Easter Weekend.

This weekend has been so much more fun than any other Easter because Jacob was actually home with us the whole time and that is a first. He was with us when we dyed the eggs and when we filled the baskets and to top it off Andie is here to. Yesterday we dyed the eggs with the girls and Andie joined in as this is an American pastime so she has never done this before. We made lots of mess as always and then the girls used the dye to dye seashells. Well, whatever works for them, they were having lots of fun.









This morning when the girls woke up the Easter Bunny had already been here and left them both a basket so they were very happy and excited.



Having sweets for breakfast is a surefire way of keeping them excited! The Easter Bunny doesn't tend to leave much candy in their Easter baskets he usually leaves them a toy and this year he left them both Zhu Zhu* pets. Oy vey! We have an annual date with our friends Ed and Jen for breakfast at their house followed by an egg hunt because it never fails the Easter Bunny always hides eggs in their courtyard whilst we are eating, yet we have never caught him in action.
















I love watching the kidlets hunt for eggs in the courtyard. The Easter Bunny is very creative with his hiding places and the kids spend quite a while searching. This year lots of Jenny's neighbours, (our old neighbours) came out to watch them.

My favourite part of this annual tradition is lining up the children on the bench and taking their photos. We can see not only how much the kids have grown but how our families keep on growing.

Looks like a great Easter was had by all! LOVE the pics. Boy, that Rosie sure is getting big these days! I haven't checked blogs lately but am up late tonight. Love the photos from past years too. 2008 is just so cute how Lily is holding (and soothing) Rosie! Adorable! Big hugs from Phila to you all!

Dearest Cope Family,

I think Easter is so special because we get to share our day with you and look back to the days when we both wondered if we would ever get the joy of sharing Easter with children of our own. We have all been blessed with family and friends. We love you!

Fondly,
The Kunkel Family
