The Easter Bunny came to the Briggs house!
I did something creative this year for Alexa since she is really into pirates right now (she loves the new show on the Disney channel called Jake and the Neverland Pirates). When she woke up from her nap, Matthew and I told her that while she was sleeping, the Easter Bunny came back to our house with a special treasure map for her. The map contained clues that would help her find her Easter eggs. The Easter Bunny also left her an eye patch! She loved it! She was so excited and she even told me that when she was waking up in her bed, she thought that she heard the Easter Bunny talking downstairs and she was right!
She unrolled her map and studied it for a bit. The she immediately went to find the first clue: our wagon.
She found the first egg! She was happy that there were M&M's inside of it.
Looking out the front door for clue #5: our mailbox.
She found all the eggs. The last clue was for the grand pirate treasure chest. She found it right away under the slide of her clubhouse in the backyard. She couldn't wait to bring it in the house and open it up.
Some gold coins! She's calling them her Gold Doubloons (from the cartoon show).
Then she had even more fun painting and decorating her treasure chest.
When it dries, we'll put it on her dresser and she can use it as a jewelry box for all of her earrings.
I couldn't resist dressing him up as a spring chick today!
Alexa hid some eggs for Gavin. He also loved wearing the pirate eye patch. I was surprised that they both liked the patches. I didn't think that they would leave them on for long but they actually wore them for about an hour. (I hope that's not bad for their vision?)
Gavin's devouring his M&M's.
My little pirates
Gavin loved the special sports ball Easter eggs.
They soon got tired of finding eggs and just wanted me to dump the eggs over them. They thought that was so funny.
Later on Sunday night, I filled up Alexa's water gun and we crept around the corner to the office while Daddy was working on the computer. We surprised him by squirting him in the neck. Next thing I know, he had filled up Gavin's water gun and there was a major water fight going on in our house. Even Gabbi was getting soaked! Alexa and Gavin got the wettest, probably because I was using Alexa as my shield and Matt was doing the same with Gavin to block the incoming water. They loved it and we all had a blast!
Baby Tysen's first Easter
Gavin and Alexa helped dye eggs.
Happy Easter to all of our friends and family!
