Easter - Part 2

On Easter morning, Sam woke up early to see what the Easter Bunny had brought for her. Sophia was still sleeping, so we decided to let Sam hunt for the hidden eggs and let Sophia wake up on her own.


Sam got the hang of hunting for eggs right away. In fact, she was finding them so fast and saying, "more, more ...," that Steve was going around behind her and hiding them again for her to find!

Pretty soon, Sophia woke up and she was in such a happy mood. She came out and joined us so that she could see her special Easter basket from the Easter Bunny -- lots of baby essentials!

Steve helped her and they made a pile of all of the coins that had been hidden inside (she is really into putting coins into her piggy bank these days and was more than thrilled that the Eater Bunny had given her so many to put in there).



Later that morning, I made a bunny cake for the Easter celebration that we had with our families that afternoon at our house. Sam was so excited about this cake and all day she kept asking when we could cut the bunny cake.
