Eggs for days

Easter Sunday was as whirlwind of fun!  Magnus and Sylvie woke up to filled Easter baskets in Windsor, then it was straight to the egg hunt!  The Windsor Easter bunny (aka Nancy) fills the eggs with money or lottery tickets and allows all the  "kids" to hunt!  Sylvie and Magnus were clearly at a disadvantage against Franci, Steve, Mommy, Daddy, and Jakob :)  Cole took Magnus around who absolutely loved picking up the eggs and shaking them.  He got so excited every time!  Sylvie had geared up for the hunt by throwing on her new helmet and then proceeded to run around the yard yelling "come on guys"!  
After the hunt we all got ready for church and enjoyed a service at the Windsor First Baptist Church.  Sylvie loved playing with the other kids int he nursery while Magnus luckily slept through most of it.
A yummy prime rib dinner followed church then we were off to Independence to spend some time with my side of the family at Other Mimi and Boppy's house.  Of course the Easter bunny had also been there and the 3rd hunt of the weekend took place along with a little celebration of Other Mimi's upcoming birthday.  If Jay's shorts look a little short…they are!  He had a bit of an accident and had to borrow some of Sylvie's shorts we had with us.  Paired with his boots, his outfit was definitely the highlight of my Easter! 
It was an exhausting day but I wouldn't have changed a thing!  We're so lucky to get to spend so much time with both of our families and our kidos are such troopers and really did enjoy all the activities!

Easter Part 1

This year's Easter was so big it's going to take 2 separate posts!  We kicked off the weekend with a trip to the Easter bunny with the cousins.  I thought Magnus would freak out since he is such a mommy's boy, but instead he loved it!  He just sat there on the bunny's lap and kept looking at him and smiled like it was no big deal.  Vivi however was terrified, and I don't blame her!  That bunny was creepy!  

Friday night we headed down to Windsor to spend some time with Cole's family.  Saturday was packed with crazy amounts of Easter fun!  We attended the Easter parade, followed by the town Easter egg hunt and play time at the park.  Windsor really knows how to do a holiday!!  Sylvie loved the parade and loved running to collect all the candy that was thrown.  She ran like the wind for the egg hunt, stopping here and there to observe everyone else.   Magnus refused to nap while in Windsor so his mood was iffy and therefore was hard to snap a pic of.


Nancy and Erggy decided to surprise Sylvie the Princess with her 1st bike!  It's quite possibly the most gotti Disney Princess bike I've ever seen, complete with a matching bell and helmet, but my lord she LOVES it!  Her face says it all!  She spent the rest of the day Saturday riding laps around their driveway all smiles!

We ended the day with a trip to the farm where a little fishing was done, minus actually catching a fish. Sylvie and Mag love watching all the cows and riding in the truck.  Sylvie kept insisting on holding the big fishing pole herself and I think found it pretty anticlimactic when no fish ever surfaced.  Either way the farm is one of her fav places to go!
