About

We're Lexi and Ryan, an American and a Scot living in Scotland. On October 6th, 2010 we welcomed our daughter, Alana (who we fondly call Lani) into our lives, and we've never been happier. This blog is for her. <3

Miss Lani’s first Easter!

I suppose it’s a bit silly for an atheist and an agnostic to celebrate Easter, but nevermind. In my family, the easter basket was a pretty big deal. We always spent easter together, with our baskets full of colored eggs, with way too much delicious food and of course lots of goodies from a very generous easter bunny. And so I wanted to pass that joyful family experience onto Lani.

Apparently easter baskets aren’t the done thing, here in bonnie Scotland (or I suppose the UK in general). It was REALLY hard to find an easter basket. We had to search! We found this lovely wicker basket at a craft store, and I decorated it. We only put a few wee things in it this year as Lani’s still just 6 months old and she was more interested in having a good chew on the handle.

She wore the cutest playsuit and hat from our family in Texas. It was prefect for the weather that day too- lovely and warm. Which was a pleasent surprise. And to top it off, we came across this adorable dinosaur slide at ASDA and thought Lani would probably really enjoy it in a few months. Daddy helped her try it out. :)
