Sofia's Easter basket included a large chocolate bunny from See's, a sheep stuffed animal, a container of bubbles, a Star Wars bank, a few ring pops, a brand new swimsuit, Star Wars erasers, a new skirt and top outfit, a paintable bunny craft, a container of See's chocolate eggs with white chocolate chicks inside and a container of Peeps. Olivia's Easter basket included all the same goodies, except instead of a sheep stuffed animal she received a bunny rabbit. She also got a different skirt and top and a different swimsuit, which she later wished was the same as Sofia so they could match. The girls loved their new things and were excited to go through it more fully after Meeting.
After everyone was up and dressed, we headed off to Meeting and then hurried home to get back to get the Easter meal prepared. We'd invited Scott, Brenda, Oliver, Kyle and Annie to join us for our meal which is pretty much the same thing we have every Easter. We bought a Honey Baked Ham, made the delicious crockpot potatoes au gratin, brussel sprout salad, rolls and green beans. We'd also made a carrot cake from scratch that was amazing and Brenda brought two flan she'd made as well as guacamole and chips for us to snack on before the meal was ready. We'd also asked Annie to take photos of each family as well as a group photo of the Grandparents with all of their grandkids and another of all of us while we got the finishing touches ready.
Of course, Annie took just incredible photos of everyone although she tried and tried to get a really good one of all of us together and Jackson was not willing to sit still and smile. He was done and despite promising candies and all sorts of goodies, he was done and ready to eat his Easter meal, as most of us were. Annie finished her photographic work and we all enjoyed our Easter meal. It was all delicious and we had more than enough food, as always. After a relaxed and delicious meal, we enjoyed flan, carrot cake and coffee while CK and Scott headed into the backyard to hide the hundreds of eggs we'd stuffed. Connie helped me stuff them with candy and toys and also came up with a great idea of putting numbers into about 25 of the eggs so that kids could pick out a prize from a beautiful prize basket that Connie put together. It was full of all sorts of toys and goodies that the kids would love. There was also a grand prize egg that would allow the finder a prize of a chocolate bunny.
Cynthia and her family were due to leave on a 5:45pm flight out of DFW, so we had to hurry the afternoon along so everyone could enjoy the day without rushing too much.
The Easter Bunny was here!!
