According to Makenna, we had a wonderful Easter and I agree!  When the kids woke up they came into the living room and searched for the eggs that the Easter bunny hid, and then they opened their Easter baskets.  For breakfast we had some of the eggs that Makenna dyed the day before and then I made a carrot cake.  After several years of wanting to go to the Easter egg hunt at Parc Montjuzet (the large park that overlooks the city) but being deterred by bad weather, we finally went this year.  There are styrofoam eggs that are hidden throughout the park and they are replenished throughout the day.  We had a hard time finding some at first, but there were several really sweet older children that just came up to Makenna and put some eggs in her bag.  There was a tent set up that the children exchanged their eggs for a Kinder chocolate egg and a goodie bag.  Makenna and Reese both had fun walking around looking for eggs and we even ran into my friend Melanie and her family.  There were also games and bounce houses set up but we didn’t stay long because we needed to get home for lunch and Reese’s nap as he was still a little sick.  Before we left, I took Makenna to the face painting table and it was the first time she wanted to get her face painted and wasn’t scared.  She had her face painted like a cat and she loved it!  After lunch Makenna painted a little ceramic bunny that she got in her Easter basket, and then Lili came over with Elis to take her to the park.  We talked to our parents for a little while and then enjoyed a ham dinner.
