Moody Bunny - Happy Easter!

I have to be honest, this Easter was a little bit of a letdown.  75% of us were sick, an infant made preparing for the Easter Bunny on Easter's Eve very difficult, and to top it all off - we made the poor decision to let Owen eat all the candy and cookies that were in the hidden eggs for breakfast which completely sent him into an unrecoverable tail spin for the rest of the day.

However, for the 60 minutes it took to hunt for eggs and open Easter Baskets, it was pretty darn fun.  Nana was visiting Michael, Kelly and Audrey in Maryland, so this was the first immediate family only Easter.  And, it was Adam's first Easter!  We had been talking to Owen about the Easter Bunny for the last few weeks and I think he *kind of* gets the idea.  Easter morning he woke up and was ready to get all the chocolate he was convinced the Easter Bunny was bringing him.  As we found the first couple eggs and he cracked them open, he got really into the hunt! 

Side note: One of Owen's favorite bedtime books is about a bunny on an Easter Egg scavenger hunt.  After he finds each egg, the next clue reads: "Well done, Bunny!  Hop Hop Hop.  Now off you go to where the ...."  This was playing over and over in my head as Owen searched the house for all the hidden eggs. 

After the hunt, we opened baskets.  Owen got some Thomas trains, a Curious George stuffed monkey, some books and crayons.  Adam got a couple toys and rice cereal and spoons!  He is excited to crack into the box in the next week or so after his four month checkup...Big boy!

After the baskets, Owen melted down.  Steve and I enjoyed our Christmas Eggs.  Owen melted down.  For lunch, I made some Easter Bunny pretzels which I think turned out pretty cute.  We ate them with queso dip and mustard.  Owen melted down.  Then it was nap time and that pretty much ended the festivities.  Hopefully next year when Adam can help look for eggs, we'll all have a better day!
