Easter Morning

Since we were visiting GiGi and Pop-Pop for Easter this year, we brought the kids Easter baskets with us. The kids put out their empty baskets for the Bunny to fill.  When we tucked them into bed last night, we asked “Do you think the Eastwe Bunny will find us here?” Gillian immediately responded “Yes! Hims will find us!” John was a little unsure “I don’t think so.” 

John woke up first this morning, and we had to wake up Gillian. The two of them searched everywhere for their baskets. Finally John spotted them in the great room. He said “I told you he would come!” Gilly said “He found us!” I didn’t get any pictures of the kid’s baskets or them finding the baskets. They were super excited to get jump ropes, bubbles, bouncy balls, chocolate bunnies, Legos, a necklace, princesses and super heroes. 
After opening baskets, we all went out to get breakfast. After breakfast, we returned back to GiGi and Pop-Pop’s house. Daddy saw that the Easter Bunny left some eggs around the house. The kids figured out that the Bunny left green and blue eggs for John and pink and purple eggs for Gillian. The kids were awesome this year. They really worked as a team. We heard a lot of “John, over there!” Gilly, I see a pink one!” 

We went inside to see what was inside the eggs. John was super excited to find a quarter in one egg. “I’m rich!” he said. In a big egg, he found gold coins. I said “Look John, you got Gold Doubloons!” This made him very excited. He said “Yes! Gold Doubloons! Hey, are these chocolate?” 

I asked the kids “What was your favorite part of today?” John said “Finding all the eggs.” Gillian said “The candy.” As always Daddy and I enjoyed spending time with our kids and Daddy’s family too. 
Happy Easter!
