Easter 2015

As usual, the Easter Bunny visited our house and filled the kids' baskets for them for Easter.  He also set out their plastic buckets on the table so that they could use those to collect the plastic eggs that he had hidden throughout the house.
 


Jack's basket:



Sophia's basket:



Samantha's basket:



The Easter Bunny enjoyed sampling the stalk of celery and little carrots that the girls set out for him the night before.  And, he left a scattering of jelly beans behind,



Digging deep inside her basket:



Jack took a cue from Sophia and set to work checking out all of his goodies:



Holding up some of their special items:



They were all pretty excited ...



Showing off their Palace Pets -- something that Samantha mentioned more than once that she really wanted.  The Easter Bunny did not disappoint ... Ha!



Hunting for eggs; we separated the girls from Jack so that he could take his time.  It wasn't long before he caught on and started filling his basket.



He found an egg on the door handle -- it was at the perfect height for him.



Searching for eggs with her Palace Pet in tow:



Sophia was very serious about her egg hunt:



Jack found his sister's bunny ears and modeled them for me:



"I found one, Momma!"



Opening all of the eggs and separating the candy from the coins:



Later that afternoon, we headed over to Steve's sister's house for dinner.  The kids had all rested first (after being up bright and early) and I used that time to put together the appetizers for the meal.  Then we loaded up the van (why do we always have so much stuff?) and drove over to Williamston.  The weather was beautiful -- a sign that Spring is here!
