Easter...part two

It was Easter Egg Hunt time when we got over to GP & MiMoo's house.  There were Easter Eggs all over the backyard for the kids to find.  Aunt Mackie is known to tackle over Easter Eggs, so Kenna & Benny were a little nervous!  :)

The Easter Egg hunt was a blast, dinner was delicious, but nothing compares to getting to spend the day with the people you love the most in the world.

What an amazing day for McKenna & Benson...being a kid is the BEST!

Easter...part one

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined just how much fun Easter would be this year.  With a 1 year old and an almost 2 year old, it was an absolute blast!  They seemed to love every second of the day. 

Our day began early.

The Easter Bunny came!

EB was one smart bunny...he stayed away from tons of candy and filled the baskets with fun toys instead! :)

Mom! Easter Bunny Candy! Easter Bunny Candy! Mom!

Nngg!

The kids pulled everything out of their baskets ... Little People ("Guys") packages were opened, their new cups were filled with milk (Benny) and water (McKenna), and they munched on a few mini Oreo's. We packed up the car and were off.

We met Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski and Uncle Kevin at church at 8:30am. After church we headed to Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski's house for brunch.

We couldn't have asked for a better way to begin our day. We had a delicious brunch and a lot of fun with the Witkowski family.

Around 2:30pm we were off once again. We headed over to GP & MiMoo's house for the 2nd part of our fun-filled day...

A New Favorite Holiday?

Candy, Candy, and more Candy...that's what Easter is all about.  Right???

In McKenna's world it is. 

She hasn't stopped saying "Easter Bunny Candy, Easter Bunny Candy, Easter Bunny Candy."

Imagine her excitement when we headed to the Easter Egg Hunt in our neighborhood. The event was held at our clubhouse, which included a petting zoo, breakfast, and pictures with Mr. E.B. himself. It was a fun-filled event for the kids!

McKenna isn't as scared as Benny, she loved the goats!

it's much safer in Grandma Witkowski's arms!

We had a great time with Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski, MiMoo, and GP. Benson & McKenna couldn't be luckier to have such special grandparents, who make sure to never miss a moment. We love you!

Happy Easter, everyone! We hope you have as much of a candy filled Easter as we will :)
