Ellie's been a fan of Peter Rabbit these days, so it was quite fitting that he hosted our annual Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. Evie was a big help in the kitchen- helping put the finishing touches on the cupcakes and helping dad with the cookie dough. We had a great time putting together some bunny-themed delicacies, like carrot cake cupcakes, carrot-shaped crescent rolls stuffed with chicken salad, and chocolate-covered strawberries that looked like carrots.
But the best part was Daddy's watermelon carved in the shape of a bunny - ADORABLE as the kids said! (I guess Mom's chocolate strawberries were pretty cool too).
Evie and Ellie are ready to be the hostesses with the most-est.
There was a super cute moment when Ellie introduce her friend Mary Manning to her best friend Peter.
Evie walked her friends Ella and Cole through making an Easter chickie...
... while Ellie and Ava went to town on the designing some cool cookies with stamps and rollers.
Evie also did a great job of making sure every egg got dyed, with the help of her compatriot Sam. Unfortunately, we found out the next day that she may have been a little too enthusiastic when we learned that she had commandeered a pack of (raw) eggs from the basement fridge and those were colored and hidden with the other eggs for the hunt - unbeknownst to her parents. Cole sure ended up getting a surprise when learning how to crack what he *thought* was going to be a hard-boiled eggs. Whoopsie!
The kids line up on the stairs to hear the rules of the Hunt - Rule #1, give your friends bunny ears for a classic picture!
I love how Lara is trying to give herself bunny ears in this picture!
Sam found the golden egg - awesome work given it was hidden quite deeply in a bush.
Ellie took a break on the porch rocking chair to rest her legs after quite the hunt. Another day for the record books!
