Our Easter morning started (ahem, at 6) with Grace and Jackson coming downstairs to find the "rucksacks" I had made for them. I worked so hard the few nights before Easter and was so excited for them to see them. They have been talking so much about the adventures they are going to have this summer around here trekking through the woods "by themselves"... I knew this would be the perfect bag for such an adventure.
And they did seem to be a pretty big hit, beginning with the Easter egg hunt as they used them to collect their eggs in.
After they found all the goodies that the Easter bunny had left, and after we had eaten a big pancake breakfast (we can't get enough of the syrup), we all went out to play in one of the nicest days we've had this spring. The rucksacks came too (so a few more pics of those)...
Before having lunch and going to the cities to see our families we ended our morning together with a nice walk. It was a really beautiful morning and so nice to have such a slow, gentle start to our day.
The rest of our day was really nice too, spent at my parent's house with both of our families and 12 chickens. Yes, we brought the chickens. Of course we brought the chickens. Who leaves their chickens home on Easter. Certainly not us. I don't have any pictures to show but there were 17 people, loads of sugar in all it's glory (and children who ate more sugar in one day then they had eaten in a whole year) and 12 chickens. Whatever you're picturing in your head is probably about accurate.
It was a good Easter.
