Easter Bunny was very kind to our family this year! The boys have been asking for Wonder Pets. We don't even have cable, but they've watched the show & learned all about them over at their cousin's house. They each got a set of Wonder Pets and this Wonder Pets School House that Easter Bunny picked up for a great deal during after-Christmas clearance! The camping chairs were a last minute gift idea. Easter Bunny was out Easter weekend and found these for about $5 each! It was very exciting and nothing makes Easter Bunny hop up and down like a GREAT deal! My kids have been begging for camping chairs that go in bags like ours! Jacob was up at around 5 a.m. looking through his gifts. I went into his room and he excitedly showed me what the Easter Bunny had left him. He was opening all his eggs to see what was in each one. I told him they were all the same candy so he didn't need to do that. Since it was still dark outside, I tried to make him go back to bed. When he was getting settled, there was a loud motorcycle that drove down our street. Jacob said, "I think that's the Easter Bunny on his motorcycle!" I got him settled and tried to go back to sleep. Unfortunately, it got light pretty quick before Jacob was able to make himself tired again. I dozed on and off until about 9:30. It seems late, but when you are continually being woken up, it never feels like enough!!
We were invited to Trevor's sister, Natalie's, house for Easter lunch. We had a great time stuffing ourselves until we felt like bursting. The kids barely touched their food since they were too busy playing. After lunch, Natalie was so nice to put together an Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids. Thanks Natalie!
This was practice for the BIG Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma & Grandpa's house later that evening.

The kids began stuffing their face with candy immediately after the hunt.
Once Jacob realized I was shooting pictures, he did his standard pose.
After Natalie's, we went over to my parents house. Hunter fell asleep within 3 minutes of being in the car. When we got to my parents, Trevor & Hunter stayed in the car so Hunter could get some much-needed rest. I went out to collect them when the Easter Egg Hunt was starting. Hunter woke right up and got down to business.
It rained Easter Eggs again this year at Grandma & Grandpa's! I'm not sure how many eggs made it to the lawn this year, but last year there were approximately 1100 eggs. All the girls went to my mom's after a GNO dinner on Friday night and worked on stuffing them all.
Not sure if Jacob is actually winking or if the sun was blinding him.
The boys were very pleased with their full buckets of candy-filled eggs! They got busy emptying out the goods and tasting them! They've had lots of practice with Easter Egg Hunts this year and are now very proficient opening the eggs, dumping candy in the bucket & returning the eggs to the host.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
