Easter 2013

 The sneaky Easter Bunny hid the baskets, and drew a map on how to find them! Leah was so excited to use the map, though she really didn't know how to read it at all. 
 I made the girls take pictures before the festivities began. They were pretty excited. 
 The Easter Bunny hid eggs in our house and in our yard! The girls had fun collecting the eg  gs. Leah was really good at finding them this year! Juliet was a pro at opening the eggs. Every time I turned around, she had cracked open an egg and was trying to eat what was inside. I only let her eat Mini M and Ms. She really liked them! 
 Leah kept opening eggs and trying to nonchalantly eat the contents of the egg. She said that the mini peanut butter cups were her favorite treat.  
 Juliet quickly lost interest in egg hunting, and wanted to focus exclusively on eating the eggs. 
 Then the hunt took us outside. Leah had fun collecting more eggs! 





 We used the map to find the baskets. Leah was really excited to find the baskets, but she really wanted the "Boots" (from Dora) doll that was in Juliet's basket. She quickly recovered when she saw that she had got the Dora doll. After we found the baskets, Leah started singing the, "We did it" song that they sing at the end of each Dora the Explorer episode. It was adorable! 

Leah was really excited about the "rainbow ribbon wand" that Dora uses during gymnastics. 
 Books, Books, and more books! 
 Juliet got some new sippy cups, some headbands, a blanket, and lots of new books (a ton of "touch and feel"---her FAVORITE!). 
 Juliet really likes her Boots! 
 Leah got 2 puzzles, lots of books, some Dora DVDs, a dress, and some teacups. Daddy said he was going to write the Easter Bunny a strongly worded letter about "reigning it in next year". 
 Leah hugging her Dora doll! 
 J. Boo got "Pat the Bunny"! We had this book for Leah and she loved it so much that she wore it out. Juliet got the deluxe version. 
 J. Boo liked the tag from her blanket the best. 
 Daddy made pancakes for breakfast, and Juliet LOVED them! 
 After a nice breakfast, she practiced her walking some more. 
Our first Easter as a family of 4!
We had a great morning.
Happy Easter!
