Easter

With both kids sick, we decided to stay home instead of going in to Lethbridge for the family Easter egg hunt that my sister-in-law (Nysha) was putting on.  I had counted on being there, so I hadn't bought a lot of extra stuff for Easter.  I ended up going out last night and scrounging around the stores to get the last little bit of Easter candy.  I made up a bunch of eggs and 'hid' them (in plain sight) around the living room so they could do a bit of a hunt. 

I think the best part of the whole morning was the baskets the kids got from Emma's birthparents!  They were more than a little excited to get them opened and see what was in them.  They got thoroughly spoiled!  (Thanks B & T!)

Emma started to lay out each item from the backet, until she noticed that there were eggs around the room and then she took a break to see how many she could find before Ben clued in!

Ben had Grandpa Nichols help him get his basket opened and promptly dumped the contents! 

I love the bunny ears that came in the basket!  Daddy helped her put them on and amazingly she wore them for quite a while!

They definitely had a lot of fun (even being sick).  This was the carnage after they'd found all the eggs and emptied the Easter baskets!  They've definitely got enough chocolate to last them a while!

The rest of the day we were able to relax and play with the kids.  We didn't get much accomplished, as both kids wanted to be held, but it was okay.  My father-in-law went in to Lethbridge after the Easter egg 'hunt' and bought us a lamb roast for dinner - yum!  It turned out so nice and tender!
