Easter
On Good Friday the kids did the Easter Egg Hunt in Greenwood. This year it was broken into age groups and eggs were hidden in different areas. Each kid got about 5 eggs and met the Easter bunny.
Hadley and I went to the Pickering Easter parade. The boys were not interested in going but Hadley wanted to go. This was our first time and well, it wasn't super awesome to be honest. There were what felt like ten minute breaks in between floats, and lots of just random cars. The highlight was the Easter bunny near the end which Hadley said was the same as the one from Greenwood and my friends two kids were in the parade.
I did have some lovely Hadley and me time! So that made it all worthwhile. In fact we even did some grocery shopping afterwards and she was so helpful!
On Easter Sunday we coloured eggs, had an egg hunt in our house, and of course enjoyed the loot brought by the Easter bunny. Hadley is sure he must be real as she doesn't ever see the sugar eggs that were left and Easton says he must be real too because how would his parents go out the night before when all the stores were closed to get the chocolate bunnies. It just isn't logical.
We had a lovely ham dinner together.
Monday was no school but Brian had to work so we enjoyed some time walking down our road, playing in the ditch, mud and with the neighbours.
Then the following Saturday we went to the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival where we enjoyed a wonderful pancake breakfast with some of the best maple syrup of course. We also bought a bunch of other goodies to enjoy.
This was followed by a lovely visit at Brian's moms house where we had Easter dinner, and celebrated Hadley and Julie's birthday.
Sunday we also celebrated Easter but this time at my dads. Again we were able to link two birthdays. Hadley's and my dads.
All in all, a good Easter!
