The Easter Bunny Comes

The night before Easter, the Easter Bunny came to our house!

First, let me explain, that Cooper started having a horrible cough Saturday evening, so we were already prepared and it didn't look good!!

Lexi went to bed at 8:30pm, but didn't go to sleep until 10:30pm,

which meant I couldn't go to sleep until 12:30am.

THANK GOODNESS Suzie was here to help me finish my "chores".

Cooper woke up at 3am, because he was feeling awful and running fever! He was very shocked and a little angry that the Easter Bunny

had left such messy tracks all over the house!!

Looks like the Easter Bunny sat in Cooper's booster seat and ate a snack!

We forgot to set him out a snack,... BUT luckily,

he just made himself at home and went digging in the pantry!

Cooper never did go back to sleep, and he was SO congested! Finally, at 5:30am, I gave him some Benadryl! So,... OF COURSE, Lexi was up at 6:30am well rested and VERY excited!

I let her stay up and look at all of her stuff.

But,... we didn't DARE wake up Cooper!

We were scared!

Wen he did wake up, Lexi led him through the tracks and explained what all the Easter Bunny had done! Lil' Momma!....

Here's Lexi showing off her chocolate Peeps and Astronaut Ice Cream!

Cooper was thrilled to get a new Air Hogs Rocket!

Poor baby - he just didn't feel good!

You KNOW it MUST have been a special day - I cooked breakfast!

Grandma Cissy's recipe for Monkey Bread.

Granny & Grandaddy came later for lunch and gave the kids their Easter baskets.

Lexi got "Enchanted" - a VERY cute DVD!

Cooper is looking thru a Kaleidoscope!

Time to hunt the eggs.... it was VERY cold, so they had to

change out of their cute Easter outfits!

Cooper beat Lexi to one of the tricky eggs!

Granny & Grandaddy also got them a game that is like

half tennis and half tether ball!

It took a little while to catch on and a few whacks in the face,

but they are getting better :)

After nap time, I made them put their clothes on so I could take pictures.

Cooper was plenty drugged up, so he didn't really fight me too much.

Unfortunately, we did not get a picture of all 4 of us!

I had actually got us all clothes so that we all matched!

Maybe another day when everyone is well.

We also had our neighbor, Joyce, over and her daughter, Valerie.

It was a great time with LOTS of food and laughs!
