Easter, Part 3

We woke up on Easter Sunday to find that the rascally bunny HAD visited us at Grammy's house. Tricky Bunny. Colin needed a bit of help to find his basket that the Bunny had hidden inside a cupboard end-table. Funny Bunny, how did he know that Colin LOVES to hide there himself????

Gillian had been up a bit earlier than Mommy, Daddy, and Colin, and I think she spied her basket next to Papa's chair earlier, but she refrained until official "hunting time." The Easter Bunny was so nice as to bring C&G Max and Ruby Beany Babies! So fun!

(And yes, G is in full princess regalia at 7:40 am).

We had a nice morning playing with our Easter treats and getting ready for church. Yes, we took our two busy, loud toddlers to church on Easter when we don't do it weekly (which we should). My thinking was, my entire family was at church, and SOMEONE would be happy to entertain them. Turns out they were very good at church. They both liked the music; Colin was happy to play trains on the pew and Gillian did stickers and colored a bit. So, a better than expected experience!

Before we left for church, Uncle D was nice enough to get a family picture for us!

After church we had a nice Easter lunch at Grammy and Papa's house with lots of extended family and friends! The kids had fun with everyone, especially Joe! The camera was put away during lunch though, so no pictures! After lunch we packed up (always the WORST part of a trip) and drove back home. Gillian managed to grab an hour of sleep, but Colin was too excited to talk about all the bridges on the way home to sleep.

When we got home we discovered that the SNEAKY BUNNY had left more treats in our own home (as the kids say)!

BIKES!!!

I don't think the Bunny is normally this extravagant, but he must have known how much the kids needed bikes to enjoy this spring! Tricky Bunny.

So that was our busy-as-usual holiday. We all had a great time!
