Easter Morning - 2013

The girls woke up at their normal time on Easter morning -- 7:00 am ... ready to see what the Easter Bunny had left for them.  While on the the stairs, they caught sight of a few plastic eggs scattered about and decided that they wanted to collect eggs first.

I was amazed at how quickly Sophia had learned the whole concept of an "egg hunt."  She started right away quickly gathering eggs, holding them in her arms, almost forgetting about using a basket to put them in.



Her delight was obvious.  And I marveled at how she was able to spot eggs in the most obscure locations.



Note the curly hair that is starting to form.  This momma passed on the curly hair gene to both of her girls!



Samantha is just an expert now. 



After filling their baskets to the brim, the girls moved on to their Easter baskets on the dining room table.  Samantha was especially excited about her new watch -- not a digital one, but a real one with the hour, minute and second hands.



And the bubble wand was a big hit too.



Sophia loved her new sunglasses, although it turns out that the Easter Bunny accidentally mixed up the sunglasses for the girls.  So, a switch had to be made so that the appropriately-sized pairs went to the right person.



And the chapstick.  This girl has a real thing for chapstick.



And how adorable is her new raincoat?



As you can see, she was quite fond of it herself, and wore it for a majority of the morning, including while she was emptying her plastic eggs and collecting the loot. 



At one point, I had to jump in and assist because some of the eggs were sealed and we needed an adult with a sharp knife to help.  Overall, each girl scored quite a bit of coins and candy from their eggs. 



After that, we enjoyed a nice breakfast together consisting of pancakes and eggs.  Then, we spent a relaxing day at home until it was time to head to Steve's sister's house for our late afternoon Easter dinner.
