happy easter elenora!

i awoke this morning to elenora's sweet face and wildly curly hair about an inch from my cheek.  "can i open my present now?" she asked.  (i had left her new easter dress wrapped up in tissue paper outside of her bedroom door for her to find.)  

after a breakfast of strawberry pancakes, melon, and lots of VT maple syrup, we headed off to park street church.  elenora was so good during church, and it was so sweet to hear her singing along.

after church we met up with momby and r., and j. and h. and gracie at a buffet brunch.  the easter bunny was there too.  this is about as close as ella was willing to sit.

we all love taking turns holding sweet little grace, who was so good all during brunch.

j. and i purchased this sweet dress in woodstock at a boutique.

here's ella's car dance on the way home:
