Easter 2016

Easter was early this year, the last Sunday in March, and it was our first Easter in our house. We didn't have a lot of decorations but we were ready to dye eggs the week before. Cedric didn't have a lot of patience to let the colors set and got frustrated when we didn't have stickers to put on them, like we did last year. How he remembered last years eggs is beyond me!

Like last year he was very keen to eat them right away and immediately remembered that he doesn't like hard eggs. Next year Clara should be able to help some and I'm going to try to remember to add less water to the PAAS cups. And get stickers :)

We met with Grandma Podany Easter bunny the week before but spent Easter in Wichita and Kingman with my family. We were very happy that Grammy had a sign to remind the Easter bunny to "Stop Here"!

Clara wasn't big on opening the basket, she just loved to crinkle the paper and try to eat the grass. She did like the new gifts so much that she didn't mind her dad putting the jumbo egg on her head because she could still see her toys. 

Cedric didn't want to wear his fancy shirt but he did look good in it for a few minutes. 

When we woke up in the morning we had 2 inches of fluffy sticky snow on the ground. It was beautiful and sad, as this was the most snow all year and we didn't have any of Cedric's snow gear. He was disappointed he couldn't go out in the snow but was happy when it was 60 and melted in the afternoon for our Easter egg hunt in Kingman. 

 I bought Clara the cutest eyelet white dress from The Gap, a silvery-pink sweater from Carter's and a pair of hand me down silver shoes. This was the first time she wore real shoes, now that I think of it! I had this outfit for a few months - girl clothes really are cuter than boy clothes. It's hard not to buy more!

 Clara did a great job with all the family. She is definitely more social and less afraid of strangers than Cedric. She had a nice time sitting on her great-grandma's lap! 

 It was a quick trip down but it worked out. The kids slept better the first night than the second and they handled the drive down better than the drive back. These things will get easier!
