Easter

There is nothing better than holidays with kids. After Michael's first Christmas that he actually had some idea of what was going on, I can't imagine having a Christmas morning or any holiday without kids- it wouldn't be fun! There is nothing better than watching the magic in their eyes and the expressions on their face:)

This year Michael was much more aware of Christmas and Santa and Fiddlesticks, his Elf. That left lots of excitement for the newest member of magical characters to his childhood memories, the Easter Bunny. We talked about his arrival for days and when the blessed morning finally arrived, the boy forgot all about it. He woke up like every other morning, came downstairs, asked for his chocolate milk, Carnation Breakfast, and a show, Little Einsteins. I did as he asked, Michael is NOT a morning person. About 15 minutes later, I went in the playroom and asked him if anyone special came to visit last night...the boy sat and stared at his tv until the little lightbulb went off- THE EASTER BUNNY! Michael promptly flew from the couch and ran into the Breakfast Room where he found all of the goodies that magical bunny left for him:)

He could hardly contain himself and wanted James to share in his excitement, however, James decided to sleep in until 7:30, which never happens, so Michael went ahead and played with his new goodies in the playroom and helped me make breakfast until the rest of the house woke up:)

We had a little Family Brunch at the house and let the cousins play- it is always so great to get together with family. Michael loves his cousins and we were all worn out by the time the day came to an end.

The Easter bunny was great to our boys this year....I warned Michael to keep up his good behavior because he never knew when Fiddlesticks would be checking in on him:)
