The Easter bunny was fabulous to the kids this year! A little too fabulous I must say so myself! Alyssa was overjoyed and in total excitement when she came down the stairs and ran to the back door to check on the carrots. Lots of bites taken out, and only small pieces of carrot left! "He really did eat it mama and dada!" She began to search the house to locate the baskets. She thoroughly enjoyed her foot tall chocolate bunny and basket with treats. Unfortunately, Jaden my sleeper inner, wasn't awake yet for all of this excitement and Alyssa was having a very difficult time waiting for Jaden to wake up to open his basket. Daddy cooked breakfast and Alyssa patiently waited for Jaden while she sneaked a few pieces of candy. Jaden finally made it and didn't care much about the basket until he opened it and spotted the jelly beans at the bottom! "More, more, more, more....." is about all we heard from him all morning!
All of the family arrived at our house later that morning for an Easter egg hunt in our backyard! Papa, Uncle Wayne and Andy did a good job hiding the DOZENS of filled eggs around the backyard. The older kids all had a blast but Jaden wasn't really sure about why picking up eggs was so much fun.........until he accidentally opened up one and there was candy inside! Needless to say, he filled his bucket quickly after that!
Grandma and Papa arrived with an Easter basket full of goodies, as well as did Nanny and Opa! 3 baskets each for the kids, plus filled eggs = sweet tooth disaster and 2 kids on a sugar high!
After the egg hunt, we headed over to Grandma and Papa's house for Easter brunch. What a delicious lunch. We are so blessed to have the opportunity for our kids to grow up with such a large family and the most thoughtful, wonderful grandparents! Thanks everyone for a great Easter!

Jaden found a lollipop during the egg hunt!
Alyssa won't open her eyes to see the bunny on the grill! (Papa has told the older nieces for years that he sets a trap, catches the Easter bunny and grills it -- Alyssa wasn't thrilled!)
