EASTER (saturday)

We celebrated Easter with the Link's on Saturday, before Easter.  We started the day off with an Easter Egg hunt at Oak Run. Unfortunately, I forgot I needed to get gas before we headed over to the hunt, which made us late.  Addysen was not too upset, as a helper of the event hid some eggs, just for her.  I, on the other hand, felt HORRIBLE!  Luckily for me, she is an awesome little girl and has not been permanently damaged by this.  I'll look at it as a gentle way we're easing her into the mad
race of a typical egg hunt;-)

After the Easter egg hunt, Addysen decided that it was going to be okay for the Easter Bunny to come to our house...

After the Easter egg hunt, Addysen went home with Grandma, Papa, Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kelli.  Ainsley came home with me, to begin her training as an
Easter Bunny Helper;)

At the Link Easter, we also celebrated
Uncle Ryan's Birthday!
(Uncle Nate was really excited about this!)

*At the end of the night, Addysen was EXHAUSTED!!  She was 100% out of goodness.  She was crying and crying because she didn't want to leave...was going to miss Grandma... wanted to sleep in our room when we got home... was scared of the dark... Come to find out, she had changed her mind, and was TERRIFIED of the Easter Bunny coming into our house.  This is becoming a theme with poor little Addysen.  She was scared of Santa Claus coming down the chimney.  When we first started discussing God, she had a look of fear on her face as I told her that he is always with us and watching over us.  And now it's the Easter Bunny.  I think this fear came into play as we just saw/walked by the Easter Bunny at the mall. I will agree, that costume is a little creepy, but apparently to Addysen, it is the definition of scary!  After some hugs and some reassurance about her safety, she was able to calm down.  When we got home from Grandma and Papa's house, Addysen and I did a security check together. We made sure that all the doors were locked, so no one could get into our house, not even an Easter Bunny.
