happy easter!

Happy Easter Ya'll!


We turned Easter into Hannukah around here, making it into a three day celebration of all things candy and eggs. On Friday we were supposed to go to the zoo, but Britton was feeling downright ornery and not-so-good due to the FOUR canine teeth all coming in at once. So we scrapped plans for the zoo and hung out at home instead. Grandma and Paw Paw brought over Britton's Easter basket (that Grandma made herself) and Britton got to work cracking open the confetti-filled eggs.



Grandma and Paw Paw hooked her up with a stuffed bunny, chalk, candy of all sorts, a new shirt and shorts, and many more treats. Plus the basket matches her room so we're going to use to hold small items.




Saturday morning was the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet more people (especially parents) in the neighborhood, but not so much since everyone just talked to the people they knew. We got ready for Britton's first egg hunt and she was a natural. She carried around her basket and spied eggs everywhere.





When she collected all the eggs she could find, she promptly plopped down in the middle of the playground to get an inventory. We had to open each and every egg, show her the candy inside, confiscate any unwrapped candy, and then Britton put the eggs back together.




Once home we opened Cammy's Easter present. Cammy got Britton a little stuffed bunny, stickers, a dress, and an Easter towel. Britton used the towel as bunny's "blanket" and kept putting the bunny under it saying, "Night night bunny." She then covered the hub and myself in stickers. Notice Sadie licking her chops behind her? Who knows what that dog has eaten!





Finally this morning we gave Britton a little Easter basket, with chalk, travel tissue packs (you know her love of wiping her nose), and Jelly Belly jellybeans. She got that box open and she would not stop until they were all gone. We had no idea she would like jellybeans so much! We went to the zoo this morning, and we have Easter dinner tonight. All in all, a great Easter!
