Matt hard at work.
And they are off. Cousin Lila and Carter searching for their first egg.
LIla and Tyler got to see the Easter bunny too. They were able to stop to find some eggs in between an Easter Egg hunt in their neighborhood and probably nap time. Papa and Grandma stopped and helped the kids find some eggs too.
Carter warmed up enough to finally just start hugging the Easter bunny.
Then he got Riley into the picture.
Spotting another egg all by himself.
He loved that Riley had walked right past this one!
Both of them still searching.
Yesterday, being Palm Sunday we got up early and went to the early Mass so it was not so busy. It was nice but Carter did not handle the longer Mass well. He was very restless and would not talk quietly. We were not sure really if it was the longer Mass or going earlier that made it harder on him. We went out for breakfast afterward and then ran some errands. When we got home the kids wanted to play Easter egg hunt with the eggs they got the day before. Matt had promised to hide them so when he did we planned our surprise reveal to the kids that they are going to Disney World in a month. We have been struggling with the decision to tell them or just take them to the airport but we decided that half the fun was getting excited about the trip. So then it was a tough decision on when and how. So this is how it went. We hid the first clue in an egg when we hid them. And the rest goes like this:

How fun! What a great way to tell them! Elliot thought those were "great movies" too, just fyi!
Great job on the egg hunt! That was too cute! I'm sure the kids are super excited now that it's sunk in a little bit!
That brought tears to my eyes at how into it they were! I loved it and what a fun way to do it. I am glad you told them just so I could see there face!
o.k. so i totally felt like i was on the hunt with them! does that mean i get to go to Disney World, too? they were too cute and what a fun age they are to take both of them!!
That was so neat!! I bet they are really excited! I loved how Carter pulled around his backpack/suitcase. It made me smile :).
