Easter Morning

Sick Lily woke up bright and early and bouncing off the walls.  No fever was going to slow her down when she knew the Easter Bunny had been here!  She still has her fever, but thankfully that is all, so it does not appear to be a stomach bug (knock on wood).  She was all ready to go on an egg hunt in the house!
The Easter Bunny brought Lily an Olivia house, chocolate bunny, goldfish crackers, M&Ms, Reeces Pieces, a little Easter Barbie and a Minnie Mouse dressed as a bunny.  Danielle got the same Minnie Mouse bunny, teething rings, rubber duckies, a fisher price smartphone (phones have changed SO much since Lily had toy phones, so we had to upgrade for Dani) and a Fisher Price holder for my iphone -- that way Danielle can play with my phone apps without me having to worry about he dropping it or slobbering all over it!
Spotting eggs as she comes downstairs.
She wanted her shopping cart, not a basket, for more efficient egg hunting.

On the hunt!  It was supposed to rain today and there aren't many good hiding places outside.  So I just prefer to do it in the house.  It is easier and less threat of bugs. :)

"More Money".  
Instead of candy that will last till Halloween (like last year) or crappy little toys that I'll just end up throwing away, the Easter bunny put money in Lily's eggs so she could learn to count money and save up to buy something she wanted.  There were dollar bills, pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters and one $5 bill!  Lily was underwhelmed by the money and said that there was "too much money" and that next year it would be better if he brought less money.  Obviously I still have A LOT to teach this girl!!



Danielle liked playing with the eggs.
Her stash.  
She had fun hunting eggs and I was glad that her fever didn't ruin her Easter morning.

Counting her money!  
The Easter bunny put in about $10 more than he meant to. ;)  The final count was $28.64.  I think the bunny should have counted all those quarters out of the change cup instead of just filling up eggs at random.  :)
