Ren wasn't sure what this Easter business was all about. It was cute to see him take things in and then finally decide that yep, Easter is all right! He especially liked the Ukrainian food: nachynka (spelling?!), cabbage rolls, and perogies.
The Easter Bunny made several visits: to hide eggs on Friday night, to drop off baskets on Saturday night while the kids were sleeping and again on Easter day for a basket hunt. (The Easter Bunny had a little help from Paul's parents on the latter event.) With all those opportunities for a bunny sighting, it's amazing that the kids didn't get a glimpse.
Ren was a great sport about wearing these crazy bunny ears during the Easter egg hunt!
Checking out their loot:
On Easter morning, Claire immediately opened up her basket and began pouring through the contents. Ren was more hesitant! 
But he liked what he found. Here, he's having fun with a barrel of bunnies:
The first of several notes for the basket hunt on Easter morning:
After a series of notes (Claire's on pink paper, Ren's on green), the kids finally found their baskets full of toys, stickers, stamps and other goodies.
A big thanks to Paul's parents for hosting us at Easter and helping to make it a wonderful occasion for Ren and Claire!

Boy you sure don't let grass grow under your feet. Good for you for making the treck with two little ones. Looks like you had great ideas to make Easter a blast for both of them. Care to create a little booklet for the rest of us?

How awesome an Easter! So glad Ren got to experience and learn this tradition. I hope he got to experience some of your Mom's amazing hot crossed buns too -- yummmmmmm!
Happy 3rd Birthday Claire! You're a lucky girl to spend it with family.
Great photos! It's heartwarming to see the siblings together at Easter. Ren looks like he especially enjoyed his first Easter.
