Easter, Easter, Easter

Today was an eventful day for our family.  It started out when we left the house at 8:45 a.m. and headed for Circe and Scott's annual Easter egg hunt.  The girls got tons of eggs and loved every minute of it.  Then we all had breakfast together at Annies.  From there we headed over to mom and dad's for a family party.  There was tons of food, a new trampoline that mom and dad bought, food, cousins, food, another Easter hunt, food and did I say food??  We stayed until well after bed time. It was fun to visit with all of Jeremy's cousins and aunts and uncles there too!  The girls disappeared the entire day which gave us a chance to visit!  Last night while tucking Kayla into bed we were talking about how the Easter bunny was coming to our house.  She got a little scared and told me she didn't want the EB to get her.  I assured her that the EB was just coming into the living room to hide the eggs and leave some candy.  That seemed to settle well with her for a minute, then I could see the wheels turning again.  She told me that she didn't want the EB to play on her jungle gym either!

This morning they were so excited to go see what the EB had brought.  We hurried downstairs to find the loot!  Of course Kayla dug right into the candy and  before we knew it had eaten an entire big pack of gum.  (wonder what that will do??) Neeley wanted to play her new card games.  so we all played Old Maid together.  Right towards the end of  the game Neeley got the old maid card and rushed out of the room crying.  It brought me back to my childhood. Oh the joys of learning sportmanship!  Jeremy then informed the girls that the EB had left a note about something that was too heavy to bring inside.  So we all rushed out to the cold garage with bare feet to see what was there.  The girls started jumping around when they found their new blow up water slide.  After breakfast we all rushed to get ready so we could go out to play on it.  It is such a warm sunny day.  We stayed out for a few hours while the girls played.  Jeremy and I wished we could keep this moment forever.  The joys of childhood are so fun to relive.  Just watching the girls giggle and have so much fun made a little imprint on our hearts!

Happy Easter everyone!
