Easter....

From our family to yours... here's to a safe and happy Easter...

For us.....things have been pretty quiet ....Ian, Mitch, Briony and I have all worked three of the four days....and so at no stage were we all home at the same time..... we are sort of like ships passing in the night.

Although this morning....when Brent and Alex brought Bella around.... it really did feel Eastery.....and we had the opportunity to spend some time together.... Bella gave us lots of laughs and joy as she finally comprehended a little of what Easter was about.....and took part in her very first egg hunt.

The poor sweetie was barely awake when she cracked open her chocolate rabbit.... she was all starey eyed .... still trying to wake up..... she couldn't even hold the rabbit herself.....

Finally she was awake.....and with a little prompting from us .....she discovered the first of her little eggs hidden in the garden.
Auntie Briony had bought her a cute little Easter basket.... and although she liked to carry it around.....she seemed to think it was much more important to collect the eggs in her red wagon...
So with her basket hooked on her arm she busied herself looking for eggs..... with a very excited giggle each time she found one...... then when her hands were full.....she would cart them back to her wagon for safe keeping.

I think all in all.....the egg hunt was highly successful this year..... what do you think?
