Easter Canadian Style

Did you know that everything in Canada is closed for Good Friday? This is one of the little things we are learning living up here. And no school today, Easter Monday.
Anyway, we dyed Easter eggs with the kids this year. The kids, although tired (it was past their bedtime) had a blast.

And wouldn't you know it, living in Toronto, the Easter bunny was running really late. So late in fact that he left Connor and Caitlin's baskets on the front door step and had to ring the door bell. He had a ton more houses to get to. But because he was running so late, he hid Easter eggs full of treats around the front yard for the kids to find. 

See this dead looking thing at the bottom left corner? The kids helped me dig this up and plant a pink hydrangea in it's spot. We also planted another pink hydrangea, a dark purple hydrangea and some peonies. Then it got really cold, so we came in the house and enjoyed watching a movie. They helped me make dinner and watched it rain. It was a real enjoyable day and we look forward to creating memories and new traditions with the kids.
