Happy Easter - A Little Late

Happy Easter. The Easter Bunny is a bit delayed at passing along some photos from this past weekend as we got a new camera and with that came some issues in uploading photos. But all is resolved and we are back on track.

The weekend was great. The weather was awesome and filled with Easter Egg hunts and family and friends. Saturday we went to another Easter Egg Hunt which actually had eggs and a little bit of mass craziness. But Daniel listened as Mike provided him with some "egg hunting" tips.


(After all those years of taking Mike's nephews to large scale egg hunts we learned a thing or two.) So when the bullhorn rang off Daniel went to "scoop and grab" and headed to the back of the field. Though no special prizes were given out he enjoyed and was quite focused at the job at hand as you can see.

Saturday afternoon Daniel and I made our first "Bunny Cake" and dyed some Easter eggs as Mike worked in the yard.

Though I did most of the work on the cake Daniel did enjoy sticking his finger in it and licking the frosting out of the can. All and all - not too bad for a first attempt.



Sunday brought the Easter Bunny who left "bunny prints" in the house and outside to help Daniel find his Easter basket and other treats. (I did not think of this idea, I "borrowed" it from my college roommate as she is much more witty than I).

Though Daniel did ask "Why did the Easter Bunny leave footprints in his house" he did seem to get the concept and off he ran out the back door.

I do have to say one of the funniest things is how all kids seem to know to shake the egg and hear if something is in the egg. I did forget to fill some of eggs with coins and was quickly called out on it when Daniel looked up and asked "Where's the coinees?" How he knew we have no clue but thankfully Mike had some change in his pocket and filled one of the eggs when Daniel wasn't looking.

So, Happy Easter and Happy Spring! Until next time.......
