Here are a few pictures of our Easter "EGG". Once Esther figured out how to open the plastic eggs, there was no stopping her. She had a great time with everything in her "basket" (which was actually a wrapping paper covered box).
I just barely got her sweater finished in time. I knit it from a free pattern off the internet that I found and used a yarn from Knit Picks called "Comfy". The whole time I was knitting the sweater I kept on thinking, "Wow, this yarn is so comfy." I just couldn't help myself. The name is perfect.
What a snuggle-bug. She just loved her little Easter lamb.
