Hoppy Hoppy Easter!

This Easter was really fun because Brea was starting to understand the concept of the Easter bunny coming to visit. We kept letting her know that he would bring her something special and I loved seeing her face when she walked into the family room that morning! She was so excited & I was glad that Andrew wasn't bummed that his basket was half the size of Brea's! P.S. I've discovered that the cellophane wrap is just a total pain in the butt! 1 a.m. Sunday I'm trying to get everything finished up for my parents coming the next morning and I'm wrapping these baskets in the dang stuff thinking "WHY did I think this was a good idea?" It made it look so weird... I was like "WHY am I trying to make this homemade basket look like the pre-made baskets at Wal-Mart? If that's what I wanted it to end up looking that way I just should have bought one!" And the next morning my thoughts were confirmed when Brea was just trying to get past all of it to the good stuff! By the way... the good stuff was not the book about what Easter is really about, the fun egg shaped sidewalk chalk, or even the Pinocchio movie.... it was the dang treats! She was literally hyperventilating and when asked what she got for Easter she'd scream at the top of her lungs "TREATS!!!"

Those treats were all Brea could think about all day, and the next day, and the next... until she woke up one morning and those treats had magically disappeared. She apparently has no middle ground when it comes to treats. It's 40 a day (which resulted in 40 tantrums in the same day) or none. I have to be super sneaky now and just pull one out of no where and then they have to be "all gone" because if she knows there are still some SOMEWHERE she'll act as though it is literally the end of the world. Love our little drama girl.

After the having a great morning with my family- making breakfast (which I felt horrible about when the cute little fast-offering collecting Deacon stopped by our house- I swear I had totally forgotten it was fast Sunday!) and an Easter egg hunt that took a while since after each egg was collected we had to explain that the treat inside was for later. We headed off to church, treats in hand. After church and a nice nap for Brea we headed to the Butler's for dinner.Brea loves her Grandpa Butler!

Another thing Brea couldn't get enough of was Grandma & Grandpa Cummings trampoline. Sweet Ashleigh helped Brea out on the tramp since Brea kept begging me and I really did try it out but I quickly hopped off when I felt as though I was about to bring my August baby into the world in April.

I love getting together with all our family like this. Brea's older cousins, Ian and Mason, are SO cute with her. I love watching them interact. A day full of seeing family is definitely my favorite part of any holiday.
