Macy's

We took Olivia to the flower show at Macy's. She really enjoyed looking at and smelling all of the flowers. She especially liked the flowers that were hanging from the ceiling.

Olivia's excitement for the flowers completely disappeared when she caught sight of the purse department. She was thrilled to see all of the purses and immediately found a purse she liked and kept saying "Livy's purse, Livy's purse" while she was trying to take it out of the case.

It turns out Olivia found a lot of fun things to do at Macy's. She enjoyed going up and down the escalator with her dad over and over again.

She also had a lot of fun putting on a fashion show in the hat department. I would have never guessed that Macy's had so much fun to offer, but it did and we had a great time.

Don't leave home without them.........

Olivia has decided that she doesn't like to leave the apartment without something in each hand. They can be the most random items, like the top to her puzzle box and flashcards that she quickly grabbed before going down stairs to say good-bye to her dad.

But she does have some favorites, for a long time her favorite items to take with her have been the vacuum brush and a role of masking tape. Recently purses and her dolls are taking over as her favorite things to take, but she still holds a special place for the masking tape and vacuum brush, just yesterday she asked to hold them while eating her lunch.

Even when we are going on a long outing to the city in her stroller, she holds on tightly to her selected items the whole trip.

Easter weekend

Easter weekend was filled with a lot of fun!

General Conference:
Olivia watched part of General Conference with us. She was very excited when it came time to sustain the general authorities, she kept wanting to raise her hand and sustain them even after it was finished.

I had her try to find the pictures of whoever was speaking. After President Monson finished speaking she said "more prophet, more prophet."

Church Easter egg hunt:

On Friday there was an Easter egg hunt for the Primary and Nursery children, Olivia was very excited. We had explained to her how an Easter egg hunt worked and she was ready with her basket and excited to find eggs. She did a really good job and ended up with a basket full of eggs.

As she was collecting her eggs one of them fell open and she realized there was candy inside. Trying to get to the candy became her focus the rest of the afternoon.

Long Island City Easter Egg Hunt:

The next day we went to an Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood.

Olivia remembered that the eggs had candy, so as soon as she grabbed one egg she sat down to enjoy her candy.

After the egg hunt Olivia had a lot of fun dancing.

Olivia was excited to see the Easter Bunny and wanted to give him a hug, she kept saying "please go to rabbit, please go to rabbit."

She also won a bunny hop race. She actually just competed against herself, this activity was set up for the older children, but Olivia wanted to give it a shot. All in all it was a really fun day!
