Easter

T's first Easter we were moving to Florida, and last year we were in Texas over Easter, so this was our first year to really 'do' Easter with the girls. One of these years we might even dye some eggs. The girls were thrilled with their little baskets. We didn't want to make things too much about the Easter Bunny so we kept their baskets pretty low key, just a chocolate bunny and a few eggs.

Nora was the first to spot them:

I found some little plastic dinosaurs at Wal-mart to put in their eggs, and they were a huge hit. Both girls liked them, but Nora has been playing with them non-stop all week. She'll run them along the couch or the coffee table saying "rawrrr, rawrrr", it's so cute.

We did a little egg hunt with a few of their friends, too. Our community egg hunt was last weekend, and it was soooooo lame. They had a few larger eggs with a small bunny toy in them, but the majority of the eggs were totally empty. Poor T was super excited to open her eggs, and then would get so disappointed as egg after egg turned out to be empty.

So, having been burned once before, she would carefully shake each egg before putting it in her basket, to make sure there was actually something in it. Even though I told her several times that none of the eggs at this hunt would be empty, she still had to verify it herself.

Waiting for the go ahead:

And they're off:

Nora was a little confused at first, as seen above, and would put the eggs in what ever basket was closest, regardless of whether or not it was hers. She figured it out, though.

Nora didn't bother with removing wrappers before digging in:

Nora's little bff was there too, they are so cute when they interact, Nora gets so excited when we see her:

Sorry for all the pictures, but Nora just kept being so cute, I loved the way she was carrying her basket around:

T was super pleased with this ring she found in one of her eggs:

T ditched the egg collecting near the end and she and Mina practiced some t-ball skills. She figured the whole thing out on her own, I was pretty surprised when she picked up that ball and placed it on the tee to hit it. I'm so excited to get her into these little sports teams, we are hoping to find a t-ball or soccer team for her this summer, so far all the ones I've found require them to be three by May 1st :(.
