Friday, April 2nd, we left for Lafayette after daddy got off of work. We got to Lafayette around 7:30. On Saturday we stayed at Maw Maw's all day playing outside, dying Easter eggs, and making rice crispy treats Easter eggs.

When Carly got to Maw Maw's that morning she just HAD to give Madeline her Easter present b/c she was SO excited about it! She got Madeline her first pair of pink ballet shoes and a black and pink bow for her hair with an M on it. It will be quit some time before Madeline can wear either, but she was excited about them...or at least about the bag they came in!

Madeline took a good long nap that morning and so Carly and mommy went outside and drew some pictures for her. Aunt Missy asked mommy if Madeline could feed herself Puffs. Mommy said, "Nope not yet." Then Aunt Missy said, "OH yes she can!" Go Madeline!!!!!
