Easter

We had a nice Easter weekend. It was a four day weekend for us, which is always nice. Jamie was gone during the week for four long nights and got back on Good Friday. It was a lovely day, so we headed to the beach.
On Saturday we headed to Sydney to Centennial Park for a egg-hunt. It wasn't a traditional hunt where you go and hunt for eggs, rather we were given a map and we looked for clues that spelled a word. At the end was the Easter Bunny, who gave us a chocolate egg. Annmarie was a little confused with the clues, but was happy running in the open fields and going over bridges and of course she was thrilled with the chocolate egg. We also had a nice lunch at the park. It's a beautiful park and I'm sure we will be back.
When we got home Annmarie and I did a little Easter craft (craft idea found here). Annmarie loves doing crafts. We each made a little bunny - a mum bunny and a Annmarie bunny. She is learning to write her name, it's great watching her learn how. She does have a bit of a tricky name to spell - the two n's and m right together confuse her a bit and her "e" is sometimes upside down. It's too cute.
We also wrote a letter to the Easter Bunny.
It reads.
Dear Easter Bunny,
Come into my house....and bring Easter eggs and a train. And something for Ben.
Thank you!
Love,
Daddy
Mum
Ben
Annmarie (signed by herself)

She also left him a drawing of ghosts and a orange dinosaur.
On Sunday the Easter bunny brought her a train and a Snow White Book, coloring pencils and some lollies. Ben got a ball and a book. Everyone was happy.
Ben enjoyed some hot cross bun for breakfast.
We then got the kids ready in their Easter's best - Giant shirts of course. We stayed in all day on Easter, so it worked.
I spent most of the cooking. Deviled eggs, leg of lamb, sweet potato smash, brussel sprouts and cupcakes!

After dinner we enjoyed a crazy lighting storm - need to figure out how to take a pictures of that.
Monday was another low key day...
The End.
