Marlowe's First Easter

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not so into Easter (or any holiday). Well, I love Halloween, but other than that I'm pretty indifferent to holiday celebrations. I'm not a debbie downer or anything... we did kind of have a tree for Christmas and I still put Marlowe in a cute dress with carrots on it... but you know, whatever. I most likely will be doing easter baskets once she's old enough. The baskets my mom put out were always the best (she still sends them now--- &they still rule) and I was always so excited to find them... I want to be able to bring that excitement to Marlowe too.

I haven't left the house much lately. I've been overly tired. Marlowe's sleep schedule is almost like a newborn again-- waking every 2 hours to feed. It's been difficult for my body to readjust. Not only that, but some days naps are slim to none. (wah, I know. I'm whining). Even last night when Marlowe managed to give me four hours in a row I was still pooped beyond belief all of today. Everyone was out partying, drinking, and dancing last night until 4,5, even 6 in the morning &I was at home just hoping to sleep enough to get me through the day. (wah, I'm still whining... ok, fine, I'll stop).

Anyway, the weather was great today. Marlowe &I dressed up and heading to my dad's house (with Eric) for some easter-brunching. My step mom made a fair amount of foods &Eric &I attempted to make waffles. Marlowe clung to me all morning/afternoon like the end of the world was going to arrive if she wasn't in my arms.

Later that evening we heading over to Eric's parents house for easter dinner. There was also a fair amount of food, people, &eastering. Marlowe received an easter basket &went on her first easter egg hunt (sort of). Eric &I filled our bellies with food and headed home.
