Easter 2014

These kids

 

They are my favorite little people ever. 

I broke my nearly five-year streak of avoiding holiday mall characters. Hannah asked to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap. So I let her. It was fine, I guess. We had a mommy-daughter date at her favorite place ever, the mall (what?!). And apparently one of her friends sat on the Easter Bunny's lap and told her about it at preschool so when she saw him and was like, he has glasses just like (whoever that bad influence friend was) said! She was so excited, so who was I to stand in her way?

And then the hunt.

 so cute.

even this guy is cute sometimes :)

My parents were awesome, they got the eggs and went out of their way to fill them with lots of non-candy goodness (like Disney princess toys, bouncy balls, and lots of other stuff our new puppy wants to chew on really badly). Except Hannah was disappointed because she wanted cherry chapstick and not blueberry chapstick (the indignities!) my mom was pretty sweet about it (I would have been like, you take that blueberry chapstick and you will like it! you hear me!? You tell that Easter Bunny thank you, right this second!) and she helped Hannah write this letter to the Easter Bunny, who quickly rectified the situation. And I might have taken the blueberry chapstick for myself (it smells delicious). Kids these days. There a bunch of softies. They are never gonna learn that when the Easter Bunny gives you blueberry chapstick, you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and walk up hill both ways in the snow and make blueberry chapstick lemonade or something. But she did draw the Easter Bunny a couple hearts. So I guess it is okay.
