Getting Ready for Easter

We had a jam-packed Saturday with a visit to Anthony Thomas Candy Company to see the Easter Bunny, our neighborhood Easter egg hunt, and an adults only night at our friends' house so Sunday ended up being a bit more low-key (and Todd was able to brew his first batch of beer in his basement brewery!).

Girls with the Easter Bunny (and no tears from Cece!)

After seeing the Easter Bunny, the kids get to pick out some eggs with candy inside and then you head upstairs for the self-guided tour of the factory

Watching them make buckeyes

Their chocolate covered strawberries are all hand cut & hand dipped so here they are cutting the strawberries..

and here they are dipping them

Selfie!

And then someone graciously offered to take our picture for us

Cece & Todd enjoying their chocolate samples as we made our way from the tour to the store

One more bunny in the store

Getting ready for our neighborhood Easter egg hunt (which was the coldest one yet!)

Excited to find some eggs!

Lucy's bucket was filled within 5 minutes

Cece was taking her time but still managed to get a few eggs

She was more excited to open them up...

and try to eat the candy with the wrapper still on

All done!

Todd helping Cece open all her eggs 

Lucy & I

Grandpa also came to see the girls

Lucy wanted to put on a photo shoot later that day so she pulled over the stool and had Cece pose in the chair

We had a babysitter on Saturday night so Todd & I could go to game night at a friends' house; unfortunately, this is the only picture I took but I was impressed by the green & Irish-themed caricature board one of our friends had put together for St. Patrick's Day

Todd caught us looking at the Target ad on Sunday morning

More photo shoots set up by Lucy but this time in costume
