Easter

Okay so its almost a week later but we have had a busy few days. Saturday we went to Snohomish for a egg hunt and the Easter parade. The egg hunt was a crazy mad house of kids! I didn't realize how big of a event it was but there were a couple thousand people there. They had big areas set up for the different age groups (which was nice) and all the kids lined up around the ropes, and the hunt was on!

After the egg hunt we went to our friend Kyle and Heather's House. They have a son who is a few days older than Eli and a newborn. Their home is right on the parade route so we all met there and watched the parade in comfort (and with a mimosa!)

Melissa (Vinny's mom) was dressed up as the Easter bunny and was part of the parade. It was fun to see her all dressed up and loving her new role. She was also posing for pictures with the kids after the parade to raise money for some local charities. She is such a great lady! Eli loved the Easter "nunny" and kept going up to sit in her lap and give her Easter eggs. It was really cute! Vinny wasn't so sure about the whole deal and was actually a little freaked out that the Easter bunny sounded like mom.

Sunday we kept it simple and had a egg hunt in our backyard and I made a Easter dinner for all of us. Jim (Grandpa Dunn) came over to have dinner with us to visit with the boys. All in all it was a really great day and all the left over ham has been treating us well :)

Some random girl, what a creative Easter bonnet! I guess they had a contest for most creative Easter bonnets. Next year I will have to participate!
