Easter Weekend

We started our Easter weekend celebration a few days early with some Easter treat baking. We made Easter egg rice crispy treats which Brayden was not a big fan of so Ian ended up taking most of them to work with him. We made the rice crispy treats, placed them in plastic eggs to get the formation, and then dipped them in chocolate and decorated them with sprinkles!

We attempted an Easter Egg hunt this year and it was a complete failure. The hunt started at 5:15 and we arrived at about 5:18 and were too late for the hunt and there was not an egg left. Most of the people were actually leaving the park. We heard that it was a complete chaos and was mostly just hundreds of kids all running and grabbing eggs. I think Brayden would have been a little overwhelmed by that and probably would have gotten scared and not participated anyway so I'm kinds glad we dodged the chaos!
Although I had talked about hunting for Easter eggs all day that he was a little bummed when he didn't get a chance too. Luckily he got a few lollipops put into his basket.

Meeting the Easter Bunny though was complete success. Ever since we took Brayden to Disney World to meet Mickey and Friends he hasn't had any fear of characters. He was excited to see the Easter Bunny and went right up to him to give him a hug. He wanted to spend more time talking to the Easter Bunny but there were lots of kids in line that were patiently waiting there turn.

Coloring eggs was a complete success too and not as messy as I had anticipated Brayden making it. Even though he wanted to drop the eggs in the coloring bowls a little harder than need be. Bransen enjoyed watching his big brother color eggs! Next year he'll be able to join in on the fun too!

Easter Sunday our house was visited by the Easter Bunny and in full effect waiting for Brayden to arrive. The Easter Bunny dropped off baskets for both Brayden and Bransen and his eggs and toys all throughout the yard. (Mommy and Daddy had fun!) Brayden was fast at collecting all the eggs in the yard and finding a sword, matchbox cars, an Easter bunny cookie and special eggs filled with money! I think the eggs he loved the most were the ones filled with chocolate. That's a real treat for him!

And as a polish tradition we had a light lunch of eggs and kielbasa and a yummy dinner to end the day of ham, potatoes, beans and carrots. And unfortunately my homemade carrot cake didn't turn out  so good because I accidentally put it in a smaller pan that it needed to be in!
