We all had a great Easter this year, despite the rainy and cool weather. Saturday, we went to Bass Pro to visit the Easter Bunny and an indoor egg hunt. The line was crazy long and there was no way little mister wiggles would wait for a half hour, so daddy had to wait while Kieran and I ran around the store, hiding in the clothing racks and picking up things to put in Kieran's bucket. When we got to the front of the line, and Kieran saw the Easter Bunny he was pretty excited- laughing and pointing and smiling. But when it was our turn and I set Kieran down to go see the giant white rabbit, he wasn't so sure after all. I ended up having to sit Kieran on my lap for the photo opp- I am sure you can see Kieran's reservation in the pic! The egg hunt was a much bigger success- Kieran figured out the premise of finding the eggs pretty quickly and soon had five eggs in his bucket!
After our Easter Eggstravaganza at Bass Pro we went to El Jimador for lunch and then to Bethel Park to enjoy the few hours of sunshine. Kieran loved playing in the sand, going down the slides and exploring the pond's shores. He got very dirty and by the end very sleepy and so we took a nap-drive and mommy and Kieran slept while daddy drove.
The next day was Easter Sunday and we hosted a brunch at our house for my parents, Sandy and my sister Shannon. I served quiche, fruit, ham and bacon and Sandy brought another quiche, biscuits and gravy, a yummy pear tart and a great hash-brown casserole- so in other words there was more than enough to go around! We ate ourselves silly and then Kieran got to open his Easter Basket. His favorite was a giant peep on a stick- still working on that one!
Searching for eggs- Kieran was convinced there should be an egg hidden here but alas there was not ;)
Four eggs and counting

Playing with the dancing Easter Monkey- thanks auntie Joyce!
"Hello Mr. Monkey- how are you?"
This was Kieran's favorite Easter treat- a giant yellow peep like chick on a stick- he still hasn't finished this thing yet!
He just wasn't sure what to do with the little bird at first- too cute to eat- almost!
