Happy Easter!

We decided to make Evangeline a small Easter basket this year since she also got one at daycare. We knew her daycare basket was going to be filled with lots of sweets, so for the basket that the Easter Bunny brought her, we decided to fill with more practical things (and less sugary)! She did get some lollipops, a chocolate bunny (a MUST for Easter), and of course her favorite, Hot Tamales. But we also got her a new pair of sunglasses, some sidewalk chalk for the summer, and some child friendly gardening tools so she can help us outside!

We also wanted to have a small Easter egg hunt for her, but it was going to be too cold out this morning, so last night after Evangeline went to sleep, we placed plastic eggs around the house. When she woke up this morning she was SO excited to see that the Easter bunny came! We had our Easter egg hunt and she found all of them! And then for the next 30 min she played with her basket. I'd say it was a pretty successful Easter morning!

Drew isnt big on celebrating holidays, but I am determined to make sure we atleast do something small for each Holiday to show the importance of celebrating together as a family. So we bought a ham last night and for dinner we are going to have ham, mashed potatoes (home-made of course), green bean casserole and probably some stuffing. Nothing too fancy... but enough for leftover this week! Yum!

I hope everyone has a great Easter... we wish we could be coser to family to celebrate!
