EASTER!!!!!!!

We had a lot of fun over Easter as it spun it's way through the school holidays.

 First, Alara's Easter Hat Parade at school...

 ...made all by herself with just a little creative input from me.

 Leyla did her best at sitting still watching the parade...

 ...but she did get a chance to parade later on at home.

 Ma Ma and Pa left behind some early Easter treats for us all.

 It didn't take very long for them to disappear!

 The weekend before Easter we played host to the Foreman's and as well as an Easter theme for the day, we tried our hand at some Turkish pide as well.

 It didn't take long for them to disappear as well!

 We had the first of our Easter egg hunts for the holidays. The older kids hid eggs for both Leyla and Max to find first...

 ...some of the finds weren't exactly hidden but they did a great job for the little people nonetheless.

 Max not sure what to do with his find...

 ...mind you, this year Leyla knows exactly what to do!

 Hence, the stealing from Max's stash!

 Now it was time for the older kids hunt. Sami, Larissa and Dave spent a good little while finding the toughest, most trickiest spots to hide the eggs.

 We watched in amusement as they all dashed about "hunting".

 I think all but 1 or 2 were found, hidden so expertly not even the adults could re-find them!

 Jam session before dinner.

 Easter Sunday and the bunny had been!

 Wide-eyed and excited about their treats.

 Leyla is much like her mother when it comes to chocolate - no restraint whatsoever.

 I didn't stop them from rushing up to Sami to show him their treats while he was still in bed. Ha Ha.

 Later on in the day we headed over to Jill and Morgan's for a BBQ and the last of the Easter Egg hunts.

 The Dash for Eggs begins...

 Lucho helping Leyla find some little ones...

 Happy Easter!!!

 Shameless selfies from me.

 Some Easter holiday fun with a craft kit I'd had in the cupboard for ages.

 Leyla giving it a good colouring go...

...and ta da!
