Easter

Well, despite the fact the we had to spend Easter away from our family and most our friends, we had a pretty good one! Brianna woke up to find the basket that the Easter Bunny had left for her. (For inquiring minds, the basket included two coloring books, a small blank bunny notebook, some coloring crayons, an Easter puzzle, two pairs of Easter socks, a wind up chick, two carrot-shaped eggs with a few jelly beans in them, four pastel eggs with Easter-colored pastel Play-doh inside, a chocolate bunny, and a few peeps.) While she was looking through her basket she kept going "Eeser bunny, eeser bunny" (Easter Bunny). She's been pretty obsessed with him after she met him at the mall (twice!). After opening the basket we had to hurry to get ready for church. Bree looked super adorable in the pale pink dress Grammy Dee-dee bought her. The three of us headed off to church but we ended up leaving halfway through when Brianna decided she was done and started yelling "bye bye, side (outside)!" So, after skipping out on the last half of church we headed over to Perkins and had a late breakfast. :) By that time it was getting late so we headed home for Brianna's nap. In the early afternoon we went over to Stacy's place (Trav's co-worker) for Easter lunch. Brianna loves Stacy and was saying "Stacy's house, Stacy's house!" She even insisted on bringing her Easter basket with her to show to Stacy....We had a nice time with Stacy and company and then headed home for the afternoon. To wrap up the day we had Brianna hunt for eggs. Trav headed down by the apartment pond to hide the dozen eggs we had dyed. Bree and I followed about ten minutes later and her first Easter egg hunt began! Brianna seemed to get the concept pretty fast and she was finding eggs all by herself. Of course, as soon as she realized that we had included a few plastic eggs with some jelly beans inside she was more interested in finding the plastic ones! When she found a regular dyed egg she would quickly chuck it into her basket, but upon finding a plastic one would clutch it to her and start saying "open, open!"
