Easter Brunch at the Carey's


After the Easter Bunny dropped off the baskets and a few pink and purple eggs (exact numbers for each child of course), we headed to San Marino to Ginny and Tim's for Easter Brunch. It was fantastic! Funny how the Easter Bunny knew that the girls would be at Ginny's that day because he dropped off a whole trunk full of eggs for the Ryan and Charlie to go on a hunt. It started from the moment we got out of the car. The girls started finding eggs out by where we parked and in the driveway... they were in heaven!


One of Charlie's first finds.


Ryan is so excited that the Easter Bunny got my phone call about going to Ginny's. She was very, very nervous that he wouldn't know where we would be on Easter.

The girls literally ran through the house to the front yard for more and more eggs to find.
Heav-en!


Ginny and Tim have a huge front yard that was blooming with beautiful flowers everywhere. It was the perfect "stage" for the perfect Easter egg hunt!


That sneaky bunny hid eggs in the cut-outs in the side of the house!


Look who found the Golden Egg!
This was a new tradition for me but the Coleman family (and my hubby growing up) has been doing it for ages. One "golden" egg is hidden that has lots of money inside! Ryan was the lucky recipient this year.


Well, then we had to distract Ryan because a certain somebody was sad that she didn't find the Golden Egg so Aunt Casey quickly got to work on a solution.


Then, while the big girl-super-hunter was good and distracted another Golden Egg miraculously appeared very close to Charlie's proximity! She was the happiest girl in the world with her Golden Egg!

Tim, the resident chef cooked a fabulous brunch for everyone.



Grammy, Marzie, Ryan, and Gigi hang out on the patio before brunch is served.



Brunch is served! Here is Lindy and Grammy enjoyed the yummy feast!



Charlie had the pleasure of sitting with Marzie at brunch.



Ryan got to sit next to Gigi. They were both so well behaved.


After brunch, the girls tested out their new swimsuits in the pool!


All I have to say is...Real men wear pink!


Thanks for having us Carey Family! We felt so blessed to be a part of your special day!

Yep, the Carey's outdid themselves as usual! But I have to tell you, Easter has a whole new meaning when there are little ones around!
So much fun! Xo

What a beautiful background for a very festive family Easter Brunch. Great pictures and lots of smiles by all with another surprise visit by the Easter Bunny? And, two Golden Eggs! How lucky are the Grace girls? Pretty darn lucky and life can't get better than that. - Love Mom & Dad
