Easter Weekend 2011...

....at a club near us that has an Egg Hunt every year. Turned out the drain here was our stand for many pics.

I know, Mr. C is in none of posed pics below (he was with momma).

Daddy & Miss E...

Grandma & Miss E...

Grandpa & Miss E...

And Mr. C!...

Then, with these eggs below that we colored (and a few others plastic ones with goodies inside), we had the official Easter Egg Hunt (Easter Morning) that the Easter Bunny had orchestrated.

Checking out our stash after the hunt!

See ya later!

Hippity Hoppity Happenings... & other stuff in pics

Well, here's the latest...
although some of the "latest" is about a month old. Mr. C is growing like a weed during a wet spring. Was over 2 feet tall at his 2 month appointment.
Miss E is a thoughtful big sister that will tell you if you're doing it wrong.
Hmmm... wonder what the future holds for us.
:-)
We had several 'bunnies' around at Easter time...

and another bunny~ Hub-Bunny...

Miss E bunny...

Mr. C: "What's all the funny bunny business?!?"...

and holding a bunny...

Cute as a bunny...

A "The End" to the bunny festivities for this year...

A cutie that found his thumb...

Am still getting used to saying "kids" ...we have kidS ! ...adorable ones at that.. and nooo, I don't think I'm biased.

The Day After Easter

A couple of days ago, I had started picking out some pics for an Easter post (from the www), but ended up posting the videos of our Little Someone. Well, in keeping with not letting my searching (that was incomplete) go to waste, here they are.

Just thought this was "Eastery" looking -the pastel colors and all.

Easter reminds me of many things- nature and all her splendor. And this shot in an egg shape just caught me.

When I was perusing the net, looking at thumbnails, I did a double take of this one thinking someone had put bunnies on the table- nope, just cleverly done cakes.

Just look at those colors!

This pic was taken out our west porch- the pic has not been 'touched'. Those colors are real. Just beautiful, isn't it?

I could wax philosophic about much, but I won't. It suffices to say that we are blessed.

A Preamble to Easter

We live rurally. However, there is a neighborhood close by that is gated & moated (a very nice one, to say the least- a 1/4 acre lot goes for $50K). Anyway, we have a friend that lives in this neighborhood, thus allowing us entrance by the front guard shack as guests of hers. We feel quite lucky, as we are able to take advantage of those events that some neighborhoods offer that living rurally doesn't, i.e. Good Friday Easter Egg Hunts for the little ones, Halloween trick-or-Treating and going to the club-house pool for swimming in the summer.
The Friday Easter festivities are busy, loud and harried... but, for the most part, fun for the little ones.
Below is a video of our Little Someone meeting the Easter Bunny~ she wasn't so sure of this hairy big bunny... but, I guess, I wouldn't be either!

For book purposes, the below picture was put in place of the video.

It was taken from same time period and is the only pic I have from that Easter.

Don't forget to scroll down and pause or mute my Playlist on the right, so you can hear the video.

Here's another one of her gathering eggs.
Just for the record... in case it looks like I am just about dragging our daughter out before we start 'gathering'... I gently was... the camera does not catch the HERD(!) behind us, as each age group has a rope on the ground sectioning off eggs for that group... I did not want us to get bumped or smooshed. We were in the 3 and under group-though the announcer says '3 y/olds' (our daughter is 2yrs, 8 months). Also, one woman's voice on there (particularly at the beginning) is not mine -it was CROWDED... but not as much where we were. We were given a number limit on eggs, hence why we stopped.

Don't forget to scroll down and pause or mute my Playlist on the right, so you can hear the video.

This post is scheduled to post on Easter ~ hope you all have a good one.
