A hoppin' good Easter!

We were a bit worried about our Easter celebration as Austin was supposed to be getting heavy storms that morning. As it turns out, we had a light, much-needed shower and then the sun came out in all of its glory! We're not sure when the Easter Bunny came, but when we went outside to get some good spring photos, there were 2 baskets full of goodies and a yard full of eggs! The kids were SO excited! Ian ran around finding loot and helping Ainsley. He quickly learned that some eggs made "thump" noises and therefore held candy and some made "jingle" noises and therefore held money. From that point on, he only looked for $$$ eggs! Which worked out fine as Ainsley was trying to horde as much of the candy as she could. That girl is ALL about the chocolate! And yes, I believe this is approximately 2 Butterfinger eggs shoved in her mouth!

Here's Miss Poo checking out all of her goodies.

Ian made out like a bandit, the Easter Bunny seemed to know he would enjoy more Bionicles. Who knew?

After all of the eggs were found, it was time for the confetti eggs. My crew cracks me up, instead of going nut-so and relentlessly cracking cascarones on each other's heads, they very gently crushed the eggs and sprinkled confetti on each other. Then they would pick the shells out of each other's hair. So instead of a confetti egg free-for-all, it was much more like a pair of monkeys grooming each other!


Now shake it off!


I'm such a lucky mama! Spending a gorgeous spring day with my beautiful little family, watching my children delight in the simple things, fresh air, blue skies, green grass, colorful eggs, confetti and good old-fashioned candy, not to mention endless hugs and kisses!
