Ahhhh ... Easter Eve. There is still a sense of anticipation in the air with the kids but without the hustle and bustle that Christmas brings with it. Jimmy was excited to fix a big plate of snacks for the Easter Bunny and we included something different this year -- some actual rabbit food that we had in the garage.
The next morning, the radishes were eaten and most of the food had disappeared.
There was a note from Peter Cottontail himself, thanking the kids for the thoughtful snack ("no one leaves me rabbit food!") and letting them know that their egg hunt would be INSIDE this year due to the cold temps outside.
Baskets all set out and waiting for the kids to wake up and discover them!
Annnnddd ... they're up, bright and early but with a little bit of sleepiness still showing on their faces.
The girls read the letter out loud and shared what color eggs were theirs to find:
Sophia was assigned her traditional PINK eggs and some of them were a stretch for her.
Jimmy's egg color was BLUE:
Jack's eggs were YELLOW and he found himself off to a great start and then started to stall out on the last few!
Oooh, that Easter Bunny made sure that Sam's GREEN eggs were hard to find. She often needed a chair to reach hers.
No area of the main floor was off limits.
Counting his eggs to make sure that he had all of them:
Finally, it was time to see what the Easter Bunny had left for everyone. I feel like sunglasses are a traditional (and important) Easter Basket item:
A new hat for Spring and Summer! This hat has an American Flag on it, but it is made up of lines of fish. Jack now has a favorite fishing cap.
Sam is really into "plants" right now, so these PJs were perfect for her:
Later, we had family over for dinner, dessert and a few games. The weather was damp and drizzly but we enjoyed spending time together and showing off the Easter goodies to everyone!
