Easter 2009

We had so many things to do this Easter! The day before Easter, we went to church for the annual Easter egg hunt. It was really rainy and only about 50 degrees, so we had to look for eggs in the church. It was pretty cool though because they were all through the hallways, the narthex, and even in the Sunday School classrooms. Later that afternoon we decorated Easter eggs at home. Mommy bought us a Transformer Easter egg kit, that was totally WICKED (that's my new word by the way). The next day we woke up and found a letter from the Easter bunny on our table in the kitchen. Next to it was a clue for each of us. We had to go on a hunt for our baskets! Mine was hidden in the oven and Em's was in the dishwasher! That bunny gets sneakier every year! Once we found our baskets, we got to go on an egg hunt in the house. We finally got ready for church. It was nice to remember the REAL meaning of Easter amidst all of the fun activities--Jesus loves us! After a beautiful service at church, which Mommy said later she was so proud of us for behaving because there was no Sunday School, we went to Mommom Lenor and Poppop Ladd's house for brunch. The Easter bunny hid eggs and baskets for us there too! The hunts at Poppop's house were outside though. We headed home at about 2 o'clock and Mommy started making our Easter dinner. This is the first time that she let us eat on her special plates! We had a really yummy dinner of Baked Ham, Southern Candied Yams (we tried them, but weren't really fans), deviled eggs (we liked the egg whites, but not the middles), and steamed brocolli. After a long day of fun, we hit the sack early at about 6:45 so we could wind down with a chapter from Harry Potter (book 2). We hope you all had a very Happy Easter too!
