We started our festivities on Friday the 6th, because Steve had to work on the 7th.

I have to go to great lengths to get real smiles out of her
The following morning Jill and I headed to some friends' house for a Mexican fiesta, egg hunt, and lots of outdoor play in the sunshine. She wanted to find the most eggs, and was proud of her hunting skills.

Peter Cottontail came, and he left a note!
The next morning when Steve returned home, Jill embarked on the hunt for her Easter basket. I hid it after Peter Cottontail filled it, and provided her with clues hidden in eggs throughout the house. She had to solve each clue to find the next egg. She requested 10 clues, so 10 clues she got.
Yay, the basket! (Please excuse my disgusting laundry room.)
Peter was kind to her this year
I was pretty proud of the bunny pancake I made
there was a basket at Dee and Pop's house too!

After lunch, we were the only ones left, along with Great-Grandma, so we played tee ball in the sunshine. Here is Pop chasing Jill with his "tagging finger." Jill cannot chase someone without having her tagging finger ready, so we all did it.

After cupcakes which Jill and I made the day before, we strapped her into Isabelle's Barbie jeep and skater helmet, and she had the time of her life. The rest of us had a few years shaved off of ours.
