It's a good thing the girls got their room cleaned by Saturday night, because the bunny almost had to pass right by this house. The girls and I had a fun Easter morning - Daddy was on call at the children's hospital so we hurried and ate all the good treats before he got home.
I guess the bunny found out how much June and Winnie loved the new movie, How to Train Your Dragon, because he hooked them up with dragon capes and giant eggs that hatched baby dragons in warm water.
Aunt Becky invited us to the annual Easter brunch, and it was scrumptious. So began the over- indulgence for the day. I think I set a new record for number french-toasts consumed in under 10 minutes. I'm blaming this baby boy. He has turned into the biggest eater. Is that a boy thing? Because I have never been this hungry in my life!
The girls got to hunt eggs with all the cousins. And the treats just kept on coming.
I waited until the last minute to hunt for cute Easter dresses and missed all the good ones. So we went with plan B. The girls wore these cute, frilly shirts and their new matching church sandals. It is blowing my mind this year that my girls are practically wearing the same size. Even in shoes! June is in an 11 and Winn is right behind her in a 10. In a way, it is driving me crazy that Winn won't get the hand-me-downs anymore, but I've decided to just buy 1 wardrobe from now on and they can trade back and forth.
Following the fun festivities, we hurried home to start Easter dinner. You know, because we hadn't stuffed our faces in over an hour. Plus, we had to get home to welcome Papa to Oklahoma. He finally made the long drive; the kids were waiting by the door.
Kolby made his famous brine turkey with all the delicious sides and we celebrated Thanksgiving-style.
I asked June to pitch in and make some stuffed celery. She seemed excited to do part of the cooking, but here's the face I got when I begged for a smile:
Only 6, and already rolling her eyes at chores. No wonder Winnie prayed all on her own for June to "lose the attitude."
Looks like the long drive and turkey dinner may have been too much for little Papa. He had to take a nap to recover. He's probably going to be needing a few more of these now that he's surrounded by busy grand kids with big plans for fun in the sun!

Two things...well 3 actually. #1-French toast is my all time favorite breakfast food. I may have to take a break and go fry me up a "Snack". #2- Arlee is jealous that your easter bunny brings cooler gifts than hers. (thanks a lot Bunny Man) #3- I laughed out loud when I read that Winnie prays for June to "lose the attitude" - sounds like our house. :-)

Sofie is going to be sooo jelouse of those dragon outfits. She has been unresposive to me unless I call her toothless since the day we went to the movie. She is going to die when she see's Winnies cape.
I love that June, no matter the attitude. I'm sure she'll sleep it off. And how sensitive of Winn to notice.
