Easter in Auburn, 2008

N playing with his new easter basket goody, a toy car...Rrrmmm!

M, N (the one that wants to keep moving) and Lil' Peanut with almost all of their cousins! One was at college and the other two are in Oklahoma.

M found his Easter basket and I think Lil' Peanut was still looking for hers.

My mom and dad always said there was only ONE Easter Bunny...
Bunny D and Bunny C - Bunny D looks a bit scary though...

Bunnies S and B. I didn't know that the Easter Bunnies were Asian, too! Whoa, cool!


Well, Easter was a blast at my parents home. It was a perfect day for an egg hunt, letting the kiddles play outside, and enjoying time with family.

It was quite the day. The kiddles did so well considering they didn't get their naps, played hard, ate candy and crashed when we headed home. Actually, M ended snoozing a bit while Lil' Peanut was opening her birthday presents.

We got gifts galore, had the Elmo themed party of the year, ate more candy, and purely enjoyed ourselves.

M and Lil' Peanut got along great since there was so much room to explore and they had other cousins to watch and play with them.

Little Miss Lil' Peanut cracked me up though - she had to be in the middle of the cousins, while they opened their hunted eggs with money contained within. She was so fascinated by the whole event.

Actually, as I recall, all three of the kiddles found their way in the middle to see what was going on, and see how they could get some of what the others were getting.

So many memories and so much fun having kiddles to enjoy these kinds of holidays. I sure miss having my nieces and nephews being so small. But I guess they do have to grow up some time. Boohoo!

But now that we have our own kiddles, the holidays will continue to be fun and a sense of wonderment.

Aaahh, the joys of childhood...
