Hoppy Easter!

I'm not sure any other child has ever loved the Easter Bunny as much as miss Mikenna.
I promised myself I would never force my kids to it on any laps... Santa, Easter Bunny... nope.
While we were walking past the Easter Bunny at the mall one day Mikenna got extremely excited.
I asked her if she wanted to sit on his lap and she furiously shook her head "yes!"
The look on her face when she was sitting next to that bunny was hilarious.
She loved him, we had to pry her fingers off of his, literally.
All the people working at the little bunny kiosk were laughing. Have you ever seen a child cry to LEAVE the bunny? Me either.
After this happened I got really excited for Easter day!
We decided that we would do somewhat big presents for Easter,  since she has such a long break between Christmas and her birthday.
The Easter Bunny brought Mikenna a folding slide for inside and outside, and a basket with some candy, a bunny, and her first Barbie!
Ryan and I were so excited to see her face in the morning we could hardly sleep!
She came downstairs saying, "Side?" Siiiiiide?!" and quickly hopped up and discovered the fruit snacks the bunny had left for her.
Even "baby" got turns on the slide.

Mikenna quickly caught on to our little egg hunt we had set up...
She loves anything that includes sorting and putting things into baskets, so I figured she would have fun.
Once she discovered that most of the eggs had "N-M's" (M&M's) in them, she started really hunting.
That's my girl!

After our fun morning we got ready and headed out to Grandma and Grandpa's house for another egg hunt and a yummy dinner.
As soon as she got hold of that basket she was saying, "Eggs, eggs? Pease!"
We had to help her stay focused, but she found quite a few eggs on her own! :)

We spent the rest of the day relaxing and spending time with family.
We are lucky enough to have lots of babies and kids around.
It's so fun watching the little cousins grow and play together!
Cutest little blondies ever.

Holidays have a whole new meaning with a little one around, I love it.
It's like being a kid and being excited all over again.
Hoppy Easter everyone!
