Easter!

By 8:30 this morning, the girls had followed the jelly bean trail from their room to their Easter baskets, consumed copious amounts of sugar and chocolate, ate a real breakfast, gotten dressed in matching floral ensembles and hunted down a dozen or so eggs in the backyard.

At that point Addie wasn't much interested in sitting for a sisterly portrait.



The girls had Good Friday off from school so I took the day off and celebrated with 3 vaccinations for Miss Eliza followed by ice cream. That afternoon, Cap got off work early too and Addie's friend Rya and her family came over to dye eggs.


This was Eliza's first time to get in on the action. She successfully colored 5 eggs and 2 hands.


Once she figured out you could eat chocolate bunnies, she was totally on board.


Addie plays the bunny. Saturday she told me that at her swim lesson James was teaching her the backstroke. It's a secret though and I was only supposed to tell the Easter Bunny because he can keep a secret. He IS a secret she said. Obviously Mommy can't.


Jelly bean score during the egg hunt. She was content to find one egg and when pressed to find a second, this time a real one, she preceded to crack the egg and eat it right there.


Multi-tasking. Egg hunting, chocolate bunny eating and you may notice a roly-poly bug on her right thumb which she escorted around the yard.


And Easter just wouldn't be the same without the Easter Slug. The only difference this year is that it's not a snug. I miss snugs.
