Easter Morning

| March 28, 2016

Easter morning started very early this year. Like, before 7:00 a.m. Sam just couldn’t wait any longer to go look for her basket. You can see the sun is not quite up out the window. Sam looked in all the usual places upstairs then headed downstairs to search. Penelope noticed some Easter basket grass sticking out of one of the cabinets and Sam saw her looking, so that gave it away.

That crafty bunny! He is always finding new spots.

Penelope was looking to see if the bunny was still there, I think!

Some Easter hugs for the kittens. I can’t believe they rated a hug before basket unloading! Lucky kitties!

Sam made a basket of cat toys for Zach and Penelope. She was happy to see Zach investigating.

The bunny did well this year. Lots of things, including these tiny little Disney princess babies that Sam just loved!

And of course, oodles of candy and other goodies.

When everything had been examined, Penelope got a ride (she was not thrilled…..)

Once Mark woke up from his pre-sunrise stupor, he offered to make pancakes for Sam. She loves to help.

Later that day, my mom came over so we could have dinner. Sam kept asking me, “When are Grandmom and Invisible Poppy coming over?” She cracks me up. I said, “Invisible Poppy?” and she said, “Yes, just because he is in heaven doesn’t mean he isn’t going to be here on Easter!” I hope she is right.

We are so lucky to have this little girl. Her Poppy always did like seeing her in her Easter finest.

We were taking nice family portraits until somebody decided to be silly. 😉
