Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came very early at the Burer house! In front of each kids' bedroom door, the Bunny left a basket filled with coloring books, sidewalk chalk, chocolate bunny, and a special toy.

Before they could enjoy the treats they just got, someone noticed that the Easter Bunny left a trail of Easter eggs! It led them down the stairs, through the foyer, and into the living room where we suspect it hopped out the window since there were a lot of eggs left behind there!

The kids had a great time collecting all of the eggs around the house (even on in the sink!...guess the Bunny got his hands sticky from candy).

They quickly counted and then opened their eggs. Chocolate, jelly beans, and robin eggs filled our kitchen!

I found it interesting that of all three, Elaine was most orderly with her egg counting. It says a lot about her character!

With some quick wardrobe changes, pantyhose shimmies, and hair brushing, we made it to the 8am mass. It was a great experience especially since the kids behaved pretty well considering how early they got up! After mass, we came home to find our magnolia tree blooming with beautiful fragrant flowers.
Hoping to start a tradition, we tried getting pictures of the kids in their Easter attire.
Take 1...Natalie gave us a quirky smile.

Take 2...kids are about to attach the photographer!

Take 3...Focus, kids! Focus!

Take 4...Kids, look at the camera with a smile and you'll get a treat from your basket!

Finally, a decent picture! :) Bribery works in the hardest of times.

And one more with a very cooperative little girl!
