easter 2015

he
- Prepared by making hot crossed buns to share, decorating boxes to give as gifts and painting butterfly cards to send to Adelaide.
- Played with beloved rellies (and their beloved toys) in Toowoomba.
- Had a sleepover in Pa's study/office, and announced unequivocally that this was the right time to stop wearing night nappies.
- Hunted for Easter eggs in the garden with his cousin.
- Saw a real rabbit hopping in Nanma & Pa's yard (but was adamant that it was not the Easter Bunny because it wasn't wearing clothes or standing up straight on two legs, so must have been Easter Bunny's baby).

she
- Spent most of the weekend gazing adoringly (and sometimes a little suspiciously) at her Pa. 
- Ate (i.e. sucked on) her first foods! Cucumber, avocado, toast...
- Wore wintery clothes for the first time.
- Played with her brother's hanging feet while having a little kick on the carpet at Nanma & Pa's church on Easter Sunday morning. 
- Had her first proper snotty nose, poor cherub, but managed to smile and enjoy all of the attention and entertainment.

me
- Relaxed at the annual Good Friday picnic, which relocated to a friend's gorgeous house due to wet wet wet weather.
- Was thoroughly relieved to have lovely, happy car trips from Brisbane to Toowoomba and back again.
- Had fun implementing our family's Easter traditions.
- Enjoyed a pub dinner with good friends.
- Had a sugar-free (fructose-free) Easter. (I still received some awesome thoughtful Easter-egg-ish presents. One has a chocolaty taste, the other has an Easter egg shape!)
