Easter Festivities Continued...

Of course, no Easter would be complete without the traditions. We colored hard boiled eggs one afternoon with Aunt Jess, Aunt Kass and Hayley. The girls had so much fun and luckily Gabe took his nap for most of it. For anyone who has not heard of our family tradition of hiding baskets, I will explain. The night before Easter the kids all leave their shoes by the front door. The Easter Bunny takes a shoe and hides their basket somewhere in the house (or sometimes outside, depending on the weather). The shoe is left in the corresponding basket so when they find a basket they know if it is their basket by the shoe with it. It is a long evolved tradition that has changed a bit as marriages and in-law traditions have been added, but that is the jist of it. This year, Easter was cold and the week proceeding it was very snowy. The Easter Bunny wisely hid the kid's baskets in the house this time.
