Happy Easter!

Saturday Chris and I took the kids to get their Easter Pictures done. They were really quite good and fairly cooperative. Raleigh is getting so much better at posing and not running all over the place. I'm not sad to see that phase end - it was a real battle to get good pictures! Here are the ones we chose:

Easter was a big hit this year! Last year Raleigh didn't really "get it"...I mean, getting stuff is always fun, but she didn't understand the whole Easter Bunny thing. This year, she gets it!

The Easter Bunny was quite generous to Raleigh - he brought her a new talking Rocket with all the Little Einsteins in it, two new princesses (Snow White and Belle), plus a lot of candy , and some stickers! He left a trail of eggs for Raleigh to follow to find her basket.

The Easter Bunny also left little man a basket, mostly just so Raleigh didn't think baby brother got left out!

Raleigh got super excited and very sidetracked, and had an accident in her big girl panties. So we put on some play clothes and headed outside even though it was kind of overcast! Raleigh ran around (lots of energy from all the candy!) and around, and around...and did bubbles and sidewalk chalk.
We wrapped up the evening with dinner at grammy's house. Grammy and Grandpa hid eggs for Raleigh to find, which was FUN!! And she got a big easter basket from them and one from Great Mimi and Great Papa. It was like Christmas all over, lots of toys! Aiden also got goodies...but he was far less enthusiastic about the whole thing!

Raleigh first off refused to eat anything but applesauce. We are having a REALLY hard time getting her to try things! She basically hates meat for some reason, and refuses to try anything new. Well, eventually she wanted the candy in her easter eggs SO bad she said " Fine, I'll eat some ham" HA! And, she LOVED IT! Today she even tried a little bit of Roast Beef! Anyhow, it was a nice way to end our Easter!
