An Easter Mystery at 3 in the Morning!

Easter morning, 3 am we were awakened by our girls who were checking to see if the Easter Bunny had brought them any goodies. The girls had checked out their Easter baskets and had were helping themselves to bowls of cereal. . . at 3 am! They also woke up their brothers to share the good news. . . at 3 am! After being sent back to bed on a sugar high (from all the Easter candy they ate) they went back to sleep until about 7 am. Does anyone else's kids get up this early, is or is just ours? (This wasn't the first time!)

The mystery came later when we discovered that the eggs full of candy that the Easter Bunny had so carefully placed in our 4 kids Easter baskets had mysteriously disappeared. We searched the house for the missing jelly beans and chocolate eggs and grilled the kids, waiting for one of them to crack under pressure. I'm suspicious that they may have ended up in our 4-year-old Emma's little tummy, although I can't prove it.

Despite the mystery of the missing Easter candy going unsolved, we had a wonderful Easter visiting North Point Church in Springfield and meeting my family for lunch at Ryan's Steakhouse. The weather was gorgeous. All in all it was a truly blessed Easter!
