Easter 2012

Fans. The Easter Bunny came to Raleigh House! We didn't see him, because he has to hop super, super fast to get to all the houses where the families celebrate Easter, but he came. Cleverly, he placed the eggs and baskets inside since Easter morning was rather chilly. He also quite cleverly placed placed many of the eggs in plain view and at heights that both bambini could reach so the thrill of the hunt was less in the discovery and more in the gathering. Clara likely did not remember last year's Easter egg hunt, but she caught on quickly enough. Joe filled up his basket and then happily announced he was done, and the innocence of his pronouncement was quite charming. The bambini had the most fun opening the eggs rather than hunting them down. This year, the Easter Bunny brought eggs filled again with Band-Aids, stickers, and fruit snacks, but there were also some eggs filled with beaded necklaces, chocolate eggs, and little chickadees. The Easter Bunny could probably have filled every egg and the baskets with fruit snacks and call it an Easter, though over time, the necklaces have proved a popular trinket. And so. Another Easter is in the basket.
