Easter/April Fools

Rielee got her Easter basket on Thursday since they were spending Easter in Phoenix this year. 

Then I pranked her with one of my Easter/April Fools brussel sprout cake pops.  So funny.

Rielee came over later to help me prank the girls, they were not happy. 

But they loved it Saturday when we tricked Lexi, then Auna,

and Jillian and Bridget on Easter. 

This was a first for us, dyeing eggs with the girls, and they are experts at it.  They stayed with us while the family went to a Mariner's game with Uncle Mike and Mikey.

They were very worried that the Easter bunny might not find them at our house to leave their baskets at the foot of their bed, but he did.  Ava said she woke up about 4 to the sound of hopping and felt something furry on her feet.  Papa woke up and told them they couldn't get up until I did, which was at 5:45.  They got bunnies, swimsuits and candy in their baskets.

The look on their faces was priceless when we all yelled "April Fools" when they got back from their eggless egg hunt.

But they found lots of eggs in the real hunt.

Tor was a happy little hunter.

 

It was a drizzly day but they still had fun.

Opening their loot.

 

The kids' egg roll, I can't recall who won.

Ava gave it her all trying to catch this egg but it went right over her.  She and Harper had 2 good catches though.

Tierney and Brock were the winners.

 

Then the girls decided an Easter sleepover was in order.  After some really wild playing, Jillian and Bridget introduced us to the baking show "Nailed It" and they settled in to watch that.   Ava, Harper and Jillian would draw a picture of whatever the baking challenge was, while Bridget sculpted it out of Floof.  Lots of laughs, and an early night for some worn out cousins.

They had back to back sleepovers, staying together at Cathy's Monday night.
