Easter Day

On Easter morning, Claire woke us up first.  She headed right downstairs and started looking for her eggs and Easter basket.  Last year, the Easter bunny left candy and sticker-filled eggs for her to find.  This year the eggs he hid were empty (he probably didn't want Alex to be finding and eating chocolate candy too).  So Claire was a little disappointed in that.  In fact, she didn't even bother looking for more eggs since there was apparently no point.  She found her basket pretty quickly and had fun looking through her loot and eating candy and chocolate.  When Alex woke up, she helped him find his basket and showed him all his goodies.  She even helped him open his eggs that were filled with Fruit Loops.  How did that bunny know they are his favorite sugary cereal?

Gee...where did the Easter Bunny hide Alex's basket?

After playing with their new toys and books, we got ready for church.  They both did well.  Claire sat well with us the whole time and Alex played nicely in the nursery until it was time to pick him up for communion.  Then he flirted with the women who sat behind us.  He's quite the charmer.  We came home for lunch and then it was time for naps! 

When everyone was up and ready to go, we went to the Johnson's for our annual Polish Easter dinner.  Delicious!  It was a gorgeous day out and everyone enjoyed playtime outdoors as well.
