The Easter Bunny

Just like Christmas, Annabelle was up at the crack of dawn to go hunting. Dave's mom had the excellent idea of hiding several dozen jellybeans throughout the house. That kept her busy until the grown ups could get dressed to go outside. I kept hiding more and more jelly beans throughout the morning and it seemed every ten minutes or so we'd hear Annabelle scream because she had found ANOTHER one!

We discovered that the Easter Bunny did not leave any eggs at Oma and Papa's house. But maybe there was another treat to find? Let's keep looking... (I did actually boil eggs when we were at Stinson, to paint for a hunt. I put them aside to cool and when I came back an hour later they were all eaten!)

An Easter Basket! (It was raining and tough to convince her to keep looking even though we were all chilly and getting wet.)

Oooh, this is fun!

Could it be? The Easter Bunny brought another doll? That bunny is out of his mind.

Annabelle got her own sketch pad. When she opened it she said, "Oh. Mom, the Easter Bunny gave you something too." I was quick to explain that I thought the Easter Bunny wanted her to have her OWN sketch pad. She liked that idea.

Easter lunch.

It was a very nice morning! The perfect end to a Spring break.

Prime rib, yum.
