Little Easter bunnies

By Linda, on April 6th, 2015

As promised, here is our Easter post. We are on a roll in Seattle, with sunshine-filled Easters for the last 4 years. We stayed away from big community Easter hunts this year. They may be more fun when the kids are bigger, but for now, it feels excessive and they are lucky to have as much as they already do, with doting parents, loving grandparents and generous family from all over. So we did our little egg hunt at home in the morning, then over to our friends’ home for brunch. There was a definite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme for Elliott. He started the morning with a Skype call to Grandma Dana, who sent him and Nora the sweetest Easter basket in the mail, including a Leonardo for Elliott. He basically has been in heaven ever since. He asked about 20 times a day for the last several days if he could open the package from Grandma, and he wasn’t disappointed when at least he could tear in. Nora Goose struggled a bit to understand what was going on, but definitely figured it out and happily pointed at eggs and begged for more chocolate as soon as she would finish any given to her, frantically signing “more, more” with her chubby little hands and crying when she finished a packet of the highly-coveted Annie’s Gummy Bunnies.

I’ll jump right into pictures. Can you tell I had a little fun getting them dressed up? Nora’s darling dress is from Grandma Dana, and wowza did she get fawned over by everyone who saw her. Even after a little chocolate drool dripped down the front, despite my best efforts.

Elliott never let go of his Leonardo from Grandma:
