This year Easter was a full weekend event. It started early Saturday morning with a neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Rio watched from the backpack carrier while Lily got the hang of hunting for eggs pretty quickly. Lily, you were so excited to find each egg that you would forget that you could find even more. Mommy got a little competitive and started pointing all the eggs out to you.
Then we headed over to Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island with your cousins. All in the fire engine:
Then Easter morning you both opened your Easter baskets. This is the third year in a row I have put that bunny in your basket. I'm guessing I can't get away with that again next year!
Then we got all dressed up and went to mass. We got there a little late so we had to sit in the extra seating behind the altar. Not what parents of two young children want to hear. Rio, you hung in there but you really would have preferred to be on the go. Lily, you did great. At one point I look over and you made your new bunny Pez dispenser give me a hug on the shoulder. I had a hard time containing my giggles. Lily if you are reading this and have not yet seen the Seinfeld episode with the Pez dispenser, then stop what you are doing, watch it, then return. Funny right? One other church story. I look over another time only to see you have raised your entire dress and are breast feeding your new bunny. Wouldn't be such a big deal except we are in front of the entire church. Here you are in your dress:
The weather was gorgeous so we then went to Seward Park. Rio, you loved crawling around in the grass:
Then Aunt Heidi, Uncle Steven, Audrey, and Jack all came over to dye Easter eggs and stayed for dinner.
It was a great weekend! Happy Easter!
Love,
Mom
