Sunday was Jack's first Easter and the 1st holiday for Hannah that she was really into. At Christmas, Tim and I were afraid to even say "Santa" because Hannah would get scared. For some reason, she was so excited for the Easter bunny to come to our house so it was pretty magical for us. Hannah has been saying for weeks that she wanted to leave carrots AND lettuce for the bunny so the night before I took her on a trip to the store and let her pick out the exact ones she wanted. We then let her choose where she thought we should leave them and she chose the front door. When the kids woke up of course the lettuce and carrots were gone and instead was an empty Easter Basket for egg hunting. The bunny left so many eggs for us. Jack crawled around while Hannah found all the eggs. I thought we made it pretty hard (like under the BBQ lid, with the lid down), but she breezed through it. Inside every egg was a puzzle piece. Tim and I have been thinking of different family traditions we want to start and this is one of our ideas that we are going to do every Easter. Now that Hannah is 3 (and research suggests that is when your earliest memories form) we want do start some family traditions. So back to the puzzle pieces. We had to work together as a family to build the puzzle which gave us the clue to the hidden location of our baskets. Once Hannah knew it was the bathtub she went running upstairs to find it. It was so fun. Hannah got Tangled, a swim suit, donuts, a book, princess under ware, a calculator, etc. Jack got trucks, a book, Fox and the Hound, yogurt bites, pajamas, etc. What an awesome Bunny! After the morning activities, we went to church and then headed to Granny and Grandpas house for our Easter Party. There we had another egg hunt, Easter egg dying contest, and lunch. Our car was loaded driving home. It was like Christmas. Totally spoiled. It was a wonderful Spring Break and Easter Day. I love all the memories with my family and of course thankful for God's sacrifice. He is risen!
