The girls woke us at a fairly reasonable hour Easter Sunday morning, around 7:30 a.m. We went downstairs to find that it had rained all night and was still sprinkling which meant the Easter bunny had hidden the girls eggs indoors! I explained this to Ava as they walked into the living room to find it scattered with plastic Easter eggs. Ava started scooping eggs right away and it didn't take Elizabeth long at all to follow suit!
Most of the eggs were in plain sight, but Daddy helped Elizabeth out a bit so that she didn't fall too far behind in the find-the-eggs race!
Ava shows off her basket full of eggs. I love her wild hair in the mornings.
I pointed out this hiding spot to Elizabeth.
She'd had some practice at her Mother's Day Out program in egg hunting so she already knew to look inside for goodies! Yes, she's eating chocolate at 7:30 a.m. Those second children...
The sugar starts to kick in...
These are the baskets from Mommy and Daddy.
Ava shows me the rubber duckies she found in her basket.It was a little tough peeling the girls away from the Easter basket fun to feed and dress them for church, but we made it happen.
Ava commented and asked questions for days afterward about the exact logistics of how the Easter bunny got inside the house. My explanation grew pretty elaborate as her little mind cranked on every detail. I'm wondering how long the Easter bunny is going to hold up in our house...
