Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!!!!!

We colored eggs yesterday and the kids had so much fun with it!
 






The kids were very excited to wake up this morning and see their Easter baskets. I think they were even more excited to see that the magic jelly beans they planted last weekend had grown into a large lollipop!




After breakfast (we had yummy carrot cake pancakes!) we had our Easter egg hunt. We hid 75 eggs and the kids had a blast finding them all. A few had candy (we tried to keep sweets to a minimum this year), some had money, and a lot of them were filled with coupons for awesome things like dates with Mommy or Daddy, movie nights, sleepovers, stay up 15 minutes late, extra bedtime stories, kids choice dinners/breakfasts, etc. They were most excited over the coupons and it was a great way to fill the eggs without using more candy!










They found a ladybug while searching for eggs!



Now we are cuddling watching a movie while the ham cooks in the oven. :) It's been a great day so far!

I agree the coupons are a great idea! :) We had to hide the colored eggs. Lexi insisted. Then she asked why WE didn't get them anything. HAHA. The Easter Bunny is just too good to them! :)
