Easter Day

On the eve of Easter Sunday, we set out baskets for both kids - empty of course - so the bunny rabbit would come fill them up. And wouldn't you know, those lucky two were surprised by a couple of very full baskets in the morning!

Gigi was quite pleased with everything she received; the bubbles, the wind up fish toy, the bicycle riding bunny, sunglasses, lip gloss and oh yeah..tons of candy!

J's basket was quite different. He got 4 jars of stage 1 baby food (green beans and peas), a toy hammer that makes sounds when you pound it on something and a pair of rattle booties. Great basket for a 5 month old in my opinion. :)

After going through the treasures in their baskets, we got ready for Church. After service we went straight home to get ready for family to arrive.

I made a ham, green beans, asparagus, mashed potatoes, a green salad and we had rolls.

Oh, and we gave J asparagus for the first time and he LOVED it!

After eating, the kids got to tear through yet MORE baskets that were given to them from family.

Then it was time for the Easter egg hunt!

We had to keep reminding Gigi that there was candy in the eggs so she would keep looking for them! She did pretty well for herself in the end.

After all that excitement, everyone just hung out for a while and the kids played. Even J got in some socializing!
