Easter

In the land of the groundhog, Easter is still ruled with an iron fist by a bunny rabbit. I can't help but refer everyone to the scene in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" where the Knights are being held up from going into the cave by "a fearsome creature" which turns out to be a bunny rabbit. The knights decide to charge it, and this little bunny jumps up and bites their heads off one by one until being finally dispatched by the Holy Hand Grenade. "Thou shalt pull the pin, and count to three. Three being the number thou should countest to, and stopping on three. Thou shalt not skip two, or count to four ..." etc etc. I need to watch that movie again, it's been years. Anyhow, I digress.

Easter started by the girls attending the weekly "Mommies" group on Wednesday. There was an egg hunt, and a visit by the Easter bunny. After first being freaked out, Allison and Ryleigh both warmed up to him for a few pictures. After that, on Saturday, Allison and Ryleigh got the chance to dye eggs with Daddy before going to bed. They loved it, especially the part where the tablet was dropped into the vinegar and it started to bubble and fizz. We were able to dye about 15 eggs, and only lost two when the girls were holding them up for pictures.

We decided to cut down on the candy this year for everyone, and instead got the girls each a new outfit (besides their Easter dresses), a small pink baseball glove for each, some pink peeps, and once chocolate bunny each. They loved it, and Allison can't wait to play catch with Daddy. Sunday we had Daddy's birthday dinner, since Rachel was working on Monday night (the actual day), and Chicken Pot Pie was on the menu. Allison helped Mommy make a simple cake for Daddy and sang "Happy Birthday". Simple, but nice. So, it was a good day.

Love to all.
