Hey all of my egg colorin', basket fillin', carrot leavin', best dressed in your Sunday best, Bunny watchin' Peeps... not to be confused with those yellow chick marshmallow Peeps I just learned about on Sunday... HAHA!!!
I am about to tell you a tale of long ago... well, actually it was only two days ago... just trying to sound like my friend Charles Dickens.
Where did I leave off? Oh yes...
It all began on my First Easter weekend and it was Egg-mazing- definitely sounding more and more like Dickens! It was a weekend full of fun adventures and new discoveries... including this bunny suit Mama picked up for me... the cotton tail was cool, the ears resembled that of a cat more than a bunny and they did not help me hear any better, but it was still rad to pretend I was the hippity-hoppity Easter Bunny!
Mommy wanted me to be festive while we colored my very first batch of Easter eggs.
I was not too sure about this whole coloring perfectly good grub with artificial color...
But I gave it a whirl to please the Folk-sters... those kids are always workin' on somethin'!
And it turns out, Yours Truly became EGG-static about coloring un-hatched chicklings!!!
Are y'all ready to check out my master pieces? NO, they are NOT hiding in my Dad's beard silly! What do you think this is, an Easter egg hunt???
TA-DAAAAA! #POW!
Mama and Noni had EGG-stra fun decorations to spruce up these cute lil' eggs... we would not have it any other way than Mickey style of course!!!
After egg coloring I got plum tuckered out! But Mama and Daddy told me that we had to put a carrot out so that the Easter Bunny could have a yummy snack when he hopped to our house to drop off a basket full of goodies for ME! So I gave the furry guy one of my mini carrots... told Mama not to blend up this one!
And if I did not see it with my own peep-sters, I would never have believed it... I awoke Easter Morning and this is what I saw...
YEA... I KNOW!!! This Bunny actually took a bite out of the carrot... HE IS SO REAL!
That's not him... That's just me taking a break from this story to eat some breakfast carrots with a mask on...
See! Had you guys going for a second! Now where was I...
You have got to be kidding me! Mom says the Easter bunny is in the front yard! It's time to get dressed for the Big Day. I hear you have to dress your best to get a chance at seeing old mister bunny. Here is good ole mom helping me put on my snazzy hat!
And no outfit is complete unless you are rockin' a very classy bow-tie! Dad! To the front yard! Let's track this Rabbit!
I don't believe it! There was a bunny paw trail that went from the edge of the grass and and took a hop onto our walk way!
I was in TOTAL dis-belief! Mama and Daddy, is this a dream, or did Mr. Easter Rabbit really leave me my very own Easter Basket???
How did he know I loved Mickey? I hope he is not offended that I like mice more than rabbits!
Mr. Bunny even filled my plastic Easter eggs with Gerber Organic Puffs that teach me my fine motor skills... he must have children.
And it wasn't long before shock wore off, and curiosity kicked into high gear!
The Disney books and blu-rays were awesome... but there was this one orange egg that got my attention!
And kept my attention for quite some time.
Not only did the Easter Bunny get me a basket, but my Papa Rich and Noni did too!!!
WOW! This puppy was packed out! Thank you Papa Rich and Noni! If I did not know better I would think that Papa and Noni knew the Easter Bunny or something...
Suddenly I got word that there was a Bunny sighting at my Aunt Cookie's house... grab my coat Folks... and away we GO!
Once we got there, the Fam wanted to eat a quick lunch! I couldn't believe they did not want to begin Bunny searching immediately... time is of the essence!!!!
Aunt Cookie then told me that she saw "The Bunny" in a lil' hole behind some cages that were in her backyard... guess it's better for him to be behind a cage than in it!
Lunch was finally over and now we get to go have a little "look see" like Doctor Knox would say.
You know I meant business if I lost my bow tie and coat for a minute... can't get those dirty.
And then... I spotted him! Aunt Cookie had to offer him fresh veggies, and Cousin Kirsten lured him out while Cousin Katelyn waved her sparkly crutch at him... but he finally made his Easter appearance!!!
He was a lil' smaller than I had imagined the Easter Bunny to be... but he was so awesome!!! He must have been over eating carrots after eating them all night, 'cause all he was wanting to grub on was grass.
And then it happened... I got to take my picture with The Bunny... it was strange that my Dad could hold the Easter Bunny and he had super dirty feet... but it was probably because he was hopping all over the world the night before.
I started to warm up a bit the more pics we all took...
I wanted to make sure that I was nice to him so that he would hop over to our house next Easter and leave me his paw prints and another Mickey basket!
Then I was trying to give my Mama the look as if to say, "Do you think Mr. Bunny would like to come home with us? I promise I will share my carrots everyday with him!"
POOF! Suddenly the Easter Bunny was gone! Well, my Daddy let him hop in the grass and Aunt Cookie I think gave him a lil' Timothy hay... it is kinda weird that Aunt Cookie has like all this bunny food and treats at her house... no wonder the Easter Bunny hangs out there after his deliveries!
Mama put my coat and bow tie back on and home we went. I got to sit with the Easter eggs we colored and admire our craftsmanship while eating a few Gerber Puffs.
I began to ponder... It is pretty crazy that for every major pager holiday someone comes to your house and drops off a gift... old man with a beard at Christmas (NOT to be confused with my Daddy), cupid at Valentine's and a white bunny with a brown streak down his back at Easter... totally amazing!
Side note, this here was my absolute favorite Easter egg we colored!
Man that tale was long! I am exhausted!
But I am getting a little emotional that this Easter holiday is all over and that Mama and Daddy are telling me that I need to get in my P.J.'s... yes, I am sure Dickens wore a footed sleeper too!
I sure hope that I can fit into this snazzy outfit next year... I feel like it brought me good luck... I mean come on, what kid gets lucky enough to not only see colored Easter Bunny paw prints in his front yard... but to actually touch his dirty feet at his Aunt Cookie's house?
Well, hope y'all had as awesome as an Easter as I! HEY! Just had an amazing thought, maybe next year we can invite the Easter Bunny to Church! WOOOOHOOOOOOO! Charles Dickens to the L to the J to the G signing off and to all a good night!
