Easter Sunday (photo heavy)

Easter Sunday dawned with the clocks having gone forward an hour during the night. It threw me a little bit but we were soon all up and ready for Claire and the girls to come over.  Alice had had an Easter Egg Hunt at home before coming to us so knew what to expect.  She walked in the door and started spotting eggs straight away - no time for Grandma to be there with her camera first, no time to take off coat and shoes, just straight in and find the eggs ;)  It was so sweet to watch her get excited about hunting them out.

 Her little Easter bunny bag to collect the eggs in.

 Aunty Em was happy to be included in the hunting 

 and at times was even allowed to help with getting the eggs.

 Alice would run backwards and forwards putting the eggs in her little bag

 Mini eggs are certainly a favourite :)

 But so were the duck chocolate lollies she got

 Finding some more

 There were a few presents to open too :)

 Showing Mummy her chocolate lolly 

 And the final little Lindt bunny 

 goes into the bag :)

 Once the Easter Egg Hunt was finished, Alice helped to open Megan's presents too. After opening each one she would say "Here's your present Megan!"  and pop it on top of the car seat (where Megan was blissfully unaware of all the madness and mayhem going on around her as she slept through it all).

 A little later, having woken and had a feed, Megan was quite happy to lie on the quilt and get to know her new dolly :)

 She's showing much more interest in everything around her now and we're getting some lovely smiles

 Lots of talking

 And even a few chuckles.

Imagine how different next year will be with two little girls running around collecting eggs :)  I can't wait!!

Photo a Day & Easter

A couple more photos for this week :)

 Friday  06 April 2012
I spent a large part of the day printing out my photos to bring Project Life up to date.  In the evening I made a start on writing out the journalling cards - still a few more weeks to go though!

My photo has something to do with Emily, which she has asked I don't post so I'm respecting her wishes.

Happy Easter :)
Last night before going to bed, I asked Emily if she wanted to do an Easter egg hunt or if I should just get the Easter bunny ;o) to leave them in a pile for her.  She chose the egg hunt!  I got up fairly early this morning to organize everything (didn't want to do it last night because of the animals) and then enjoyed watching Emily look for all the eggs.

I think the Easter bunny may have forgotten his/her ears :o)

Claire, Craig and Alice came round this afternoon after Alice had had her nap.  Claire had phoned in the morning to tell me how their egg hunt had gone and all I could hear in the background was Alice say "chocolate, chocolate!"

I think she was more than happy to have another egg hunt and the little basket I had found for her worked a treat! However, she was so fast at picking up the eggs and putting them in the basket that most of my photos are a blur :o(  These are the only ones that were salvageable.

The Lindt gold bunnies, big and small, were a big hit (the girl has good taste!)

Deciding which egg to eat :o)

From our house they were off to visit Craig's Mum, Nana and his grandparents. I have a feeling Alice will have enough chocolate to last a little while!  

I hope you have had a lovely Easter too.
