We kicked off Easter Day this year with a little Easter surprise for Daddy and an Easter basket hidden for Kate. I start looking for fun, inexpensive Easter basket items for Kate a couple months in advance of Easter so that I have a good mix of items in her basket and it doesn't end up being all sweets.
 |
| This year was no exception! |
 |
Hidden safely in the first cabinet to the left!
(And straight on til morning...) |
We've not really talked about the Easter Bunny, per say, in our house. I've let Kate help me make and hide Brian's Easter surprises, so I would imagine one of these times things are going to click and she will realize that her parents are the ones making and hiding the Easter baskets she receives. Nonetheless, I grew up finding an Easter basket and Brian and I both enjoy the tradition of having her find one too!
Since Kate and I were the first ones up, we talked about hiding Brian's Easter surprise first!
 |
| Kate decided we'd hide it on the couch. |
 |
Behind these three pillows.
|
 |
| Safe and sound! |
 |
| Double checking that it is still there! |
While we waited for Daddy to get up, we put on our Belle dress, complete with Elsa earrings and a tiara and played with our race track cars!
 |
Being a princess and being a tunnel for a race track is
tough work, but somebody's gotta do it! |
When Daddy awoke, Kate and I were eager for him to find his surprise! Note the progression in these photos! Even though some are blurry, they are quintessential Kate and I love them!
 |
When we asked Daddy where he should look, Kate immediately
hopped up onto the couch and said, 'here'! |
 |
| Peeking behind the pillows/safely guarding the loot! |
 |
| He found it! |
 |
| Like a little sprite bouncing away! |
 |
| And a big Easter hug per Daddy's request! |
Next up, it was Kate's turn to find her Easter surprise! She definitely didn't realize that she was going to be getting an Easter surprise too! It took us a solid five minutes to convince her to put her toys down for a moment and come look for her Easter basket!
The big reveal:
She looked a bit shell shocked at first but thoroughly enjoyed all the fixins of her Easter basket AND got to taste cotton candy for the first time!
 |
| Our little Easter beauty! |
 |
| Light up, twirly Easter eggs?! Yes, please! |
 |
| Jack is eyeing that cotton candy! |
 |
| A new bead necklace! |
 |
| And Minnie and Princess Sofia stamps! |
 |
| Testing out the jelly beans! |
 |
| And trying some cotton candy! Yum! |
 |
| Easter 2015 loot! |
 |
Including this little pink bunny that was not pictured
in the above photo. |
 |
| Jack even tries the new necklaces on! |
 |
| These two! |
In this year's Easter basket we included an Easter book, a tulip tic-tac-toe game, a Frozen t-shirt, a grow-your-own sunflower kit, Tinkerbelle stickers, sunglasses, and a cup (she's a favorite around these parts), cotton candy, bubbles, jelly beans, flashy light up eggs, bead necklaces, glitter, stamps, a soft little bunny, and some glitter gak!
 |
| Can someone tell me where the time has gone?! |
We ended our Easter day with an early dinner at Brian's Aunt's house complete with an Easter egg hunt!
 |
| Easter eggs galore! |
 |
| And Kate was the sole player! |
 |
| Just filling our bucket! |
 |
| Egg hunter! |
We hope you and yours had a wonderful Easter as well!
