So many bunnies at the Blackham house this Easter. We'd actually invited the folks, and they were planning on coming, but Dad got hit with a flu bug (not the first time for him or us on Easter, (2013).
I got the three oldest to recreate this classic picture ...
They nailed it!
The Easter Bunny came and left some treats and toys in the buckets. Reeses eggs are a favorite for Keaton, but he (and I, and Landon) have been treating ourselves for a while with a big bag (or two ... or three) leading up to the holiday. Keaton did get some more in his bucket, along with some Cadbury eggs and a few other treats, and one more box of Tagalong Girl Scout Cookies (one box for Landon and Callahan too). The little boys don't like Reeses (or Tagalongs, or peanut butter anything) so they had Kit Kat and Rolos. There were a couple little nerf guns, Legos (the boys always got Legos in their younger years) and some other random little toys.
We did brunch around noon ... cinnamon pull-a-parts, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns ... and crepes. We actually finished off most of the food, there wasn't much left-over. In the days leading up to Easter, I'd made a few batches of meringue "nests" (a Blackham Easter tradition, Jen/Cooper and Cal love them) and copycat Swig cookies.
... one of the random toys was a package of "Bloonies" (I had this on hand from sometime before, I'd looked for them at the store this year but hadn't seen them). Landon and Cal (and Kate) really got into the Bloonies. Lots of memories blowing these bubbles when they were younger.
... there was also some fun in the backyard, playing KanJam (trying to get the frisbee into the "can" ... played with partners, so one can throw and the other can try to bop it in). After several traditional games, Callahan was super silly and put the can over his head and tried to catch the frisbee ... and he did! Also some fun video of the doggies and Daddy (Gray).
Another Pre-Easter activity this year ... was bunny Zumba. Jen brought all the ears, and she even wore a little white tail. And yes, the Bunny Hop was on the playlist!
