An Egg-cellent Sunday

Easter Sunday was hardly in traditional mode this year.  The Easter Bunny brought Bailey an Easter bicycle, we went to a baseball game and got a rabbit, went to Grandma and Grandpa's long enough to hunt for money, and then somehow, some way, we ended up at Chuck E. Cheese for Easter dinner in the form of gross pizza.  We're not sure how it all happened, but it was memorable nonetheless.  We were frozen little spring chicks at the game, but Sluggerr was far worth the wait (considering she wouldn't have let us leave until she saw him).  Our seats would have been fantastic on any other day, but when it's cold, the shade is even colder, so we chose to stand out in the sun near the Little K. 

Grandma and Grandpa's house wasn't as bitter cold since they lacked the wind, so they hid some eggs outside for Bailey, which she enjoyed fetching immensely.  She napped on the way back to Kansas and woke up a little disoriented.  Things we were expecting to be opened were indeed closed, and then we ended up at Chuck E. Cheese for some unknown reason.  Bailey had a marvelous time though and watching her dance around was worth the nasty overpriced pizza any day.  Well, not any day, because I honestly couldn't eat that grease on crust every day.

After our busy day, Bailey was unable to enter the house until she visited Kaitlin in the backyard and gave her one of her Easter treats.  (We'd found rawhide flowers at Target.)  When she finally did decide to come inside she discovered that the Easter Bunny had hidden some eggs in our living room while we were out.  The eggs had various things inside including chocolate coins, real coins, a dollar, stickers, and Reese's miniature peanut butter cups.  When she found each egg, she had to open them up immediately with the same amount of enthusiasm and vigor as the one previous to it before moving on to another find.  Who knew plastic eggs could be so delightful?

 

So maybe your Easter ham tasted better than our pizza, and maybe you weren't freezing like we did, but we had a lot of fun regardless.  I wonder what traditions we'll break next year...
