Was the Easter Bunny good to you?

This morning our kids woke up even earlier than Christmas! The ungodly hour 6:40 am (I am pretty sure Jesus didn't rise until 9 am.) They wanted to check to see if the Easter Bunny had come.

Last night I had pulled out all of the Easter baskets from last year. The boys went to bed and were asleep by 9:30 pm, but Daughter just wouldn't fall asleep. At 10:10 pm, Husband went downstairs to turn off the TV and turn out the lights and make sure everything was just right for the Easter Bunny. Normally the Easter Bunny is my job, but I stayed in bed with Daughter to make sure she stayed upstairs.

The kids were thrilled this morning! This is what happens when parents don't communicate very well - they each buy the Easter eggs. It was really fun watching them run around with their baskets. The two big brothers pointing eggs for their little sister. I normally leave three eggs per location, as we have three children. For some reason, Husband left two. Son Two would grab one, and give the other to his sister. Son One would grab both. He ended up with about twice as much as the other two. For the big bunnies, they each "found" one.

For breakfast they had chocolate. Husband went high end with his purchases - the Lindt chocolate eggs. I bought the big, $3 bunnies and some mini-eggs. The discussion over breakfast was how the Easter Bunny carries everything to all of the houses - the consensus was a big plane. They also discussed how the Easter Bunny gets into our house. Son One is convinced he comes down the chimney, just like Santa.

Later today we will be heading out to my sister's for Easter dinner. The boys have clean pants, and Daughter wants to wear her green dress. Should be a great day. Hope yours is, too. Happy Easter!
