Easter 2009

Ella and Coltyn had an enjoyable Easter weekend. On Sunday, they attended church w/ Mom and Dad. Coltyn slept most of the time, however, Ella watched/listened in amazement during the entire service. During communion, a loud bell rang to proclaim the significance of the moment. It was in the quiet moment that immediately followed when Ella belted out a loud, “Clock!”. When Mom and Dad whispered the correction into her ear that what she heard was not a clock, but rather a bell, she replied with an even louder, “Bell!”. The neighboring churchgoers smiled and laughed at Ella’s “innocence”.

Later that day, they trekked to Gladys’ house for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. Ella seemed to master to art of searching for eggs, as her basket would indicate.

That evening, they visited with the Price’s at Uncle Toey and Aunt Andrea’s house. Upon arrival, Ella opened her Easter baskets to find several dress up outfits, DVD’s, candy, and other items. In addition, she received a special Cinderella music box from Gi-Gi, that now has found a permanent home in the arms of Ella as she sleeps at night. Coltyn, clearly exhausted from the day’s events, chose to the sleep the entire time in the arms of Aunt Bonnie, Aunt Margie, Nana, and others.
