Easter with a trick!!

So the day started with an Easter egg hunt. The kids were so excited that the Easter bunny came to visit our house. Avery wanted to know how big he was and had many questions about him/her. It is so fun to see the kids excitement.....I remember those days so well and now get to live them through my own children. I thought I would have some fun this year with the kids and play a little joke on them.........description below.....It is still April after all(the month of joking)!!



Can you believe it....the Easter bunny left a trail of bunny droppings on our kitchen floor. At last we have evidence that the Easter bunny came into our house. You should have seen the kids faces. I told them to get a closer look and with hesitation they scoped it out.




So I am the off spring of my mother and had to take it a little further by taking a bite of one the bunny droppings. I thought Thomas was going to die. He yelled, "mom that is not good for your body."(covering his face in disgust) His face is forever engraved in my head and I am still laughing about it. I quickly told them it was "coconut no bake cookies" and gave them one to eat. Avery was all about it but it took Thomas some coaxing to eat one. When he did he said they were really good. So much fun! Mom you would be proud. I know you would have laughed your head off at the kids reactions!

We had a lot of fun today but I can't wait to start some new traditions tomorrow as we celebrate the true meaning of Easter and talk with the kids about why we celebrate Easter and teach them about the life of our Savior Jesus Christ and that he lives!!

Happy Easter!!!
