grandparents' easter

we decided to do the easter gifts from grandparents on saturday night because we had a pretty good feeling that their gifts would outshine the easter baskets we had prepared for easter day. after we got home from church we let madelyn rip into it.

madelyn could hardly contain her excitement over stickers, bunnies, candy, and other fun toys and accessories. the grandparents get so excited. our kids sure are spoiled.

i think mason was a little overwhelmed by all the new items and madelyn excitement. although it could have been that it was getting so close to bedtime and that he hadn't really had much of a nap that afternoon.
he was very happy with his cards (he had one in each hand) and carrot bat. (and, yes, it is the same carrot bat that madelyn got on an easter past.)

madelyn hurriedly put her loot away so that she could play with it the next day since it was bed time. sad to say that she did not make this same choice on sunday night and the majority of these items are now packed away in our basement. sigh. love.

I got excited for them, too, just reading the post. Madelyn's dress is too cute :)

Grandparents really do need to control themselves, but love to see the excitement on Maddie's face. Thanks for the pictures!
