Happy Easter!

Easter began for us during our last visit to Buckeye, where Mimi bought some easter eggs so Ry could practice hunting. All it took was one crack of the egg to realize candy lives inside, and she was hooked. As soon as I saw her eyes light up I knew Easter was going to be a ton of fun this year.

We kicked off the weekend by attending an Easter event at our gym. They had a bounce house, clowns, and, of course, the Easter bunny! When the bunny first walked in, Ryann was very interested and even walked up to check him out. 

But it didn't take long for her curiosity to turn into uncertainty:

Then came the "save me, daddy!" face:

But lucky for us, the clowns were super friendly, so she took to them a little better.

still a little unsure

oh, they make balloons! sold! 

But that scary bunny kept walking around so we didn't stay much longer. Plus, the event was from 1-3pm (NAPTIME!) so we had to get Ryann and Daddy home for their daily snooze.


Later that evening we dyed easter eggs for the first time. Ry loved it! Her favorite part was licking and blowing on the finished eggs to make sure they were dry. (They weren't - she just doesn't seem to mind vinegar water).

But soon it was time for bed. Although we all had so much fun dying eggs we had to get to sleep so the Easter bunny could come visit! And what a great Easter morning it was. Ry loved looking through her basket full of treats, books and a stuffed animal lamb, and she set some records finding all the hidden eggs around the house.

After eating candy for breakfast (hooray!) we got dressed and left for Fort Collins where we spent the rest of the day playing with Porter and Mason, and friends Cam, Christie, and Connor. Look at the peanut all dressed up. She's such a ham.

By the end of the day Ryann had become an egg-hunting pro. 

We had such a great weekend. 


I'll leave you with the following video, which was taken after the candy sugar high kicked in. Mason was jumping around with Ry's bunny ears on and she thought it was the funniest thing in the world.


We hope you had a great holiday with your friends and family! xoxo
