Easter Sunday, 13 months old

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! Happy Easter to all of our family and friends. We truly hope you had a special day with each of your families.
This year, our family decided to try something new to celebrate the Easter holiday. It was only a small gathering of people since a few of our family members were on a Spring Break vacation. So, Amo Bishara and Auntie Helen (Randy's parents), invited us to Easter brunch at the Ritz Carlton. And oh my...you've never seen an Easter Brunch until you've seen the brunch at the Ritz. Thank goodness Helaina was on her best behavior and looked absolutely adorable in her Easter dress! Our relentless attempts to get a picture with the Easter Bunny
The chocolate filled Easter basket distracted her for a short while
Gorgeous, Gorgeous spread
This sweet table satisfied my sweet tooth...and that's one big sweet tooth!
Amo Jack and Auntie Georgette had an Easter cake made just for Helaina! We are going to share it with the neighborhood kids since they are always over visiting Helaina.
She turned 13 months old this past Friday. Each day she learns so much! She's speaking many words (probably close to 25) and is recalling the names for objects and people without being told beforehand.
Today I was telling Randy I wanted to get a picture of her before we ate brunch. She walked over to my purse, pulled out the camera, looked up and me, and said "camera." Randy and I just looked at each other...I think we both realized in that moment that we have to be very careful what we say in front of her! She's too smart for her own good.
