"These are days you'll remember...Never before and never since, will the whole world be warm as this...
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true...That you are blessed and lucky."

Easter Sunday

Marianna woke up to many presents from the Polish Easter bunny! She got some cute, musical stuffed animals and books for the trip!



She loved the Chickie that did the Chicken Dance (from the Polish Easter Bunny..)



Marianna didn't like the bunny ears and (as you can see) the bib...she hates bibs right now and is very good at RIPPING them off!!


(what do you mean we have to go??)


Oh, and I loved, loved, loved her Easter dress (compliments of Yia Yia!)





Marianna's "Easter Basket" from Grandma and Grandpa was a new walker filled with books and toys...and the Aflec duck which was a huge hit!!


On the move...again!

The Highlight of the day was the Easter bunny..
Marianna loved the Easter Bunny at the U-Club!


and she wishes everyone a Happy Easter!

Easter Weekend

Marianna had a very busy Saturday...take a look at all the stuff she got into..


On the Move..


Marianna was practicing A LOT of free standing today...she is able to stand for about 10 seconds at a time.








And her favorite activity is still pushing the car back and forth..and back again. This went on for a half hour before naptime.


Marianna hopes everyone has a Happy Easter with their families! Marianna is very lucky to celebrate TWO Easters. So the Polish Easter bunny was very busy preparing Marianna's first easter basket for tomorrow...Greek Easter (aka: Greaster) is not until the end of April. She is looking forward to both!



I am going out of town next week for work and hoping to get some last minute blogging in before I go. Marianna and I spent the day at home today. I am trying to soak up all the time with her that I can before I leave for Dallas :(

Kiss Kiss

Marianna has a photo album that is especially for her. We have filled it with pictures of all her cousins. We go through it often and name names and talk about our family. Marianna loves the picture of Jack when he was two. It is really big and she flips to it first every time. Lately, you tell Marianna to give a kiss to a stuff animal or a picture in a book and she will. It is usually an open mouth kiss and is quite funny. Here she is planting a kiss on Jack when she opens the book.
