The Easter Bunny Hops Down the Lane

Welcome to Easter at Charlotte and Max' house, where we had Grandma JuJu in attendance, if only for that morning.  It got off to a bang, as you can see below.  Even before breakfast, Charlotte had already gone through her Easter basket (note the bunny ears in her hair).

After eating breakfast and getting dressed, Max and Charlotte were ready for their first Easter egg hunt of the day!

Max took his time opening the eggs he found; it reminded me of Christmas morning, when he took forever to open his presents because he spent so much time investigating each new gift.

This, of course, gave Charlotte plenty of time to hunt for eggs on her own.

And whereas Max strongly prefers casual dress (hmm ... I wonder where he gets that?),  Charlotte is all too ready to dress up for a special occasion.  Above she sports a dress given her by Grandma Cheryl.

Max proudly shows off his Easter basket, not even noticing that just behind him Charlotte has found the golden Easter egg!

After dropping Grandma JuJu at the airport so that she could return to Chico, California, we went to a delightful party hosted by our friends Matt and Debbie!  Max and Charlotte dyed Easter eggs -- not to mention their hands -- for the first time ...

... and enjoyed one more Easter egg hunt!  (Note the Easter egg dye-stained hands.)

I have to say that it was a pretty great day.  And we're looking forward to a lovely spring, as, I hope, are you!
