Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

We are enjoying a bright and sunny, albeit briskly cold, Easter Sunday.

It is a quiet Easter for us this year- Wim, Josie Dong Dong, and I, but we are definitely making the most of it!

Josie knew something special was coming up with a bunny because everyone at her baby school has been talking about ALL week and we have been reading special Easter stories at home as well.

Saturday-morning was spent decorating eggs and Josie Dong Dong had a great time coloring eggs. She squealed in delight when we took the eggs out of the dye and she saw how pretty they were.

"We're coloring eggs for Easter!"

"Look at my pretty eggs!"

I explained to Josie that the Easter Bunny likes to play games. My experience with him is that he will hide my colored eggs and then I have to find them. He also leaves fun presents!

Josie was quite happy on Sunday morning to find present from the Easter Bunny and her very own new yard chair.

Uh oh! The egg carton is empty! Josie Dong Dong will have to find her eggs!

The egg hunting had to wait until after church. We've found that the early services work best with Josie-- they are much shorter than the later services. So we were up and running soon after Josie looked through her Easter Bucket, or Ducket as Daddy calls it.

As soon as we returned home from Church, the hunt was on and Josie Dong Dong knew exactly what to do!

"I'm finding all my eggs that the Easter Bunny hid."

Josie Dong Dong showed off her multi-tasking skills by munching on jelly beans while still hunting for eggs.

"The Easter Bunny hid extra eggs with Candy in them!"

After Josie Dong Dong found all of her eggs, she put them right back where they belonged-- in the egg crate!

"I'm putting you back where I left you!"

Josie enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt. Shortly after she was done she announced that she wanted her dress and shoes off! She wanted her pants and her new blue cheap-o croc knock-offs. She saw these crocs at Walmart and ABSOLUTELY HAD TO HAVE THEM.

After changing into her comfy attire, Josie Dong Dong kicked back in her knew chair.

"Happy Easter!"
