Candy, Eggs, and Bunnies

Easter has come and come again this year. Right before the holiday got here, I was thinking how much more I was going to start loving holidays. Olivia knows what is happening, and she can really be genuinely happy and excited for it like I am. I am a HUGE fan of any holiday really and I am so happy that Olivia is starting to know what i'm actually talking about! I don't make a huge deal about holidays other than a birthday or Christmas with gift giving because I don't really believe some of these significant holidays should be about. Also, what does showering your children with multiple gifts teach them? They begin to expect and demand tons of gifts on holidays and I do not want my child growing up thinking she is able to have so many things that she doesn't necessarily need. I just filled Olivia's basket with a few small things, some candy, a movie with her favorite shows from nick jr and a coloring book. She LOVED it when I went to get her in the morning and I told her that the Easter bunny had brought her a treat. The day before, we dyed some eggs together using an idea I saw on pinterest. I got a metal whisk and put the eggs in it so she could dip the eggs in the dyes without breaking the shells. SUCCESS! After we woke up and looked through the cute things she got, we got all ready and went on Olivia's very first Easter Egg hunt at the park. It was quick, easy, and to the point but so fun to watch her collect eggs for her basket. After the park, we went to eat breakfast with  "memaw and papa doe" (my mom and joe) All in all it was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it. Here are a couple photos from our Easter festivities.
