Easter-ing

This Easter was a pretty fun one for the kids. Max was very excited about the Easter Bunny coming and leaving him candy. He insisted on leaving a plate of carrots and mini peppers for him along with a note handwritten by Max himself. But both kids were in to it this year. Last year Lia didn't get it at all; this year she was all over it!



The Easter Bunny couldn't find the regular Easter baskets this year so he brought some beach buckets instead that were even better.





Since it was kind of drizzly and wet outside the Easter Bunny decided to hide all the eggs inside. Didn't matter to Max and Lia who ran around like crazy kids looking for them. He hid the real dyed ones and ones filled with candy and prizes. I'm not sure what the Easter Bunny was thinking when he/she bought ALL that candy. Um, yeah, WAY too much. Eggs were certainly rationed for the days following.



That Bunny even remembered to throw in a pair of sunglasses for each of them.



Eventually too much sugar was consumed and naps had to be taken. Here Max looks as though his Easter bucket threw up on him as he's clearly in a sugar slump.


And who knows how much candy Tyler had eaten. Enough to do this:



But, no worries! After a morning of watching General Conference with Max and remembering what this holiday is truly about (not some silly rabbit with a serious sweet tooth) we took naps, ate a delicious lunch, hyped up on MORE sugar (seriously what were we thinking) and headed out to La Jolla Cove with Danielle.





Max had fun looking through the tide pools with Danielle for hermit crabs.



And Tyler tried very hard to not let Lia jump to her death from the rocks no matter how hard she tried.





All in all it was a great Easter Sunday. We learned a valuable lesson in sugar consumption and what it does to our kids (seriously, they were insane) and spent the day together having fun and enjoying the great Southern California coast.
