Hop n' Down the Bunny Trail

Happy Easter All... Yesterday was a busy day for our family. Addisyn got a visit from the Easter Bunny, she was so excited, Harper is still to small to understand obviously. Alex got home from work at 8:30 that morning, and quietly got the eggs that I stuffed the night before and hid them outside, Addisyn had already woken up and came into my room and was just laying with me in bed, when he got inside I dressed her and we took her into the living room to see the surprise awaiting her. Then we went to look for the eggs that the bunny hid, she had so much fun. After that we got ready and went to church.

























That night, we had the annual Spanner family Easter dinner and hunt. It was so much fun, I was able to get eggs a lot easier this year without my brother Shane tackling me, at least until Alex got aggressive. He thought he was tough, but I am an Anderson, I took him down. Then he thought he could beat me to an egg, he dove through the hedge but in the moment his eggs flew out of the basket and into the road, it was the talked about move of the night. Addisyn was keeping Papa Jack busy running for eggs. It was quite windy and chilly so Harper and Aunt Cody snuggled together inside.

Breakfast Bunny and Easter Egg Hunt

So my mom signed Addisyn up for this Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast down at the Communty Center. I wasn't sure what to expect but it sounded like it could be fun. That morning Alex woke up sick, so I had to get ready and get the girls down there myself, to meet Nana and Papa. So we sat and had breakfast, and watched all the other kids to see what was happening, they had several tables all set up to do crafts and games. Addisyn and Papa started making their rounds as I sat with Harper and my mom ate. She went immediately to the Playdoh table, then we took her to guess how many jellybeans were in a jar, while Nana constructed bunny ears at another table. By that time Mr. and Mrs. Bunny came riding up in the park on motorcycles. Addisyn was so excited she kept saying,"Rabbit," but when it was her turn to say hi, she wanted to keep her distance. The Easter Egg Hunt was about to start so we all went outside and figured out where Addisyn needed to be, then the kids were off. She gathered eggs and Nana counted out fifteen, we had to take her out, otherwise she would have collected them all. We all had fun watching Addisyn, Harper will be doing it with her next year I can't wait!Addisyn was being instructed how to use Playdoh, it was her first time!

The easter Egg hunt, she was being such a nut for pictures that day...

This was the closest that she got to the Bunny all morning, and it was only because she was standing there smiling for a picture and we got the bunny to scoot in behind her, it made her a little uncomfortable.
Harper is such a little trooper, she was happy as a clam in her car seat the whole time. She got plenty of my attention talking to me and Papa.

February got away from me...

So, I need to do little catch up, the weeks have just gotten away from me, a lot has happened. Addisyn turned 2! We had so much fun! Her party wasn't until the next Sunday, because we were waiting for Nana and Papa to return from Utah, so Alex, Uncle Jojo, Harper, and I decided we need to have a special day, so we took Addisyn to Chuck-e- Cheese. She had so much fun, she was the perfect age. I tried to make a slide show of everything that she did but my pictures were to big, so I have only a few.

So, like I said her birthday was that Sunday, Nana and I worked Saturday night to bake the cupcakes, and on Sunday about an hour and a half before the festivities my cousin Meghan came over and we all worked like crazy putting them together. They turned out really cute, Addisyn loved them!


Addisyn got tonz of goodies for her birthday, she started to get a little bored opening the presents by the end, but she perked up when Grandma Great and Papa Jack brought in a bike. She loved playing with all the little buttons, so did her little buddy Talan.

I turned 23 on the 27th of the month, unfortunatley when I woke up that morning I was sick, I stayed home, Meghan, brought Olive Garden for lunch, Justin made a suprise visit, so we shared and it was lots of fun.
