HAPPY EASTER!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
We had a fun filled day!!!
Cian woke up early, of course, he was SO excited!!! He got a peek at his basket, & had to bring us about 3 different things to show us that the Easter Bunny brought him, within about 5 minutes, before we gave in & got out of bed. Of course he also got the advantage of scoping out the "hidden" eggs before his sister got up
Shaylinn is not an early riser AT ALL!! Matter of fact, more often then not, she will tell me "GO MOMMY!!! I SEEPING..." as she points to the door, then covers herself back up & pretends to sleep, snore sounds and all....LOL
We knew it was going to be a challenge getting her out of bed before 9am....LOL...not to mention I was fearful that she was going to let us know all morning that she wasn't happy about getting up so early, regardless of what the reason was....
She didn't let us down...she was NOT happy that her room was being invaded with wild excitement, before her eyes were meant to open. She couldn't even think fast enough to tell us to "GO" LOL...she just gave us her "mean mug" as the sleep film faded from her eyes & the hair on the back of her neck went back to normal...LOL Sadly, I didn't have my camera to capture it, Cian just couldn't contain himself any longer....DANG IT!!! LOL
We did have a fun morning hunting for all the eggs, & playing with the inside toys the Easter Bunny left for us, of course Cian & Shaylinn had the breakfast of CHAMPIONS.....Mini M&M's. I think it helped Shaylinn wake up a little....hahaha...& they made Cian slow down enough to eat them, so he wouldn't spill any....lol....it worked HAHAHA
It was a little chilly for us here, well, since Friday & Saturday were such Beautiful Spring days with LOWS in the upper 60's & highs in the mid 70's. Not so for Easter....the morning was in the mid 30's, however, the afternoon did warm up to the mid 50's so we were able to enjoy an Easter Egg Hunt outside. They each got kites & bubbles from the Easter Bunny, & I can't wait to get them out to play!!!
Here are a few pictures from our "HUNT"
A little slide time never hurt...of course scoping things out on the way down...LOL
LOL....I LOVE how she was looking for her next find...& missing the egg with her hand!!! LOL.....DETERMINATION!!!
A sweet little kiss....Cian was so happy for her that she got the LAST egg!!!
I LOVE that they are so affectionate with one another & they get SO EXCITED for each other!!! Well MOST of the time....LOL
I AM TRULY BLESSED!!!
LOVE THEM!!!
Here is a little detail shot that I love to get every year.
This one, just happens to have the contents of their baskets behind it...LOL
I love Easter!!!
Much Love & Many Blessings,
