Bunny Ears Eating Bunny Cake

Ben and I had been so busy with school, work, rehearsals, and gigs that we hadn't nailed down the Easter meal.

I was so relieved when Elissa said that she was going to bring her own food (she's been following a special eating plan) and that Ian would love hot dogs. Dex loves hot dogs!

That left Ben and me so I just got a bunch of frozen appetizers for us to munch on.

I was thankful to enjoy a no judgment and no guilt zone with close friends on Easter. No Easter meal but, thanks to Elissa and Ian, delicious Bunny Cake!!!

Role Reversal

After Dex and Ian did their egg hunt, they decided to hide the eggs again for the parents. We had fun searching! Ian found some great hiding spots for the eggs.

Dex took an interest tack with his egg-hiding strategy - it seemed to be based more on aesthetically showcasing the eggs than strategically hiding the eggs from view.

Another Dexter "hide".

Emptying Eggs of Their Goodies

Ian and Dexter emptied out their eggs and surveyed their goodies. Despite the fact that the Easter Bunny was a little swamped this year and most eggs were filled with the same type of chocolate candy, the kids still enjoyed the potential for a surprise in an egg.

Outside Egg Hunt with Ian

Ian and Elissa came over in the afternoon to celebrate Easter with us. Ian and Dexy were very excited for the backyard Easter Egg Hunt.

They ran around the yard with their baskets, occasionally squealing with delight when they found one in an unexpected spot. My Bologna was super chill.

Thinking of Grandparents on Easter

After the Easter Egg Hunt, Dexy opened the Easter gifts sent to him by his grandparents.
Grandma and Grampy sent a very silly bunny with a motion sensor that says silly bathroom puns when somebody comes near.

 And a cuddly Peep!

 Dex could tell by the shape of the wrapping paper that Grandma and Gunker had sent things with wheels - two ATVs!

The row of found Easter Eggs became part of the ATV's racetrack on the coffee table (of course they did!).
