Gracie loves the idea of things like Santa and the Easter Bunny. She is all for presents and candy. But strange people coming in our house to leave them.....not so much. I told her that Santa and the Easter Bunny do not come in your house if you don't want them to. So, I tell her that they leave everything outside our door, send me an e-mail and then I bring everything in. That seems to work pretty well. It alleviates the anxiety and lets her enjoy the occasion.
I think the bunny went a little overboard this year. I can say with confidence that he chose a lot of his items from the dollar store but I think he lost track of how much he had and kept buying thinking he didn't have enough. I think next Easter he will do a better job of taking stock of his inventory.
We had a really nice day. We went to Church and then to brunch with my parents, sister and her family and the nuns. The nuns are Sr. Elly and Sr. Philomene. Elly is my step mom's aunt. They are lovely ladies and we love to have them with us for holidays. Then Gracie spent a couple of hours playing outside with her new bubbles and her cousins. We tried to end the night by attending an evening service at church that had an awesome gospel choir but that didn't quite work out. Oh well, live and learn. Overall, it was a nice day.
