Here Comes Peter Cottontail


So what's a mom to do when the wee one brings her all of the Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny fills? Freak out? A little, but when in doubt, figure it out. We just put all of the empty eggs in the baskets for E.B. to fill. It actually turned out great because we then color coded the eggs for the baskets. Logan got green and blue, Caitlyn got pink and a few yellow and green with her name on them, and Reagan got purple and yellow. Of course E.B. left an empty one in their baskets to remind them of of why we celebrate Easter. That discussion was the best part of the day, it was led in part by Aunt Joce, who no doubt was praying for a little divine intervention herself in that moment.

Since Logan is getting older, E.B. is finding craftier ways of hiding his basket.
It took him about 20 minutes to find it.


Reagan's rules for egg coloring:
1. drop egg in cup with great force
2. pull out immediately with hand
3. inquire why the egg is "bo-kin"
4. pick off egg shell and take three bites
5. repeat until all of your eggs,
sister's eggs, and brother's eggs are colored and broken

They both loved their pink!

The apple never falls far from the tree....

The girls were happy to take a picture...as long as no boys were allowed


The sweetest part of Easter!

Glad you had a great Easter. Cute pics of the kids...and of course it is after Easter seeing all these cute matching outfits on kids that it dawns on me that I forgot to at least attempt any picture with the three of them in their Sunday clothes! Hats off to you!
