Happy Easter!

Easter was a quieter event this year. My new niece was due to arrive on Easter weekend, so our typical family get together was postponed. Add to that how crazy-busy our lives have been lately and we chose to keep things simple.

We woke up on Easter morning and the girls were thrilled that the Easter Bunny had visited our house. (Mom and Dad were smart this holiday - we didn't remind them about the Easter Bunny the night before, so they slept in!)

Checking out the goodies that the Easter Bunny brought...

Sharing some chocolate with Pandy...

Blowing bubbles -- her favourite activity!

The festivities were done by 8am -- we had a blast! This year, Ailee loved searching for the eggs and kept running from hiding place to hiding place. She still ate a ton of chocolate, but a lot less than last year! :)  Maelyn, as always, loved the hunt and searching for the tricky hiding spots.

We spent the rest of the day in our pyjamas, changing only to go outside to ride our bikes. At nap time, Ailee was almost asleep when she opened her eyes and shouted out, "Chocolate is so yummy!" I have to agree! :)
