to visit family. On Easter Sunday, she got all dolled up in the dress I made her and we had a wonderful dinner at home with my cousins and mom visiting. It was absolutely lovely!
The dress turned out so different than I intended. I bought the wrong sized pattern (3 sizes too big) so I had to change the bodice sizing. Then I decided I didn’t like the collar so I removed that from the pattern all together. I also decided I didn’t like the skirt or the way that was assembled and I changed that too. I guess you could say I have finally become comfortable enough with clothes to do my own thing! WOOHOO!
Here is a shot of Anne with the Easter Bunny. She LOVES the Easter bunny and so do I because I get a nice picture of her once a year without her screaming bloody murder like she does with Santa!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!!
Thanks for sharing your Easter joy… I couldn’t help but smile while reading your blog post today!

She’s very photogenic. I love the dress! It’s as cute as can be on her, and I’m very impressed with your altering the pattern. =)
Way to go you seamstress you! Adorable photos of Anne in her dress and with the Easter bunny too 🙂 So glad that the blogging slipped off the plate,as “mom”time is Way More Important.
Jana’s and family are the best presents. And her dress turned out great!
There’s nothing like the look of complete and utter joy on a child’s face. The dress is perfect for Anne, not that she needed any help looking adorable, but it certainly suits her. I’m so glad you all had a wonderful Easter.
Great post!
Great smiles on Anne and her Easter dress is adorable. 🙂
