Happy Easter

I know that some of you will be checking every hour for Easter pictures, so I thought I'd get these up right away to save you some time. (But you'll have to wait for the best part... the video. Bradyn was just so excited this morning. I'm glad I got it on tape.)

Bradyn kept stopping and saying 'Cheese' as I was filming her, and kept saying how much she loved egg hunts. I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

The Easter Bunny had a little help from Grandpa on this one... a chocolate Pirate Ship.
What strikes me every time I look at this picture is how grown up Bradyn looks. Where did my baby go?

Loving her Calico Critter bunny.

Once she gathered everything up, Bradyn parked herself on the floor to open up all the eggs. "MORE chocolate eggs.... I LOVE chocolate eggs!"

Forget "Cheese", now Bradyn says "Chocolate!"

We headed off to Leslie and Stefan's again this year for the big egg hunt. (As we were leaving, Leslie said they had 38 kids out today!!) Instead of choosing so many eggs of each size, this year you picked a poker chip out of the bag and had to find the 24 eggs with your number on them. What a blast! It took longer, but it was so much fun.

Heading off with Daddy to find eggs numbered 31.

Notice the white chip in Bradyn's left hand.... she kept it close by to compare to the numbers on the eggs so she'd know when she found hers.

"Another 31"

"Yep - it matches"

The best part of the egg hunt.... opening them all up to see what was inside.

Mommy already has a stomach ache, and there's lots more candy to eat.... I'll do my best to ensure Bradyn doesn't get any cavities from all that sugar.

:-)

Happy Easter.
