Easter eggs and snuggles

We had a very mellow Easter here this year. We had just moved in, we're really still getting settled. We were headed to my Grandma's house for lunch, so we didn't make it to church because we wouldn't have gotten to Grandma's on time if we went. So we enjoyed our morning at home together. We "hid" Easter eggs for Isabel in plain sight down the stairs and across the living room leading to her basket in the kitchen. It was pretty cold out and we really didn't want to do the outside hunt. Isabel squealed with delight as she found each egg and loved the matchbook cars that I hid inside some of them. She also got a Curious George coloring book and some washable markers and a tiny purse with a couple more cars inside. She loves to parade around carrying her purse and wearing one of daddy's hats. We did have an outside hunt at Grandma's house. My cousin Scott scattered chocolate eggs on the lawn for the little ones to "find". They didn't really know what to do and it was still really cold, but they were awfully cute and seemed to have a good time. Here's Isabel and Austin gathering the loot.
Ooh, look at all the shiny chocolate!
These pics I just took today. I watched Rowan at my house today. These were taken just after the kids took their naps. I brought Isabel downstairs first then went to get Rowan. Isabel reached out her arms to him and asked for him to join her on the couch. I sat him down next to her and he snuggled closer as they watched Curious George and ate fishy crackers and grapes.
Sometimes they can be so sweet with each other!

I like that you gave Isabel matchbox cars in her eggs and purse--a great idea! Our Easter was very cold, too. We did the Easter egg hunt, but it was a slight bit miserable. Good to hear news from you.
