Easter & Fake Easter

So I got this hat at an estate sale last summer. I thought it was to die for, and it fits Seville, so it was to be her Easter Hat for this year. The rest of her outfit was made to match, including the organza silk shawl.

Here she is enthusiastically running around looking for Easter goodies.

And taking a break to devour a peep.
And swinging, as she is wont to do every time we step foot out of doors.


The funny thing is, none of these pictures is really of Easter. We staged a fake Easter today (which was beautiful) because actual Easter Sunday was a day of torrential rains and cold. After taking Seville's dress off for her nap last week, I couldn't bear to make her wear it again for the hunt afterward, lest she freeze. We used the same easter eggs (she's 2. She doesn't know the difference ;). We even used the same real, dyed eggs. Are those edible after a week? I'm scared)

Here are the rest of our pictures, for those interested:

I heart fake Easter. Those pictures are ADORABLE. As for the eggs (you had to know I would answer this question, right? ;) ), rule of thumb is six days, but I sometimes stretch that if they smell perfectly wonderful and have been kept consistently cold.

She looks so cute, I am glad you had a fake Easter for her today. I love the hat and matching outfit, way to go! Oh, her matching doll too last Sunday was perfect. :)

Love the photos. Glad you were able to get her to wear the organza wrap after her nap so the outfit was complete.

On an unrelated note: I just noticed the video stream on the side. I love the Barack Obama button video.

Seville looks gorgeous in her Easter ensemble. The pictures are great. I wish I had thought to stage a photo op with Van. Great idea.

Absolutely adorable-I love the one of Seville carrying her little easter basket over the shoulder.
