When planning Easter this year our plans were up in the air. We had no idea if we would be at home or in the hospital. We did know however, we wouldn't be traveling and that my parents would be here for the weekend. In the end, we were at home with my parents, Elsie, and our five day old little baby. It was low key. We did our grocery shopping the day before and took it easy.
On Saturday, we ventured out to a nursing home that hosts a little egg hunt. I followed with my camera and my dad followed with his video camera. It was so funny to watch her because she was very selective of the color of eggs she chose-I think she was trying to only pick up "girl colors": pink, purple, yellow, etc. I am not sure where she picked up this whole girl and boy color business but it impacts her decisions quite a bit. It was a nice day so it was nice to get out of the house for a little bit.
The next morning Elsie was so excited to head down the stairs to see if the Easter Bunny hid any eggs and brought her an Easter basket. She has been obsessed with hiding and finding eggs for awhile now
She found her basket hiding by the couch and instead of pulling the whole basket out, she pulled the items from her basket out one by one. She got a kite, a soccer ball, new Minnie Mouse nightgown (you can see from the pictures her current one is a bit small ;), some candy, a couple of card games, and a Easter book.
She also received some goodies from Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Craig like a Frozen dish set and some books.
The rest of the morning was spent enjoyng the day, Elsie, John, and my dad walked my mom down the street to the Catholic church for Mass while I stayed back with Evie. when my mom got back we got to work preparing Easter Dinner. My brother and Magda called in on Skype around 1:00 PM so we chatted with them for awhile and introduced Evie to them and talked about their upcoming arrival of their baby. Afrer visiting with them we enjoy dinner, took some pictures and then my parents had to take \off to head back north.
What a beautiful family! Everyone looks so happy.
