Happy Easter everyone! We hope you enjoyed a wonderful and blessed day of family and renewed hope!
We started off our day bright and early and both Nicholas and Addison were excited to see that Easter Bunny had, in fact, made a stop at our house! Both kids hunted for eggs, with a little help from Daddy, and then promptly dug into their baskets. We spent the rest of the early morning playing with new Easter toys and getting ready to head to Grandma and Pop-pop's for the afternoon.
We met Grandma and Pop-pop at church and after celebrating Mass we all headed back to their house to see if maybe, just maybe, the Bunny had been there, too! Wouldn't you know, he had?!?!
Nicholas and Addison, with the help of Aunt Jessica since Daddy was at work, hunted for all of the eggs that the Big Bunny had hidden at Grandma and Pop-pop's. And just like at our house this morning, they then promptly dug into their baskets! Addison discovered the joy of jelly beans while Nicholas came to know the wonderful phenomenon that is the Cadbury Creme Egg!
We enjoyed an afternoon of food- yummy antipasto, homemade ravioli, and spiral ham- and then moved on to a final Easter tradition, Egg Wars!
When I was growing up, each Easter, at the end of the meal my grandfather would pull out all of the dyed Easter eggs and we would each choose an egg. We would then hit our eggs together and whichever egg cracked was the loser. Usually, there was one egg/person that would beat everyone and go on to be the egg war champion. This year's egg war champion was Aunt Jessica with what we called the "Irish Egg" (I think it was green)!
We had a wonderful Easter filled with lots of joy, love, family and food and we hope that each of you did, as well! May the joy of Easter carry you through the rest of the year!
Happy Easter!
The Bunny Came!
