Easter Baskets!

Sorry for the delay ~ Still trying to get all the Easter pictures uploaded onto the blog from home!

Thought I'd share the loot the kiddos got from that awesome Bunny!

Colin's basket. he got  a chocolate train (of course!) 2 Thomas trains that he's been begging for, for months! (Hiro & Hank) in addition to peeps, some jelly beans and that little crab thing hanging from the side. Don't really know what it is, but he's cool and walks all over the kitchen floor.

Caden's Basket ~ Well, we couldn't find caden's basket this year. SO Saturday night, I had to run to target and find a basket for him. I found this monkey head one for $2.50. score! It's not permanent. In fact, I'd like to update all the kids baskets next year to more grown up ones anyway, so this worked. Caden requested from Bunny this year, a blue notebook, and a monkey. He also got an activity set, peeps, jelly beans, a chocolate school bus & the same crab thing that Colin got.

Courtney ~ Man it sure does get hard as they get older. I was stumped. Bunny left her peeps, A shirt from PINK, an iTunes gift card, a chocolate IDK (letters) some neon nail polish, and a white nail art pen that she's been wanting. Oh, and jelly beans as well.

Where were they? Caden's was hidden inside the blanket storage bin in the living room :)

Colins was behind the tall plant in the dining room

And Courtney's was hidden under towels in the linen closet.

Dumping out the loot they found!

Playing trains!

Finding eggs.

Chocolate IDK (I don't know)

Caden woke up first on Easter. Apparently at 6:30 - and woke up Courtney. I vaguely heard him opening and closing doors looking for his basket. At 7 he came in to me and said he can't find his basket anywhere!! I told him to wait until everyone woke up. Colin woke up at 7:30, so we got Courtney up and began the hunt. We tired to wake up daddy, who wouldn't budge of course :( We continued on with our egg hunt, finding baskets in the process, and finally around 9:00am, were able to rouse daddy out of bed. he missed all of the Easter fun. I was pretty bummed about it, but the kids didn't care one bit! LOL

We also did our annual Easter egg hunt in the House for the kids as well. Each kid was able to find 16 hidden eggs :).

We all went to church as a family (which gets easier for Col and harder for Caden each week?!) then came home and cooked  Easter lunch for Meema, GG & Jack. It was a perfect relaxing day for all of us! If only every holiday were SO calm and peaceful!
