Did we really think they would sleep in on Easter morning? Did it seem possible they'd stay in their beds right up until we woke them for church? Did I really think I could stall the Easter egg hunt until after we returned home?
Sounds like someone (no need to name names) enjoyed a little too much chocolate while pinch-hiding as the Easter Bunny, and the sugar was affecting her ability to reason.
Jeff had to work the night before, so my intent had been to let him get as much sleep as possible before church. Too bad the kids didn't see it my way. AJ was awake by 8 a.m., and quickly scoped the living room for hidden eggs. By 8:30, Sydney was awake, too, and there was no holding them back.
"Daddy! The Easter Bunny came!"
Who needs an alarm clock when you've got an overly excited wake-up service? After that, the hunt was on.
It's always a challenge to get decent photos of the Easter egg hunt. They're moving so quickly, by the time the camera focuses, they're long gone, in search of more.
Racing around the living room, AJ of course had to count out loud, keeping tally of his eggs so that he could gloat he'd found more than his sister. Sydney couldn't have cared less. She found plenty and was perfectly happy.
Jelly beans and M&M's, chocolate eggs and Tootsie Rolls. It's a candy-lover's dream!
As he took stock of all he had found, AJ proclaimed, "God and Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny can read my mind!"
