We live in a hugely Catholic area, and Easter is a big freaking deal around these parts. So much so that Kohls and Giant Eagle shut down, I kid you not. For Britton, the big deal this year was "Easter Dinner." Probably because I kept talking about it! We decided to do fried chicken this year (Memaw made it), mashed potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts, deviled eggs, cole slaw, and Memaw's homemade Amish white bread. We went ahead and did the "Easter Dinner" on Saturday evening, so Memaw and PawPaw could get back to Ohio at a reasonable hour on Sunday. While sitting there eating dinner in the dining room, Britton goes, "Is THIS Easter dinner?" And we all replied, "Yes!" That satisfied her.
Earlier, while I was napping away, Britton helped Memaw make their annual bunny cake...
And on Saturday we had beautiful weather, and Britton got to play outside all day!
Come Sunday morning, the Easter Bunny had visited! Britton asked me weeks ago what the Easter Bunny's name is, and not knowing if he has an official name I just responded "Edward is his name." So this morning she exclaimed, "Edward came!" I think Memaw and PawPaw were slightly confused on that part!

Then we distracted Britton with breakfast-making so the hubs could sneak into the backyard to hide eggs. It was getting ready to rain and we needed to get started soon. Britton spotted the hubs outside, but we quickly made up some excuse about him taking Sadie out. Yes, Sadie, the dog sitting on the couch. Luckily she didn't question me! Once all the eggs were hidden, Britton started her third (and final) egg hunt! An Easter dress was required by her, even though we would only be in our own backyard.
