Yesterday, our community had their annual Easter Eggstravaganza. Last year, Lyla was only a week old (and Mark was on a trip), so with the help of my mom, it was my first real "outing" with the girls. This year was quite a different scenario. The weather was the same - sunny, cool, and windy, but Nina needed zero assistance or prompting this year when it came to the big egg hunt, and Lyla even participated in the egg hunt somewhat. Here's our little bunny after collecting a basket full of eggs.
They had a special treat this year of a little petting zoo. Nina (with Mark) did get in the pen with the sheep, goats, and llamas, but her favorite BY FAR were the baby bunnies. The nice gentleman in charge of the bunnies made an exception to allow her to hold one when he saw how much she liked them. 
He let her hold the baby bunny in her jacket like Fern does with Wilbur in Charlotte's Web. Nina likes that movie, and often imitates that action with her stuffed animals, so this was a big treat to hold a real bunny in her jacket!
She was happy again to see an Easter Bunny! 
Lyla wasn't too sure about all the people, noises, activity, etc., so she preferred to hang on the outside of the action or hang right next to mom or dad, but she still seemed to enjoy herself.
Nina even got to have some peek-a-boo fun with the Caribou Coffee caribou who was on hand for the occasion. After a busy morning, the girls had a little down time then we all went to DC United's game that evening. The team won, and there was no leaving early with crying kids, so I guess that means it was a success!
Much of today was spent outdoors in the back yard. We finally got sand in the sand box, and the girls played a lot outside while Mark cleared out a section of grass and built us a garden where we'll hopefully be growing some tasty fruits and vegetables this summer!
In the evening we went over to our friends' house in the neighborhood for dinner and hang time. Teresa took some cute pictures of Caz and Nina together, so I'll get those from her and update this post a little later. We are all pretty wiped out from the activities, but we had a great weekend!
