Easter

April 5, 2010 RavenThreads

Easter was a big deal for the kids (well, the baby slept through most of the festivities). It was the first year that both Bennett and Emalee were big enough to enjoy hunting eggs.

The baby, of course, mostly just laid around looking cute.

Emalee was in the worst mood though. She cried so hard about Bennett beating her to the yard at Nana’s house to hunt eggs that she made herself throw up. life with her is always so wonderful An observant person might also notice that Bennett is wearing a bike helmet on his back in the picture below. He was pretending to be an Easter turtle and that was his turtle shell. Half my pictures of him from yesterday have his turtle shell in them.

The other big news from easter weekend from the kids is that they both got new bunnies from my parents. They named their bunnies “Max” and “Ruby”. Then, they sat in front of the tv with them, making the bunnies watch the show “Max and Ruby” .

Here’s our first family portrait from a holiday with all five of us

This year I sat out the easter baskets on their art trays in the middle of the living room. Emalee got up first, and was complaining about being up…she passed by the trays, turned around and went “What?”. I said, “It’s your Easter present, Silly.” She got so excited.
