Easter!

We had a great Easter - pretty laid back, nothing too exciting. Our giant backyard made Nora's first real egg hunt extra special and fun. She had gotten some practice the day before at the country club's annual egg hunt. She picked up the idea very quickly and was helping find eggs as quickly as she could. Of course Henry was the main finder of the eggs as he raced around the yard and found all the Easter bunny's bounty.

 Unfortunately the day before Easter was a rainy one so I didn't get too many pictures of the kids at the country club, but they had a great time and Henry even found a golden egg this year! He was so excited - he won a gift certificate to Jamba Juice (which, coincidentally, he used today!).

 The kids baskets were filled with candy and a few little gifts - gardening gloves and spades for both of them and little plastic greenhouses to grow basil. We planted the basil and the sprouts are already a couple inches tall and ready to be transplanted.

 Henry has been asking for a suit for a while now so we finally got him one (it's a little big, but that way it will fit him for longer). He couldn't be happier or prouder of himself when he wears it. I wish these pictures of them on Easter had turned out better because they looked so cute all dressed up. My camera lens has some terrible scratches on it, but luckily I just got a hand-me-down camera so from now on my pictures should be a lot better.

 After breakfast at our house, we all reconvened at Gigi's house for dinner...and of course more egg hunting there as well. The weather had changed for the better and we were able to be outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Happy Easter!
