Easter Fun

Yesterday was SO MUCH FUN! We were so thankful that this year we got to celebrate and have Easter dinner with both sets of grandparents, along with Uncle Cameron. It's been 4 years since we've done that -- before children. And, the kids definitely enjoyed having LOTS of attention and being completely spoiled!

Here are pictures of their Easter Baskets. Harrison got some books, a car, bubbles, balls, etc. Madeleine got books, stickers, Princess jump rope, a new Aurora doll, bubbles, a bunny slinky, candy necklaces, etc. The Easter Bunny was very good to them!


Harrison LOVED his new stuffed soccer ball. He grabbed it first and chunked it across the room and ran after it! Then he headed to check out his basket.
Madeleine took "inventory" of her basket, showing me each item before stacking it up. She had to read the books as soon as she found them.
Then, they hunted for the eggs the Easter Bunny hid for them.
After some wrestling, and a lot of candy, it was time for church. We only took Harrison to worship, not class, since he's fighting off a bad cold. He was pretty pitiful for awhile that morning, but he sure looked like a cutie-patootie.
Madeleine was ALL into posing for the camera and yelling "Happy Easter." She must have loved her dress, because she wore it all day. :)

Yep, this is the best family photo we got!

My little easter cuties!

We hunted Easter eggs outside. I think I stuffed almost 80 eggs, so they were EVERYWHERE! They had such fun finding them -- even Harrison got the hang of it!




Harrison discovered jellybeans and chocolate! He would try to eat the candy with the wrapper still on!

One of Madeleine's favorite people is Uncle Cameron. She had so much fun playing with him and he's so good at getting down on the floor and talking and playing with her. She was SO SAD to see him leave! She cried at the door watching him go!

It was such a great day for all of us! I think having kids makes the holiday fun in a very different way........you get to experience the excitement through their eyes and it makes me remember what it was like being a kid. It makes every holiday seem a little more magical.
