Easter 2019

At the beginning of January, my in-laws go to Florida for a few months so we like to spend Easter with them and the rest of Todd's immediate and extended family since we haven't seen them since Christmas.  We made the drive up late Saturday morning, stopped for lunch, and arrived in the mid-afternoon which gave us time to visit and enjoy dinner with family before Easter on Sunday.  The girls were so excited to see that the Easter bunny stopped by MaMa & PaPa's house.  After opening their baskets, we all went to church and then spent the rest of our day at Todd's sister's house for the extended family Easter lunch before making the drive back home in the late afternoon.

We got a new car in January but this was the first time we actually turned the TV on; they each had picked out a couple movies to bring and spent the drive there and back watching them (although, Cece did fall asleep for most of the drive back on Sunday after not napping for two days)

I had ordered some paint your own cookies from my cookie lady so the kids spent some time doing that on Saturday before dinner

Cece starting to paint

Lucy working on her masterpiece

This girl is all smiles when it involves treats

So proud of her painted cookie

Easter bunny arrived late Saturday night

Lucy found her basket hiding behind a chair on Easter morning

Cece spotted her basket but couldn't reach it so Lucy got it down

Easter morning smiles

The Easter bunny brought Lucy some Descendants dolls, which she couldn't wait to open up, and the Descendants DVDs; Cece was more interested in trying to open her goldfish crackers to eat instead of her Shimmer & Shine boat bath toy and princess book she got

The girls also received unicorn sticker books, matching nightgowns with a matching one for their bitty babies too, and stick-on earring and ring sets

Another family one

And one with Todd's parents as well

They each got an Easter basket from MaMa & Papa

After Easter lunch, the kids had an Easter egg hunt outside

Running around trying to find the eggs

Afterwards, my sister-in-law had cascarones to break open (confetti eggs)

Confetti was in everyone's hair

The kids couldn't stop smiling and giggling while doing this so it was all worth it
