Easter Weekend

We had a great weekend of fun and activities.

We started off the Easter festivities with a little egg dyeing earlier in the week.  Madeline got really into it!

 On Saturday, after soccer, we were able to make it over to the Solana Beach Easter Egg hunt.

Madeline loved the jumpy castle, Olivia got her first taste of being inside with the big kids!

Getting ready for the hunt.

Unfortunately, the big blue Easter Bunny decided to settle in the middle of the 2-4 year old's section.  Madeline still has her fear of costumed people, so this didn't go over so well.  She did end up with a few eggs after daddy helped her some.  They each got to pick out one prize, so playing with their new toys gave them both something to look forward to.

The girls and daddy went for a Saturday afternoon dip in the hot tub.

This one loves getting her swimsuit on! "Twimming, twimming!!"

Madeline chose a goggle and snorkel set from the egg hunt, so wanted to give them a try.

Daddy had to pull out his goggle and snorkel to show Madeline how it is done.  You can see Olivia cracking up in the corner!

This one loves the water!

Madeline decided that she needed to write the Easter Bunny a letter and draw him a picture.  Any other night, I would have thought this was a great bedtime stall tactic, however, she was very concerned about getting to bed early and going to sleep so that the bunny could come.  She said she was ready for bed at 6:45!

The cute finished product!

Checking out their filled baskets!

They were met with approval!

 The Easter Bunny did hide eggs and they both were super into finding them scattered around the yard!

Love this action shot!

Easter cuties!

Checking out what the bunny had hidden in the eggs.

Love these girls!  They are getting so big!

Brunch at the cousins' house and the big girl table.

Car ride home--the sign of a successful party!

Reading cards from the grandparents!  Thanks to both sets of Grandparents for spoiling them!

The end of the day.  We heard a clomp, clomp, clomp in the hallway.  She gave us a great ending to a great day!

 Happy Easter all!!
