Happy Easter

Easter morning started at 7:25, when I awoke to find Bradyn standing beside our bed, staring at me. (It still scares the crap out of me - I much prefer when I hear the footsteps coming down the hall, followed by her hitting the baby gate before she pushes our door open.) Although she appeared to be wide awake, it seemed she had forgotten all about the Easter Bunny. I took advantage of that, and allowed myself to get up and showered, because we had a big day ahead.

When we finally got her all pumped up about the bunny and went downstairs, Brady was excited by all the packages and eggs lying around the house.

It was so cute watching her open each egg and discover the contents. She did a running commentary, with lots of enthusiam.... "It's a chick", "It's a barrette", "It's another chick"...

Her new favourite stuffy, Lumpy. (Hey, she named it, not us.)

After all the excitement at our house, we headed into Vancouver for an Easter Egg hunt at the home of some friends from Kevin's work.

The pouring rain didn't squash the enthusiam of our little Bradybug.

The back yard was jam-packed full of eggs for the kids. (This picture was probably taken half way through... I'm telling you, there were eggs EVERYWHERE.)

Each child was allowed to collect 8 small, 8 medium and 6 large eggs. She could have stood in one place and had it all done in 1 minute, but Bradyn walked all around the yard, looking for the perfect eggs.

Once she had her eggs, it was time to find out what treasures were inside.

'Mom, I can't do it. You do it.'

Just like at home, each egg was accompanied by a commentary.

Thank you everyone, for all the wonderful treats.
