Piggy's First Easter Basket

     I started planning Piggy Baby's Easter basket back in March, before St. Patrick's Day even came around.  In fact, I actually got some of the things I was going to put in it on St. Patrick's Day!  Hubby just thought I was crazy for even planning an Easter basket for her "It's not like she'll remember it."  I know she might not remember it, but I sure as hell will!  I had an Easter basket every year up until I moved in with my dad.  Then, it was a hit or miss as to if we would even get anything on Easter.  But I still go on with how I was raised.

     Church was a big thing with my mom meaning Easter was also a big thing.  Every year, we would go shopping for a special Easter dress for me and a special Easter shirt and tie for my brother (he pretty much wore the same kind of dress pants every year).  There was even one year when my mom took me to get a special Easter perfume to wear!  On Easter, we would wake up, get all dressed up, and head to Sunday school then services right after.  We would come home and there would be baskets waiting for us on the table.  How they got there, I might never know.  There would also be bunny tracks (I discovered it was actually baby powder) leading from the door to the table then back to the door.


This is everything that was in the basket.



Some toys for her to play with.  There's a teether, textured playmat
rings, rattle ring, rattle, and a cool little Ferris wheel thing that can
suction cup to a high chair tray, table, or any smooth surface.
 Some nice, simple things for her and me to play with.

If you're going to have an Easter basket, you kind
of have to have the basket.  This cool
little number has a hat around the bottom. 
Of course, she has quite a bit of growing to
do before she can fit into it!



No Easter basket would be complete with out eggs.  Even though
she is too little to eat any candy, I still plan on filling these
babies up with random things like rice, beans, rocks,
 bouncy balls, sand, etc. and then gluing them
shut so that way she can shake them.  Easy DIY rattles!




A tutu for when she gets older (it's 12 months size) and some cool
 shades since she likes to stare at the sun or any bright lights.



This is Piggy's basket all put together.  Cute, isn't it?

To top off the basket, there's a cute little stuffed lamb for her.  The fact that this lamb is so fuzzy, it was a new texture to her and she was very intrigued by it.
