The Easter Bunny managed to make an appearance despite stores being limited on items.  He/she even made the girls some pretty nice baskets filled with puffy paints, glues, stickers, bath bombs, Twix, and some books and socks. The girls played by the rules and stayed in their rooms until 9:00, a deal we made since they stayed up to 11:00 Saturday night watching The Greatest Showman.   That gave me a chance to meditate, journal, workout, shower, and even put real clothes and make-up on all before 9:00!

They eagerly crowded the stairs at 9:00 a.m!  They had made notes and pictures for the Easter Bunny Saturday, something they had never done before.  As such they weren’t sure if the Easter Bunny was going to leave the notes and pictures or take them.  We weren’t sure either!

The girls were super excited about their Easter baskets.

Breakfast was pancakes, sausage, and fruit for the girls while Justin and I had some eggs and yogurt respectively.  (We’ve been temporarily moving furniture around during this quarantine…today our breakfast table is in our “living room”).

At 10:10, the girls got on their IPADS and attended Sunday school while Justin and I watched the Church Service while drinking our coffee.

The girls were eager for their Easter Egg Hunt and thrilled that I was able to find some Swedish Fish and chocolate candy online. This was the first year without jelly beans; however, the girls understood and were just as excited about the Swedish Fish as a replacement.

The girls cooperated with the obligatory Easter pictures knowing that those must happen before the Easter Egg hunt could begin.

And of course some family pictures were necessary as well.

It was chilly out today causing a last minute wardrobe change for me….my cute jumpsuit turned into jeans last minute, the first time I haven’t worn a dress for Easter in at least five years.

And then finally they were off! 

The girls had their own egg colors for which they were hunting, a tradition we started last year and is liked by all the girls.  Twenty-seven eggs for each girl.

Some candy was enjoyed after the hunt.

A second hunt, a free for all hunt, occurred in the afternoon….about 40 eggs, none of which are color designated per kid.

Claws and tears came out this time!

Whether it was a friendly competition or not was debatable.  They all agreed they like having their own eggs better; yet, I did witness quite a bit of sharing, playing together, and a joyous day by all!
