Easter

On Easter morning Ella BOUNDED out of bed to see if the Easter bunny had come. (As a side note, she did NOT do this on Christmas. Candy trumps Santa). She had informed JD the day before that she thought MAYBE Easter was her favorite holiday. When pushed she changed back to Christmas, but it does attest to the level of excitement she had.

Easter morning the girls discovered their Easter baskets (year round toys) had been found by the Easter bunny and FILLED. This was somewhat exciting, but the true excitement was - what is in the back yard? "I hope there are lots of treats." Yes, there were. Charlotte dove into her candy, dumped every piece out on the carpet and sat without moving until it was finished. Completely. Ella had some but then chose to put hers away so that she could have some later. (At which point she kindly shared with Charlotte who had none for later.)

After the Easter festivities of the morning we went to a family friend's house and enjoyed seeing friends and eating DELICIOUS food there. The girls got to play with a bunch of other kids and even got to swim (a chilly day in Los Angeles, but still swimmable in a heated pool!).
