Easter (yeah, I know, I'm a little late)

For Easter every year, my mom likes to do a "Bunny Store". She hides "bunny money" in the eggs instead of prizes and when the kids find all their eggs, they get to go shopping at the Bunny Store. The kids love it and then she's not limited to such small prizes. This year, my mom was tired and didn't have as much money since she's not working anymore, so us kids took over. We had lots of fun picking out the bunny store merchandise and we decided to switch things up a little. We did a scavenger hunt for the eggs instead of a traditional hunt. At each stop there was a clue and an egg for each kid and the end "treasure" was the bunny store. Then they got to go shopping, they loved it. We also did a pinata and colored eggs. The kids had a blast! (I should point out that we were missing two kids this year since my poor sister, who lives in Elko, developed a blood clot in her leg the day before so they weren't able to travel. We missed them!)


I love to buy Easter outfits for the kids every year. I found the cutest sweater vests (I don't know what it is about the sweater vest, but I love them) and ties for the boys this year. I thought Karter would love them because they were green but he was NOT happy about having to wear it. He's normally such a cheesy kid when it comes to pictures but he would not even crack a smile. But I still think they both looked super handsome!




And here's Zachary being the goofball that he is:


Anyway, we had a pretty good Easter. The Easter bunny brought pre-made baskets this year (he must've been BUSY) with trains for Karter and Buzz Lightyear bubbles for Zachary, hid a few eggs full of coins and even left chocolate bunnies (a must for Easter) that looked exactly like the ones Grandma and Grandpa brought the day before- weird. :)

  1. Holy crap! Megan and Destiny are all grown up. That's crazy. Sounds like a fun Easter, I'll have to give my mom the scavenger hunt idea and bunny store for next year. She didn't wannna do another egg hunt after the kids had already been on 3. Glad you posted even if it was late. And the boys do look cute in the sweater vests even tho I'm not a fan of sweater vests. :)

About Me

My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
