Easter 2013

Easter was a very busy time at our house, specifically for mom. After last year's successful neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt, the HOA asked us to make it an annual affair so my dining room table was filled with plastic eggs, candy, sidewalk chalk and bubbles for weeks leading up to Easter. The HOA even invested in an inflatable bounce house and a bunny costume, which Michael was spared from wearing this year.

Later than night Harrison reminded me that we needed to dye his eggs. He had been itching all week to use the Star Wars decorating kit but I thought the "regular" dyed egg creations were his best work. He made likenesses of several family members, notably Zaidy as evidenced by the mustachioed egg.

Sunday morning, Harrison awoke to find his eggs all hidden out on the deck but the big surprise was that the Easter Bunny had also hidden his Easter basket and left scavenger hunt clues inside plastic eggs. His hunt took him all over the house including in the bath tub and in the refrigerator until he ultimately found baskets for Tucker and him on the balcony.

 Later that morning we went to Grandmama's house for brunch which included another egg hunt indoors. After afternoon naps we went back for Easter dinner and Harrison got to hunt yet again outdoors which included his first time searching "up" in places like trees and in bird houses (with some help from Zaidy). Tucker did a fine job watching the fun.

To round out the post, here are my two favorite Easter photos of my two favorite little boys:
