Easter At Our House

The Easter Bunny managed to make it to our house this year even though we were all exhausted from our trip. The boys woke up to baskets of goodies on the counter this morning.

Here's a close up of Caleb's loot. Yes he himself chose a pink basket this year. We still have no idea why but he insisted, so we went with it. He left it out empty before going to bed in hopes the Easter Bunny would find it. Not only did he find it but he filled it with lots of candy. Then he added a couple sets of Micro Ridez, stickers and some Sidewalk Tattoo's with chalk.


And here's a closeup of the twins loot. The Easter Bunny found cute wheel barrow's for them and used them as baskets. Then they each got their share of candy, a new Goofy and Donald Duck, stickers and each got a new monster truck.





We spent some time looking through the baskets and showing Mom and Dad every single piece of candy and toy the Easter Bunny left for them.





















Then it was time for the long awaited egg hunt. Caleb was chomping at the bit to get started and kept spotting them all over while we made him wait for the twins to be ready. When we said "go" he was off like a lightning bolt. He was nice and let the twins find some of their own as well.


















I think he found more than plenty for himself!



And the boys were happy with the few they found.



We spent time emptying all of the contents of the plastic eggs into a bowl. They contained candy, more stickers and a few even had some coins in them for the piggy banks. Then it was off to the races with the wheel barrows.




The boys spent the morning, eating some candy and playing with their new trucks and things. Then realty set in and all the things neglected while we were away needed to get done. We got to spend some time in the nicer weather getting yard work done, inside doing laundry and then going grocery shopping. Tonight we got to meet Papa Ringo and Grandma Judi in Provo with Uncle Ryan and Melanie for dinner and to get our beloved doggy back that they were babysitting. It was a nice ending to our Easter Day. Even with the chores and business, it was a good day indeed.
