Easter Bunny

We heard some strange noises downstairs overnight and were worried about a stranger in our house. When the kids woke up and came into our room, we told them about the weird noises and sent daddy down to investigate to make sure it was safe for us to come down. He searched all over the house to find someone while I fed Jacob in our room and the kids waited with me. When Jacob was ready and daddy had officially declared it to be safe downstairs, we all went down to search for Easter eggs.

This year, the Zufelt heritage Easter bunny came, since the Robinson heritage Easter bunny had visited us last year. Ben was a little surprised that there wasn't candy all over the floor and he noticed that his name wasn't spelled out in M&Ms on the couch like it was last year. He was very excited though, to find out that there were plastic Easter eggs hidden all over the main floor of the house. Then he found some Cadbury eggs and the real eggs we had colored the other day with egg dye were hidden too. The kids had a blast finding them. When we were finished, we put them all in a pile and took turns choosing eggs to fill our baskets. Maddie chose pink every time until there were only two pink left, then she got a few other colors. Ben was sweet and offered me an egg for my basket now and then. Claudia and Aimee gave all the kids new baskets this year. Maddie was most excited about hers because it was pink and purple. Jacob just wanted to eat his basket. Ben remembered having his name spelled out in M&Ms last year at Aunt Kristie's house and missed it. He decided to spell his name himself to reconcile the situation.

After all the candy was divided out, we broke some hard boiled eggs and had them for breakfast. It was nice to have some fun with the kids and enjoy a little time together. It was also nice to have the Easter bunny come on Saturday instead of Easter Sunday. That way, Easter is left for the kids to associate the real holiday with Christ.
