Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny did not disappoint! He hopped around leaving all kinds of eggs filled with yummy treats in our living room and dining room. And, to top it off, he left two packed to the brim Easter baskets for the kids. At the hint that the Easter Bunny made an appearance on Sunday morning, it took all we had to keep Evan at the top of the stairs. Parenting Lesson #456,644: Do not mention Santa, Easter Bunny or any other holiday surprise until you are 100% ready to move. Once he got the green light to sprint down the stairs, he instantly saw his Easter basket and started tearing into it. He was so quick into the room and to his basket that he never even saw that Grace had a basket on the other side of the hearth. Being the nice big brother he is, he took one thing out of his basket, handed to Grace and said "here Gracie, the bunny left this for you". Then, he noticed she had her own basket next to her and promptly took his toy back.Grace took her time and examined each item in her basket...but her favorite part...the grass notice the extremely full cheeks? he would find an egg, open it, and take a bite of whatever was inside. but, he was in too much of a hurry to take the time to chew it all and swallow.

Grace in her Sunday best. Her two front teeth are starting to break through, so a teether was a necessary Easter accessory. No picture of Evan in his Sunday best because he is right behind me rolling around on the floor throwing a tantrum like only a 3 year old that was allowed to have a little bit of chocolate in his easter eggs this year can. this tantrum (first of many on Easter Sunday) was about not wanting to eat lunch....so, like all of his tantrums was over a completely legitimate problem...or not.
