Yes I know Easter was about 2.5 weeks ago but I finally have a little time to blog about that. Easter was super fun this year. On Sat afternoon, Lilly lost her first top tooth (which would set off a whole chain of teeth falling out over the next few weeks! Another post on that!) so we had the excitement of BOTH the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy coming to our house all in one night. The kids were actually pretty good about going to bed that night. Michael and I followed our usual Easter Eve routine of watching The Ten Commandments on TV (we never make it to the end since it's over wayyyy past our bedtime), enjoying some cocktails together while we wait for the Easter Bunny (and now the Tooth Fairy) to show up. I love that we have this routine together and it's probably the only Sat night in the entire year that we sit down together and watch a movie.
On Sunday we spent the first part of the day together as a family, relaxing and enjoying our goodies. The Easter Bunny usually leaves books in our kids baskets along with some candy. And he was kind enough this year to leave Mommy some Cadbury eggs (my weakness) and some wine! He knows me well!
Then we headed to my parents house for the afternoon to spend time with the rest of the family. We had a nice sit down dinner and an egg hunt. The Easter Bunny also visits my parents house and every year he brings all the grandkids new bathing suits for the summer. That guy really knows what we need! It was a great day and the kids were all exhausted by the time we got home that night. :)
What?!! The Tooth Fairy is coming tonight too?!?!
The baskets are done!
So much excitement over her $$
Waiting to check our their loot...on a side note, someday I want to take all of my "on the stairs waiting" pics and make a book like 10 years from now. We always take their pic just before coming down for Christmas and Easter morning. Or maybe I can make a collage of these pics to hang on the walls on my stairway???
We cannot wait to dive into this collection of the 6 books of Mary Poppins this summer :)
Bobby collects the Pete the Cat books
Mmmm blue candy...
The East Bunny also brought the family a deck of cards. I taught the kids how to play War and Go Fish. Michael taught the kids Black Jack...
My loves...
My everthings...
Cousins (just a few days before my newest nephew arrived)
It was also my grandmother's birthday! And her favorite thing is shoes so my mom made her a shoe cake. And little individual bunny cakes for all the kids.
Egg hunt time!
