We had a wonderful morning and hope that you did also. The egg hunt and basket finding was a hit. They received a few small toys, new pajamas, and some candy. It was such a treat for them to get to eat candy before breakfast! Olivia's was almost gone (she and Braeden received a little more than the other two!) by the time I looked to see what she had. :)

As they played with their toys, Braeden could care less about the travel Lite Brite right now that I thought would be such a hit, I made breakfast of sausage patties, scrambled eggs, and cinnamon sugar toast. I think once Braeden sees and understands the Lite Brite he will love it. :)

We had a leisurely morning and the kids did great. We were up and going just before 7 and didn't have to leave for church until 10. I am pretty sure Olivia was up most of the night waiting for the Easter Bunny, as she usually is on days like this. Unfortunately her body doesn't handle sleep deprivation well at all and we had a major meltdown as we were getting ready to go and trying to take a few pics of the dressed up crew. We barely made it to the 10:30 service. We did get a few pics and then I got a great one of Olivia and Braeden after we returned home. She enjoyed church and put things back into perspective and was a "new kid" again. :) She did go down for a nap and is hopefully snoozing away as we speak.

All in all a beautful and blessed morning. We are still looking forward to a dinner of ham and sweet potato casserole this evening! :)

Here are the kids with their now full baskets...
