Easter 2012

Our Easter bunny likes to hide the kids' baskets. They are usually hidden in pretty obvious places, but being the kids are getting a bit better "seekers," he got tricky this year. Claire searched and searched. Finally with some assistance via a job, she discovered her basket. She was quite surprised! Our bunny doesn't give much (if any) candy in their baskets. By the time Easter rolls around, we've typically done 1-2 egg hunts, plus we always do our own later in the afternoon. Instead, baskets are filled with little things. Both girls got a Hello Kitty pillowcase. They were beyond thrilled, but the real happiness came in the mail the next day--they each got money from Grammy & Papa. We had a deal with Claire where if she read 2 books fluently, we'd buy her the Hello Kitty blanket that she has been oogling for so long. Well, the kid pulled one over on us. She opened her card, pulled out her money and announced that she can go buy the blanket! Little bugger! We bought it on Monday. She was too darn cute. She said thank you in Korean, while bowing nice and low to the Korean shop keeper. (Thank you, Ms. Kim--you've taught her well :) The shop keeper just smiled, but my pride was bountiful.
