Bountiful Baskets

Easter morning the kids woke us up around 8:30. It was an Easter Miracle.

We told them they could go out to the living room. When I came out I found 3 backsides facing me checking out the stash. It was too cute.

I was also greeted by this face (above). I know she has snot running down her nose, but it was still too cute a face not to document. 

The Easter bunny left piper her very own egg hunt in the living room.

she was a pro at finding them...

and loved the puffs inside!

The Easter bunny always leaves one toy at our house. This year the Easter bunny felt bad that Cole had been uprooted half way through a school year and spoiled him with two. Luckily Ali seemed oblivious to this injustice.

she was too busy with her chicken.

"Mom! it barfs eggs!"

"It's not throwing up honey"

"oh, I mean, its pooping eggs mom!"

then Cole and Ali found their egg hunt!

whilst piper read her knew books.

and hunted through her spoils.

...and Coles' spoils.

He didn't mind.

It was a fabulous Easter. That night we watched "He is Risen". The kids sat silently. Ali cried and Cole asked to watch it again. It was a tender moment as we all took the time to reflect on the priceless gift that our Savior gave us.
