Our Easter morning got off to an early start. By 6:30, both girls were awake and ready to dive into their easter baskets. The Easter Bunny brought Gwen a book about penguins, a toy bug that blows bubbles, some toy pots to stack, and a new chewing ring for her ever-growing collection of teeth (she's up to 3, and counting...).
For Morgan, there were crayons, a new alphabet toy, bubbles, a pair of crocs, candy and a new toothbrush to scrub off all that sugar.
With all the excitement, Morgan had an "Ozzy Osbourne moment" and bit the head off a bird. Thankfully, it was just a Marshmallow Peep.
After breakfast, we headed outside to find Easter eggs.
Morgan liked finding eggs. But after a while, she discovered that she likes eating the M&M's and jelly beans inside the eggs even more.
After nap time, Morgan was itching to dye eggs. She has watched the video of herself dying eggs last Easter dozens of times. So as she dyed eggs, she acted out lines that her 2-year-old self said last year, repeating "I touch it" over and over again.
By late afternoon, the sun had burned away all the clouds, and the temperature reached 80 degrees. So we all put on our shorts and headed back outside.
Finally, we all came inside for Easter dinner: ham with spicy mustard and orange glaze, risotto, and sugar snap peas with creamy pancetta sauce. Everything was delicious. Even Morgan, who rarely eats meat, enjoyed the ham (although, she requested her pieces "with no syrup").
