Easter weekend is a long one {yay!} and that means this is going to be a long post... with lots of photos! Ready for it?
Dying eggs
Being careful to leave them in a good long while to really soak up the colour
Result!
Tulips in the front garden
Walking at the lake
Blue sky + blue water = happy me
We brought a picnic. I love a picnic, don't you?
Trekking through the woods
Kelly, my beloved friend and old neighbour, was in town! Hurrah!
Lots of laughs
I wish she'd never moved away. We have so much fun
Easter Eve at our house... look at my paint-chip Easter egg garland! I am ridiculously proud of how well it turned out
The Easter bunny came in the wee hours
And we got up a few hours later
He hid eggs all over the garden, even on top of the ladder!
We filled our baskets
More than once...
Skyping with Nanny, Sawyer rocks the handlebar moustache
At Auntie Pat's with all the cousins for more Easter fun
Easter baskets were hidden all over the house. Dylan heads upstairs to find his in the bathtub!
The bunny hid eggs in the backyard at Auntie Pat's too
Dylan was pulling his load around in a wagon!
"Mum, I am so 'cited about Easter! I just love it."
It was a fabulous weekend. We had lots of sunshine and warm weather. Went for green tea lemonade, got takeout curry, ate hot cross buns for breakfast. Spent time with family. Rode bikes and took long walks and had dinner with some dear old friends. Played at the park and played ball in the front yard. Slept in. Worked in the garden, planted new flowers, and cut some to bring inside and pretty up the table. Watched the brand new Doctor Who Easter special, and was properly creeped out by the aliens {but loved it nonetheless!} Decorated for Easter, coloured eggs, had a hard time falling asleep, knowing that the bunny was coming. Revelled in the fun of many, many egg hunts. Rosy cheeks and smiling faces.
I love a holiday weekend. The joy of traditions and celebrating with the ones you love. Couldn't ask for more than that really...
