Hoppy Easter!

WARNING: Long post ahead with lots of pictures!!

We had a fantastic day yesterday. The kids woke up around 7:45 a.m. and were ready to GO! David & I had put together the baskets the night before and as usual, hid them to make it more fun for the kids. Here are the baskets after we finished assembling them.

The girls got yet another Webkinz and Brennan's basket had a bat, ball and glove....plus candy of course. When we came down the stairs Easter morning this is what we saw...yes, Daddy had gone above and beyond AGAIN and bought each of them a set of golf clubs including the bag, headcovers, balls and tees!

They weren't overly thrilled with those...at first...but after awhile they got excited about those.

Brennan's basket was found first - and he was excited.

Then Alyssa found her's

and finally McKenna....

and boy were they thrilled about their Webkinz!!! When I came back into the family room I found Brennan curled up in a bawl, crying his eyes out....and you know why?! Because the Easter Bunny didn't bring him a Webkinz :-) I was like WHAT?!! He was super upset which broke our hearts because we thought for sure he'd love what his basket had in it...not to mention the golf clubs! I calmed him down, the candy brought his spirits back up and the tears subsided....oh and I had to promise him I'd buy him a Webkinz this week too....yea, yea, I'm a sucker :-)

After we got ready a round of pictures ensued

and then we headed to his mom's. Another round of baskets - more candy, an outfit for each and some other goodies. Ham, biscuits, some chit chat and we hit the road running again.

Alyssa, Megan, Alexis, McKenna, Brennan & Trevor

From there we went to his aunt's house right across the street from us and had an absolute fantastic time. She does the best job putting on the Easter party and much to the kids delight, had filled 300....yes 300....eggs for the Easter egg hunt! We hid 100 at a time to prolong the fun...and boy did they have fun! They climbed trees




That's my girl - climbing a tree with a skirt on!

Brennan was right there with her.




(Brennan fell out face first, but he's ok), played on the swings,


slide, tire swings




WHEEEEE!!!!!


and played basketball,


soccer, tag, frisbee and anything else they could think of! Needless to say, they (shoot me) were completely worn out...and yet, our day wasn't over!


We came home and waited for my mom to arrive....for yet another round of baskets!!! Can you say SPOILED?! She found the prettiest baskets for them




and filled them with some neat stuff. A little candy, another Webkinz for the girls (luckily Brennan was occupied with a movie so this didn't send him into another round of tears!), a Spiderman bouncy ball for him...all kinds of fun stuff.


Finally at 9 p.m. they went to bed and I wasn't far behind! Happy Easter everyone :-)
