Happy Easter, or Something is Wrong With This Picture



Normally I think Easter morning is second only to Christmas as far as excitement goes, but when I am awake and ready to post the mornings activities and it is not 8:00 am yet, there is something definitely wrong with the picture. The kids were just a little too excited to get going, so goodbye morning snooze. We were up and at 'em around 6:30. Yick, that should not be allowed on a beautiful (when I say beautiful I mean the wonderful overcast days that only I seem to love) Sunday morning.
Enough of my tired tirade. Let's move on to the fun the kids had....
All three kids were running around with their Easter baskets this morning, and checking the front yard through the window to see if they could spy any eggs. We did get them to eat some healthy food for breakfast (if you count sugared cereal and eggo's as "healthy") before the festivities began. In our house the Easter Bunny left a treasure hunt with clues the kids had to follow to find some treats. This was our favorite clue that the Easter Bunny drew for us. Yes it is suppose to be Livi in her crib, it is not an alien in jail as it may appear.After the treasure hunt and the egg hunt outside the kids sat down to eat their spoils. Notice the concentration, the determination, the colored drool rolling down Livi's face.
I recorded it all for our parents, so most of you wont want to sit through watching my kids run around, but there is something ADORABLE about Livi running, floppy hair that Eric did yesterday, with a basket bigger than she is.
Quote of the morning: Eric told Ella we were having a "yummy Easter dinner." To which Ella replied totally serious "We're having candy for dinner?"
