Valley Girl Views: Happy Easter

We have had a busy sun-filled Easter weekend. Here are some pictures from all of the festivities.

On Saturday, our neighborhood hosted an Easter egg hunt at one of the parks. The Easter Bunny even stopped by for a visit.

Kate told me that there was a human inside the bunny costume because she saw his shoes. Can't fool the 5 year old! I couldn't convince Jack to participate in the egg hunt until it was too late and the eggs were all taken. Luckily Mommy snuck 3 eggs off the ground so he didn't leave empty handed!

The "real" Easter Bunny got to work after Kate & Jack were sound asleep. Baskets were assembled and eggs were filled & hidden throughout the downstairs.

Kate woke up at 6:45 extremely excited to see if the Easter Bunny had come. We let her go down and check, but we made her wait for a bit longer to wake up Jack and start hunting for eggs.

Success!

And Kate too - with silly Daddy and his awesome morning hair!

After the egg hunt, we made a bunny cake just like the one I used to make when I was little (except without the coconut because Kate doesn't like it - whose child is she?).

In fact, here is a picture of me and my brother from some time in the early 80s (notice my awesome hair) holding our bunny cake. My brother looks so serious.

While I was busy frosting the cake, the Easter grass fight was commencing. I discovered this all over my family room. Mommy was not happy. Apparently Daddy was busy watching the Masters when this occurred.

After vacuuming up that fun, we dyed our eggs.

They turned out great!

While the Masters was wrapping up (hooray for Bubba!) we got ready to head to Grandma & Poppa's house. Here is Kate looking cute as can be in our backyard. I love this picture of her!
