I'm really behind…and in an effort to catch-up and alleviate that nagging feeling that I need to update my blog….These next couple posts will probably be more pics and less text.
Here's a quick run down of our Easter.
Attempted some public egg hunts this year. We decided we are not fans of public egg hunts. They left a really bad taste in our mouths. We saw too many kids with buckets of eggs while other kids were crying because they didn’t even get one egg. We had to go to two…the first one…all the eggs (a claimed 13, 000 eggs) were gone in 4 minutes. I mean really. Poor Kate didn’t get one egg and was crushed. SO I quickly looked up another egg hunt on my phone and off we rushed to another hunt to mend her broken heart. Luckily we were first in line for this one, so Kate found her eggs. We ended up giving half away to the poor crying kids who were towards the back of the line and were too late to find eggs. Seriously…we were sooo turned off by the whole ordeal. Felt like it took away from the real spirit and feeling of Easter. What happened to being loving and giving. Instead we were met with greedy kids/parents that held no concern for all the other kiddos. Blahhhh. Don’t think we’ll bother with those again. Sorry…I’ll get off my soapbox now.
Easter day. Church in the am, home for a quick look to see what the Easter bunny left (Kate was thrilled to find a Dora Ballerina dress in her basket). Quickly baked my monkey bread. Then to my mom’s for Brunch and another Egg hunt for Kate. Food and company was delightful as always. And we were lucky enough to still have my grandma in town. Headed back home for naps…then over to Eric’s parents for dinner and another egg hunt (Kates 4th egg hunt). Loads of fun and candy with the cousins.
Nothing like searching for Easter eggs in rain boots and a princess dress
