Happy Easter!!! Easter is slowly becoming one of my favorite holidays. I love the traditions, the start of spring, and the promise of a great year ahead. Of course I always miss my family on Easter, but we’re starting to form our own little traditions out here in LA and it’s becoming a special weekend to us.
Easter morning, Adele woke up and Irving played with her in her room for an hour or so before I got up. Then we were excited to show Adele what the Easter Bunny brought for her! She was pretty excited!
It’s funny how babies know new toys when they see them. She was fascinated by the eggs.
And then we showed her that there were Puffs
inside the eggs and from that moment on, she knew the Easter Bunny was her BFF.
Because this lucky lady is going to Hawaii soon, the Easter Bunny brought her gifts in a new shiny teal pail! How did he know that Teal was mom’s favorite color too? That guy is smart.
So what did the EB put inside that pail?
An Easter Book, a new bath toy
and some Wooden Toy Cars
! I think they were all a hit! We spent a while playing with the new toys and opening as many eggs as we could.
And since it wouldn’t be easter without actually meeting the Easter Bunny himself, we decided to try again to go visit him on his farm! I was determined to get a picture with the bunny no matter what! So I invited some friends and we made the 40 minute drive to Underwood Family Farms to find that rabbit!
Note: Find friends that bring Bunny Ears on adventures. It’s worth it, trust me.
When we got to the farm, it was overcast, but we figured that was better than sun, so we didn’t think anything of it. We had a blast looking at all the fun animals on the farm.
Old Macdonald had a…. peacock?
And then it was time to go find the Easter Bunny! …… But it started raining. At first, a few drops, then a light drizzle. So we hunkered down under a tent for a little bit waiting for the skies to clear.
We waited an hour, chatting, feeding the babies, drinking coffee and hanging out.
When the rain let up, we looked outside and tried to run towards the bunny!
And then it started pouring again, so we retreated back to our tent. We kept peeking out seeing the miserable bunny sitting in the rain.
Then the skies would clear for a few minutes and we’d head back out again. This time, we knocked on the bunny’s door (literally… we knocked), hoping he’d come out so we could get our stupid picture and go home.
Did you know the Easter Bunny lives in a pink house in the middle of a field? Well he does.
Then some other little kids came over, and they knocked too… but the bunny didn’t come out. Can’t say I blame him really. But I was mad. Two attempts to visit the farm, we came |thisclose| to getting our dumb picture, and then we had to surrender. The 2013 Easter Bunny picture just wasn’t going to happen.
Adele was sad too, can’t you tell?
Maybe I’ll photoshop the bunny in to make myself feel better.
Um, that doesn’t make me feel better… at all.
But all jokes aside, we had an awesome day with our friends. Definitely a day we will never forget. Those poor babies were soaked and hungry, and poor Lisa’s stroller will never be the same again after riding through a muddy farm. But we lived to talk about it and it was so much fun.
But the EB better watch his back, he may have escaped this imd, but Toddler Adele will seek justice next year, just you watch.
I can’t remember who bought this beautiful dress for Adele, but I LOVE it. Lace makes my heart melt. It’s size 12 months too! I can’t believe it! Happy First Easter, Adele!
So sorry the Easter Bunny was being such a meanie! That photoshopped pic of him cracks me up though! So jealous you guys are going to Hawaii and i can’t wait to see those pics. You are so right, kids do know when there is a new toy around. L got a new car carrier and he spotted that thing among his pile in about 2 seconds. Those little ones are tricky 🙂
she’s getting so big!!
