So, on Saturday, I wanted to get out and run some errands and attempt to take G to see the Easter bunny. She thought he was really cool while we were standing in line, and she had finally told me she was excited to see him, but as soon as it was her turn to see him and take her picture- she bailed. We bribed her, or at least tried to, and that didn't work either. So, while we did see the Easter bunny, I have no picture and I didn't have to waist $25.00 purchasing a picture.
I did take her that afternoon to a local farm store to visit the baby chicks:
and to see real bunnies! She thought they were adorable and wanted to take one home with her. I explained that she would need to convince her grandpa to buy her some to keep at his house!
After dinner, we baked an Easter cake. G decided she wanted a strawberry cake, probably because it's pink, and green icing. We 'hid' egg candies on the top of the cake.
I was shocked at how well G went to bed on Saturday evening. Maybe it was because she skipped her nap, or maybe it was because the Easter bunny couldn't come until she was asleep. I told DJ that the Easter bunny should come every night!
G's basket was filled with books, bunny shaped chalk, carrot bubbles, orange jelly beans, Tangled movie, and a Rapunzzel doll. She also had a few eggs scattered about. Inside the smaller ones were nickles, dimes, and quarters, and a dollar bill, and in the two larger ones she had egg shaped whoppers.
I think she was most excited about getting Tangled!
We headed off to church, where G told me that she learned that God and Jesus died and died and died, and then arose, arose, arose, and then some bad girl came along~ at least she got some of the story right! Once we got home, G kept saying that she died and arose, or that her Rapunzzel doll died and arose!
We had our own egg hunt after lunch. We didn't dye eggs this year because the weather was suppose to be rainy all weekend, and with selling the house, I didn't want to risk hiding dyed eggs in the house & not finding all of them!

Plus, the resurrection eggs allowed us to read the Resurrection story!
We spent the rest of the day watching movies and enjoying each other. This was our last weekend with just the two of us, and I'm glad we were able to enjoy it!
