Planting and Park Fun with Grandmom

Chris took Clara to NJ for a visit while Mommy helped Grandma Pretz host Katie's Bridal SHower

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter morning at home before heading to Mass and joining the family for brunch. The Easter bunny brought Clara a play-doh set, the Hi-Ho Cherry-o game, and a hello Kitty clipboard for her drawing. The most fun was the egg hunt in Grandma's front yard. Clara was so excited to find each one. When she thought she had found them all, she said "I need more." She would gasp in delight and run over to the next egg she spotted. We enjoyed the weekend so much! Jessie joined us for Sunday brunch; and Joanie was home and got engaged to Cecil Johnson on Monday night! Uncle Mark was Clara's buddy for the weekend and kept her delightfully entertained.

Easter Preparations

Clara had a wonderful time dying Easter eggs. We even went out to buy more!
While the eggs dried, she helped Mommy make some bunny cookies with the star sprinkles she picked out.

A Handmade Gift

Clara received a very special gift in the mail today from Papa (Great Grandpa Larson). She has a handmade wooden flower pot, complete with her name and Papa's name etched on the sides. It came filled with two bright tulips for her to enjoy and remind her of spring. She has chosen the perfect spot for her gift - a centerpiece on her tea party table!

Wishing you all a very happy spring!
