~Easter~

We love holidays at our house! The kids get so excited whenever one is near. We have several traditions that we always look forward to. One thing we love to do at Easter time, is go on the Easter Bunny Trail at our local grocery store. Lexi was so excited to see the Easter Bunny and to fill her basket with all kinds of yummy treats.The kids also love coloring Easter eggs, although now I don't know what to do with all the eggs they colored. :)
But one of the kids favorite things about Easter is looking for their Easter baskets on Easter morning. The Easter bunny hides the kids Easter baskets and leaves clues around the house to help them find them. They love seeing where the Easter bunny will hide their baskets each year.


Lexi was the first to find her basket, which the bunny hid in the hall closet.
Mckell's basket was hidden in Lexi's closet.
And Hunter's basket was hidden in the front seat of my Tahoe.
The kids baskets were filled with bunny ears, an Easter/spring outfit, flip flops, shoes, bubbles, swimsuits, and lots and lots of candy. The bunny also left each of them a big bouncy ball.
Later that day, we went to my parent's house for an Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt. The kids each had a basket that the bunny (a.k.a Grandpa) hid. They had fun running around following clues for a second time.
The eggs in the egg hunt were filled with $. The kids thought this was great! Hunter ended up taking home the most money $16. The kids really liked that some of the eggs had golden dollars in them. We really had a GREAT Easter!
One thing that I wanted to get a picture of, but didn't, was the kids in their new Easter church clothes that Grandma Ropelato bought for them.
I guess I'll have to get that next Sunday :)
