Easter 2013

Easter was March 31st this year, an early year.  Fortunately the rainy weather held off just enough for us to get Easter egg hunts in.

We started the day with Easter baskets and a small egg hunt (6 eggs) in our living room.  Claire loved it!  Her basket was filled with lots of b's - bubble bath, books, bows, and bunny ears!  The Easter bunny also brought a few goodies for mommy and daddy too!

Got my ears on!
We headed off for church (where Claire wasn't too terrible).  Then we headed down to Stockbridge for brunch with all the Schulze's.  Mmm, brunch!  We had a great Easter egg hunt and bubble blowing extravaganza outside.  The egg were hidden over a large space, allowing all three granddaughters plenty of opportunity to find eggs without fighting over them.  There was even a bunny spotted hiding in a bush!

After all that fun, we headed over to the Simpson house for even more Easter festivity!  More egg hunting and a delicious dinner.  I think the eggs got hidden a few times since Claire was having such a blast and doing so well at spotting the eggs.

Claire also had an Easter party at her school.  They hid eggs outside for the kids to find.  They were very smart to keep the eggs empty and allow the kids to turn in their empty eggs for a baggie of candy that would have been in the eggs.  Then the kids chowed down on some food!


Found an egg!
Here's one!
