Hop

Since Jody's gang was here for Easter, the Easter bunny had a lot of baskets and treats to bring here. To get prepped for the holiday, we got the movie Hop to watch. Dylan likes to watch movies on a continuous loop. Once he watches a new one that he likes, we get to watch it non stop for weeks. Luckily, I think he's finally moved on from Hop. It's a cute movie but I would be happy not having to watch it again until next Easter. Oh, but one of the things he took from the movie and has incorporated into play is that the Easter bunny poops out not poop but jelly beans. Now all of Dylan's toys like to poop jellybeans. Joy.

On Easter morning, the adults had a little scrambling to do since the 2 Easter bunnies in charge of the candy at our house had a little miscommunication and there was no chocolate to stuff in little plastic eggs. What's Easter without chocolate?!?! (Though, thanks to an apparent active Easter bunny diet, we had plenty of jelly beans.) So the tall, red headed Easter bunny made a last minute run to the store while the 3 Easter bunnies left behind starting assembling Easter baskets and stuffing eggs to hide in the yard. Of course, the kids were non the wiser to the chaos so it worked out fine.

With the little boys still in their pj's, we showed the kids to the baskets and there was much excitement. Well, Reece is 15 so his excitement was kept all internal but I'm sure it was there.

Baskets all in a row.

With Easter baskets emptied, it was time to go fill them with hunted eggs. Funny thing. I thought we had about a million eggs. The downside of having a big yard is that those eggs seemed like nothing once dispersed around. Dylan and Ryker did a great job of finding eggs and Reece and Presley did a great job helping the little boys and then cleaning up what the little ones didn't find.

It was really fun to have such a big group involved. It made a fun activity larger in scope which just made it better. With all the kids stuffing themselves with candy and leaving no room for real food, it was time to get the gang ready and start prepping food. We were to host the whole family for the holiday!
