Easter morning started early, as I thought it would.
The house was covered in little
plastic colored eggs
and a little boy came down to our room at 6:30 telling me that the
Easter Bunny forgot to come.
I was smiling inside but told him to come lay down by me and the reason why he didn’t come was because it was still night time.
I know, I know,
I felt bad saying it but I was exhausted.
It did buy me another 45 minutes of sleep though.
What he failed to do though, was look around the house for eggs.
When he came down the stairs, he immediately pulled the blinds open to see if the eggs were outside and there was nothing.
Smart kiddo huh?
I didn’t release the memo that the Easter Bunny
comes inside if it’s raining.
Yes, I'm glad i didn't spoil that part last night.
45 minutes rolled by and...
a sweet little boy was snuggling up to
me,
I hear the pitter patter of feet running across
the living room to our room saying,
“The Easter Bunny came,
The Easter Bunny came”
Pierce popped right up and jumped out of bed to see what she was talking about.
Seconds later,
it was running at full force,
yelling,
laughing,
and well you
can picture it all.
They were freaking out excited!
They found all the eggs,
including the Silver and Golden Eggs.
The Silver included “3 Bumble Gum Quarters”
and the Gold included a “One dollar bill.”
Well, Cecily found the One dollar one and of course Pierce fell apart because he wanted it.
So, we had to deal with a little tantrum there for a few minutes but he cooled down and for the next 2 hours,
was trying to wheel and deal with his sister to try and get that dollar from her.
What I find hilarious about it all is that Jake
was JUST like this when he
was a little boy.
Trying to talk you into something
you don’t want.
In fact,
he still does it.
It was classic.
All the while, Charlotte was playing with the empty eggs
and trying to squeeze herself into places to she couldn’t fit to reach their Easter baskets for the good stuff.
She is very smart!
After they found the eggs and their baskets, we had a big Easter Bunny breakfast, got ready for Church, and had a great afternoon celebrating the real reasons of Easter as a family and feeling the spirit.
Although we were bummed our Easter Galveston trip fell through, we still had a great weekend and I have to admit, I was not looking forward in making some Easter dinner myself. Thank goodness we got invited to the Downen’s house for a big Easter party.
We absolutely love this family.
You could not meet more genuine, down to earth people, good FUN people.
We.
Love.
This.
Family.
7 families and 19 kids sure made it a fun night!
We ate an amazing dinner with fabulous deserts that Emily had slaved herself in the kitchen for hours and keep in mind she is pregnant too!
The kids played,
and played,
and played,
and played.
We all put on an Easter hunt for them.
Yes, I know, again….
It’s like the 10th Easter Egg hunt my kids have had in the past 2 weeks,
but they loved every single second of it. The kids had the times of their lives tonight.
It was just a ridiculously fun night,
we had a fabulous time!
