| Daddy about to start the duck race with a cuckoo call? (he forgot the Duck call!) |
Easter has come on gone and I know the question that you are all asking yourself........... Who won the Annual Duck Race?
Well the first year that Daddy introduces a Prize for the first Adult, he wins! Well Done Daddy.
 |
| Waiting for the ducks to be released - be careful Uncle Alex |
 |
| Ella and Megan helping with the back markers - no that isn't Daddy's winning duck in Megan's mouth |
 |
| Gracie was the Winner (for the third time) |
 |
| All the winners celebrating! |
 |
| Uncle Jim: "No Uncle Alex I don't think Maisie wants to go for a swim" |
 |
| It's not like Charlie to pull a face! |
A usual Easter was spent with the family and Maisie had a wonderful weekend seeing everyone, Daddy decided to drive down during the night while Maisie was sleeping;
 |
| Maisie getting ready to go |
Maisie didn't quite know what happened - one minute she was playing at home and the next getting cuddles from Aunty Cat.
 |
| 4 hours later Maisie was happy to see Aunty Cat |
It was a busy weekend, Maisie went out for a walk with Grandpa and then back to the house to read to Grandma Jan;
Maisie had to show Aunty Helen her shoes;
 |
| " mmm, a little bit smelly Maisie, shall we put them back on?" |
Daddy must remember not to leave Charlie and Gracie in charge of Maisie;
 |
| Maisie's not sure what happened |
Maisie also dressed up for church on Easter Sunday - we're not sure that her Gran would have approved of her attire - a pretty dress may have been more suitable;
 |
| looks like Maisie could turn out to be a little eccentric (don't know who she takes after) |
 |
| enjoying Sunday dinner |
Off up the hill to roll eggs;
 |
| everyone lined up to roll their decorated eggs |
however Maisie had other ideas;
 |
| Wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!! |
The Champion egg rollers;
 |
| Yeah! |
Maisie had an Amazing time and behaved (fairly) well all weekend - she was not quite the handful that Mummy and Daddy expected;
Just after Easter Maisie had a surprise visitor - Aunty Alison popped around for about 2 minutes - she was just passing (not sure how that happens from Italy).
 |
| Aunty Alison could miss the chance to give Maisie a big cuddle |
Now the weather is better Maisie is getting to spend more time outside, she loves picking flowers;
and feeding the chickens - they will take food right from Maisie's hand - when Maisie's not taking her share of course!
 |
| eating again |
Maisie likes hiding in small places;
 |
| "I got in my pram but I can't get out Daddy!" |
and being a bit of a monster;
 |
| "look at me!" |
It's hard to believe that Maisie will soon be 2 years old.
