Easter Morning

Easter Morning! The Easter Bunny brought the girls caterpillars and a butterfly habitat, chocolate bunnies, a necklace and bracelet, sunglasses, Beanie Boos, Shopkins, books, a few small American Girl items, and some personalized things for each of their personalities/interests. They lucked out!
They were so excited about the Egg Hunt. Last year Leah cleared the rooms in 5 minutes flat, leaving Juliet (and her open egg that she was eating) annoyed that she didn't have as many eggs as Leah. This year we worked hard to come up with a plan that was fair. Leah had a really hard time coming up with one. At first, she just wanted the Easter Bunny to hide her eggs in hard to find places, but leave Juliet's more in the open. We asked if she would not pick up Juliet's eggs. She couldn't say that she wouldn't...A few night before Easter, she told me the plan. The Easter Bunny would hide Juliet's eggs in the playroom, and hers in the living room. The outside eggs they would take turns on. It was a great plan, and there was much less whining on Easter morning. Success!
They were really into posing like bunnies this year...
Juliet did the same thing she always does, finds her first egg, opens it up and starts eating, and doesn't look for another egg until she runs out of candy from the first egg. Ha! She would wander over to Leah's territory, see how many eggs Leah had, and say, "Where my eggs?!" We would tell her to go find more, and she would go back, find another, open it, start eating, and the cycle would repeat itself. The good thing was that she could go back to her own room and find more.



The tricky Easter Bunny hid their baskets good this year. They were in the laundry room disguised as a big laundry pile. Leah even found a dirty sock in her basket.




A great morning!
Brain was disappointed that the Easter Bunny didn't bring him an egg.
