Pre-Easter Festivities

March 8, 2018 by Rebecca Whitehead

Our community Easter Festival was just a quick stroller ride away, and it was nice to be able to walk down there, since the place was packed with hordes of kids. While standing in line to hold a spot for the toddler portion of the Easter egg hunt for 45 minutes, along with everyone else in town, I kept wondering why we weren’t skipping the madness and having our own pre-Easter egg hunt at home… but by then, the kids weren’t going anywhere! While I waited in line, the girls met the Easter bunny and tried out all the bouncy houses and carnival games, so I guess I wasn’t missing out on much.

Ready, set, go!

Not much of a hunt when the eggs are just scattered all over the grass.

This really needs to be more challenging, guys.

Once Meredith realized there wasn’t any candy in the eggs (just small toys), she dumped her entire basket out!

A volunteer helped her put them back, but she wasn’t really interested in keeping them!

No, really, I don’t want these!

For the older kids, they did several different “hunts” which you had to get tickets for in advance, so there wasn’t a line. Why they didn’t do that for the toddler hunt, I have no idea.

Again, not much of a hunt!

Meredith LOVES garbage trucks and will run from wherever she is inside the house on trash day to see it pull up to our curb.

WHAT IS ON MY FACE?!

Let’s frolic!

Lots of love,

Bunny Breakfast

March 1, 2018 by Rebecca Whitehead

Our Moms of Multiples Club throws an annual private Bunny Breakfast at South Coast Plaza and everyone was excited to meet the Easter Bunny! It’s always adorable to see so many twins and triplets dressed up in coordinating outfits, and now that I’m the one with “older” twins, I can actually sit down and enjoy the catered breakfast while trying to help the moms with twin babies as much as possible! I used to look at those moms with the older twins with envy and would always bombard them with questions asking for advice, but now I’m always a little taken aback now that I’m that mom and people with little twins come to me with questions! Time flies.

Previous years…

2014:

2015:

2016: My parents took the twins while we stayed home with baby Meredith. Samantha was a little distrustful of robot bunny.

2017: Meredith did not want anything to do with the creepy animatronic bunny!

2018: This year, the girls interacted with the scary robot bunny, answering his questions and even giving him a hug.

The Bunny Breakfast happened to fall on the day before St. Patrick’s and the twins had a leprechaun celebration at preschool right after breakfast, so we opted for green outfits.

Looking through the wishing well.

Free carousel rides are basically the main reason we’ve come every year.

So nice that the girls are old enough to sit down and be content with craft projects all by themselves. Even though we only had to watch Meredith, she still somehow ended up with marker all down her legs.

Easter Festivities

I don’t have much to say about all the Easter activities the twins went to this year, since I wasn’t around for most of them. While I always enjoy peaceful mornings with Meredith, I missed being with the girls for our usual activities.

Grandma and Grandpa were in town for the girls’ birthday and took them to the annual Moms of Multiples Club Bunny Breakfast, while Jake took charge the rest of the month.

2016: Sad to not be there this year!

Thanks for taking us, Grammy and Grandpa!

Jake went with the girls to our local Easter egg “hunt” and prepped the girls beforehand on competitive egg collecting.

Surprise, surprise! Samantha declined to sit by the Easter bunny without Daddy by her side. Note Amelia’s ladylike leg-crossing pose.

Amelia was the only one brave enough to sit solo last year, too!

Even with Daddy, Samantha sat for a picture against her will.

Same deal last year!

For the first year, the girls were old enough to try out the bungy. I was highly entertained receiving all the pictures Jake texted me while I was home with Meredith!

The one Easter-related activity I actually made it to this year was a little hunt Amy organized for some of our neighborhood friends. Nate looks a little outnumbered!

Not as many friends last year, but we still had fun. All the girls have grown so much.

Hanging with their buddy, Camdyn.

Amelia and Samantha were so sweet helping Quincy find some eggs…

…After running around like crazy collecting the majority of the eggs for themselves first, that is. Proof Meredith was there for her first neighborhood Easter egg hunt!
