Easter Weekend 2014

We had such a wonderful Easter weekend! On Saturday we went to a giant Egg Hunt with our friends Kenny, Jaime, Brooke and Zach. They had a bunch of activities for the kids before the hunt and once Avery realized there was no baby swing for her she decided to try the other options. She loved meeting the dog and cow characters and would run right up whenever they were near us. She also enjoyed "driving" the fire truck. Avery also got her face painted for the first time and chose a grey bunny - she took it all very seriously. And there was a GIANT slide - We thought she would be too scared since she normally is terrified of slides. But she tried it a couple times with Hung and then braved it on her own. She was so proud of herself and we were shocked she did it!

Then a helicopter flew over several times and dropped all the eggs and once we were allowed in Avery charged ahead and filled her bucket. Once Avery and Brooke traded in their eggs for candy they paid no attention to us and were off in their own sugar filled world.

Avery left a note and carrots and lettuce out for the bunny before bed. And was SO excited when she woke up to find her basket. She was squealing and jumping up and down waiting to go downstairs. She found her basket pretty easily and tore in to the candy - which she continued to do all day! We had a great brunch at our house with G, Papa, Uncle Cullen, Kristen and Grammy. G and Papa had an amazing spread that they brought to my house and we spent the afternoon and evening enjoying the awesome weather. We now have to re-teach Avery that every day does not start out with jelly beans, chocolate and peeps :)
