A VERY HAPPY EASTER WITH COUSINS & SCOOTERS!

First of all, Happy belated Easter to everybody! Here are some of the things we did last weekend:

We had two of the cousins over for a sleepover and the next day after lunch decided to take the kids for a drive. This allowed their mom & dad a well deserved 'break' as well as gave the kids (all four) time to have a nap in the car. Although, it was a very sunny day and we did drive to the beach the water would've been still too cold to swim in, plus everyone under the age of eight was fast asleep in the back of our van. On the way back from the beach, all of the kids started waking up so we took them all to see Jumbo the Elephant statue. Jumbo the Elephant was actually a real elephant that was killed by an on coming train over 100 years ago in St. Thomas, Ontario. This statue has become a regular stop for all visitors to our house.

Photographers note: The girl on the left in the green dress is not a family member but decided that our girls and the cousins were now her best friends.



The kids having lunch (hot dogs) and watching a movie.



Everyone had a chance to play outside in our backyard.



We all went for a walk around the block the evening of the sleepover.


Everyone IS happy! At least I think they ALL are happy, right Hannah??



EASTER MORNING: 2011

Without a gate blocking their way, the girls have to be very patient and wait before they can come downstairs.


Before opening their Easter baskets, we all went on an egg hunt. The Silly Billy Easter Bunny even hid chocolates ABOVE all the windows!! He must have hopped all the way up there!!


For any of you who have not seen the movie 'Hop' yet, I won't tell you how the Easter Bunny makes all of those Easter chocolate eggs!! Caitlyn or Hannah would be very eager to tell anybody who asked them though. They think it's hilarious!




The girls both got scooters, knee & elbow pads and gloves for Easter.

Hannah got a new helmet as well.



HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYBODY!

What a fun Easter you had. The girls looked so happy looking for their easter eggs. Good for you to get them all the proper equipment to go along with the scooters! Job well done!
