Easter has started to become the new Christmas in my family. The kids woke up early and when I say early I mean like 6:30am, the Easter Bunny was sleeping still. Luckily, the kids went back to bed and we were able to get up and get things ready. The Easter bunny hid eggs all over the backyard and the kids had a blast running around grabbing each and everyone of them. Inside there was a basket from Mom and Dad full of things the kids love like books, Hannah Montana karaoke CD Cait and a Speed Beetle yoyo for Cam.
We then went to Uncle Brian and Aunt Liz's for another Easter Egg Hunt along with a room full of presents. We overdue holidays in the Colpaert family and we always have. Easter is full of new clothes from Grandma, water guns and cool toys for the summer. Harley and Kathy are always there and somehow Kathy always tops herself from the year prior getting the kids the coolest things, like kites and pinwheels. Grandma and Grandpa got Cait her own Princess fishing pole...yahoo!
We then top the evening off at the Bacarella's where I try to eat more after I just ate a full meal earlier in the day and the kids run outside for a great Easter Egg Hunt. I just want a Grandma Tina cannoli...which are the best in the world. The Easter eggs have money and candy which seemed to be the theme at all three egg hunts...we were never this lucky! It was great to see Conner our great nephew walking this year and all of his excitement. I don't like be called his Great Aunt Jen ( I am way to young to be called that), so I am Super Aunt Jen :-) In this family we do crazy things like my niece Alanna having a hard time always deciphering between her three aunts as our names are Jan, Jen, and Jeanne....so I let he re-name me last year to Aunt Marissa. I asked her where she thought of that name and she said it was because I looked like a Princess...sooooo Aunt Marissa it is, I always wanted to be a princess.
