{Easter Re-Cap} The Bunny Goodies

The holidays are truly so much more fun with little ones around.  This Easter was no exception -- Kingston was really into Easter egg hunting and, of course, excited to see what the Easter Bunny would bring this year.  We re-used the boys's baskets from last year (see HERE) and found a few goodies we knew they would be sure to enjoy.  In remembering how Kingston was so very literal with our Elf on the Shelf, I made sure to explain to Kingston that we needed to set out their Easter baskets the night before Easter, in hopes that the Easter Bunny might leave surprises for them to play with in the morning.  Worked like a charm.

Inside Kingston's Easter basket, he found:

1. Easter Bunny ears
2. Orange-flavored Jelly Belly Jelly Beans in the shape of a carrot
3. Robot water bottle
4. Bunny Pez dispenser + two SpiderMan eggs filled with Pez candy
5. Bubbles 
6. Skylander SwapForce character Freeze Blade

And, inside Cole's Easter basket, he found: 

1. Plush lamb
2. Frog water bottle
3. Easter Bunny ears
4. Orange-flavored Jelly Belly Jelly Beans in the shape of a carrot
5. Planes Airplane
6. Bunny Pez dispenser + two SpiderMan eggs filled with Pez candy

The result?  Two pretty happy Easter Bunny-eared boys!     

Easter Goodies for Good Boys

This year I had fun collecting little goodies and treats for my two sweet little boys.  I tried to not overdo it by finding little things that they needed, paired with a couple of wants.

Because we had plans to head to my parents' home for Easter, we didn't do any plastic eggs/Easter egg hunts at our home.  And there weren't any in their baskets either.  But Kingston still managed to get two chocolaty treats in his basket.  

For the big boy, I got two main fun things Kingston wanted/needed... then threw in a few extra treats.

1. Pinwheel (this ended up being the desired toy for both boys)
2. Wreck It Ralph (His "want" for sure)
3. Ironman Headphones (His "need," as daddy's headphones are broken and he needs a pair to listen to ABC Mouse.  And when I found a pair that had his favorite superhero designed on the earpieces, I knew I just had to grab them for my boy) 
4. Chocolate Frosted Sugar Cookie Bunny (he snuck this cookie behind our couch and started eating it... before church... without us knowing... and then got a baby wipe bath before we had to leave)
5. Easter-themed M&M Fan (Because I knew the boy would have a blast pushing the button and making it spin)

For our little, only two things.  He didn't need much and will share the DVD and books with his brother.

1. Chick Stuffed Animal (something soft and cuddly for him to play with)
2. Jack & Lily Soft Sole Slip-On Shoes (a little big, but the boy needed a new pair... a pair of his own that were not previously worn by his big brother)

I am a sucker for books and could not pass up on the good deals I got on these four books.  They weren't going to be part of their Easter goodies, but with the holiday coming and these new books in my hand, I decided to just place them with their baskets for the boys to find on Sunday morning.

Kingston couldn't wait to flip through the superhero book... and Cole thought "The Happy Egg" was a good book to use for a teether... so, score?

I will be sifting through my Easter weekend photos throughout the week and will share them with you - we had a wonderful, relaxing weekend and hope you all did too.  And for those of you in Western Washington: can you believe the weather we had?  The best.
