I love having Kids, they make special events so much more enjoyable, the way their little faces light up, when they see unexpected presents, and the cuddles they give all the family when they see them. This is the first time I have had easter in our new house, and I loved every minute of it (besides cleaning up after it :) ). Josh left a carrot and cup of water out for the easter bunny on the back porch the night before and totally forgot about it till I got up the next morning... He went outside to check it and lo and behold, the next thing I heard was "MUM, the easter bunny stole my cup" lol, It was hard keeping a straight face while telling Josh that maybe the easter bunny brought it inside cause it was cold that night. So we went in search of the cup, first the lounge/dining/kitchen/bathrooms/bedroom and finally in Josh's room. He found his eggs and a book, with the empty cup and a half eaten carrot. His face was full of amazement, joy and surprise. It was wonderful...

People started showing up at about 12 and lunch was started, just a simple one this year, BBQ, lasagne, salads, and some desserts. The kids had a ball, running around together, and having fun, playing imaginary games and trying to sneak whatever chocolate they could. lol. They were spoilt rotton, (its been almost 2 weeks and we still have a load of chocolate left). The last finally went home about 8, and the kids had a shower, then fell asleep pretty instantanously. It had been a long day for them.. The next day we had Hot cross buns for breakfast then went for a drive and had leftover picnic for lunch... What is it they say, the best things in life are 'free'.
