Easter

Nora's first Easter! We had a great, pretty relaxing Easter enjoying the first really nice, warm weekend of the year.  We kicked off the celebrating with  the annual Egg Hunt with Brett's parents. Henry always has a blast racing across the driving range grabbing as many eggs as he can. It was also his chance to get his photo taken with the Easter Bunny.
 Easter morning Henry woke up and found his and Nora's Easter baskets set out for them. Since he still didn't want the bunny to come into our house (his request for the last couple years) we set the baskets outside for the bunny. However, I had to get up early to let Wilbur outside so at that point I just brought the filled baskets inside. ;)  Being the good big brother that he is, he looked through Nora's basket first and showed her each item, then laid them all out to look at (as seen in the picture below).  Then it was time to hunt for eggs in our yard.

 I didn't count them, but I know there were a TON of eggs - Henry had to call in Dad to be his basket carrier there were so many.

Then it was time to open ALL those eggs which were mostly filled with candy and some quarters. I have a feeling next year there might be more quarters than candy...just a hunch I have.  Henry had a very unique (although ineffective) method of opening his eggs...cracking them on the side of the bowl as if they were real eggs. 
Then we headed to Merriweather's for brunch with my family and everyone came over to our house after for some sweet treats and visiting. All in all a great Easter. Now we are back to our regular school schedule and Henry's new term of extra-curricular classes beginning. He's taking a new acting class (different program and teacher) and swimming. We might end up doing another class since the swimming is on Saturday...we'll see how it goes.
