Easter Weekend

Grandma and Grandpa Ward were still visiting for Easter weekend.  Uncle Ian flew into Manchester late Thursday night to join Grandpa and Jared in Montreal at Uncle Alex's Bachelor Party. The details of their weekend will not be discussed. All I know is they made it back on Sunday bleary eyed and tight-lipped.

While the boys were away, Grandma, Clara, Charlie, and I dyed Easter eggs on Saturday to get ready for the Easter Bunny. 

  

Clara used stickers, pipe cleaners, and fuzzy hair to make the eggs look like monsters.

 

Before bed, Clara hid both her Easter basket and Charlie's Easter basket.  Her first choice of hiding spots wasn't very challenging.

At the last minute, she changed her mind and moved the baskets from the middle of the floor to the wood box.

The Easter Bunny came, found and filled the Easter baskets, and hid them in a new spot.  Clara searched and searched for her basket.

She found it in the shower.

The Easter Bunny brought her lots of goodies, including a new princess dress and shoes, candy, a puzzle, and a book.  I think the princess shoes were the biggest hit.

Then Charlie woke up and Clara helped him search for his Easter basket.

He found it in the Ottoman.  The Easter Bunny brought him some onsies, a book, a puzzle, and some candy.

Grandpa, Jared, and Uncle Ian made it home in time for Easter dinner before Uncle Ian had to fly home.  We had a nice meal, then everyone took a nap.  Except Charlie.  So, Charlie and I had some nice one-on-one time in his bedroom.  It was a great weekend.
