4/12 We spent Easter with a sick baby girl!

Our Easter this year was spent at home with a very sick baby girl. Ella Kate had a viral infection with a very high fever. She missed out on all the Easter egg hunts, family gatherings, and church. The above picture is the 2nd day she ran a fever. I know, you should leave sick babies in their pajamas, but I just couldn't. I had been so excited about her wearing her new "Easter" outfits that I just had to put them on her. The below picture is the weekend before she got sick.
The below picture was taken on Good Friday, the day we took her to the Dr. the first time. Bless her heart she felt terrible.

The day before Easter I went to my mom & dad's with Kyle & Allison while Scott stayed home with Ella Kate. Here is my brother, Bobby, Kyle, Kyle's girlfriend, Leslie-Ann, and my nephew playing with my brother's new cornhole game.
Here are my sister Jennifer's 3 children, Emma, Ethan, & Eli getting ready to hunt Easter eggs and Nannie and Grunt's (my parents).
Kyle, Bobby, and my dad hit golf balls while the kids were hunting eggs and every now and then one of them would pick up a golf ball and think it was an egg.

Here Allison and Ella Kate are looking through their Easter baskets. Ella Kate was born 3 days before Easter last year, but was in the NICU. So this is the first time she has really gotten to celebrate Easter and then she got sick. Bless her heart.

This is what Ella Kate would have worn if she had gotten to go on Easter Sunday and not been sick. Let me tell you about the deal I got on this dress. This dress is from Strasburg and it is in stores now for well over $100.00! I got this dress on ebay for $35.00!! It was new without tags and is gorgeous! I was very lucky to find such a deal.
