Easter takes on a full new meaning now that we have a little one. She had loads of fun on Thursday at her dayhome with an Easter party, cake and stuffed bunnies. Plus her bunny barrets that she loved to wear the whole weekend. So much so that every time we opened her "accessory" drawer she would pull them out and bend her head down so that I could put them on. Thanks Gam. They were a hit.
Alas I was working for the majority of it so it was a very eventful daddy/daughter weekend of fun. Swimming, visit to Granny and Granddad's, and music filled fun at the Mutant Conservatory. They seemed to have a blast! Then it was our family time together!
We fit in one evening at the Keg. Was it for Easter? Probably not but I had been talking about the Keg for a few months now and Mark suggested it so who was I to turn him down. Hello lobster tails and twice baked potato. I love you! And the little one? I was a little nervous as most of the restaurants we have gone to have involved quick delivery of food with a bit of appropriate toddler walking. She managed to sit and entertain herself with a few colouring pages to aid and a bit of playing of food for an hour and a half. Go chickita go! :)
An Easter egg hunt was also on the go to as the Bunny made an appearance. Little plastic eggs filled with raisons with a few gummy bunnies and jelly beans scattered amongst them. That Easter bunny was a bit frugal this year. I thought she would need assistance with knowing what to do but as I was making her breakfast she was right in the family room collecting the little plastic eggs and shaking them with glee. She loved opening them and eating the raisons. Then when she found the gummy bunnies and jelly beans the raisons became old news. So much so that when she found the raison ones after a gummy she would throw the egg on the floor and go to the next.
The Easter bunny didn't stop with just plastic eggs though. She was gifted with three smartie eggs and a kinder surprise. And being the ever patient girl she bit right into that tinfoil to get to the chocolate treat. Obviously loves her chocolate like her mom and dad. I took her to the Science Centre to run off some candy and she did just that.
We then had an Easter dinner that we brought to the grandparents place with Uncle "Jiggy" in tow. Roast beef, roasted potatoes, carrots, broccoli, salad and a fun dessert with lady fingers/bananas and pudding that involved two other families doing it and created a mess...a leaky milky delicious mess.
So what do I say at the end of these festivities. I had fun. I enjoyed dinner with family and the littles fun in the morning. What I don't enjoy is the massive sugar crazies that seem to be happening today as every time she enters the kitchen she throws down in fits of tears waiting for the chocolate to appear. And little did this mom know that one was in reach with stool in tow as she got eerily quite and then came sauntering into the family room with another one of her smartie eggs. Muhaha. A girl possessed with the sweet tastes of chocolate! Again I totally understand.
Love that little! And all my family combined! Happy Easter all!
