This was our second year of going to meet the Easter bunny and enjoy some yummy pancakes with our good friends, the Greulochs. Last year, Drew didn't like the bunny and wouldn't go near him, but this year it was MUCH better. I think having his girlfriend there helped as well as the fact that he was able to watch the bunny while we ate and see that he was harmless.
The problem this year was quite different and not what you'd expect. We literally had the weakest Easter bunny in history. I'm pretty sure it had to be an 85 year old woman or at least a drunk 60 year old with no muscles. Either way, this bunny could not lift my 3 year old onto its lap.
Can you see the struggle?
I mean we're talking 35 pounds here people, it's not like I'm wanting you to pick up an 8 year old. The poor kid kept smiling throughout the entire thing and even tried to climb up onto the bunny in that last shot!
Ultimately, the final picture isn't that bad and at least the
Then it was on to picking out his bribery tool; an egg filled with candy of course!
Once lunch was over and tummies were filled, it was time for smooches and family pictures. Charlotte, however, was playing a bit hard-to-get that afternoon.
My feet were beyond excited to be in sandals and I just love my stud in a button down and Sperry's.
Love the family pics! Too funny about the weak Easter bunny!

this is too cute - what a fabulous tradition :)
ReplyDeleteHa! That is so funny about the weak Easter bunny! A 95 year old lady picked Trenton up (nearly 50 pounds) to put him on her lap on our nursing home visit. That poor Easter bunny should be embarrassed of his/her muscle power! ;-) Oh, and I LOVE the family picture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day and family memory! I think Drew looks really grown up standing next to the Easter Bunny and it's a great photo. We haven't taken Callie to see the Easter Bunny or Santa for fear of melt downs but something like this would be really great. I'll have to look around to see if I can find something like this near our new house. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat family pic!! We haven't made it to see the bunny yet hoping we will
ReplyDeleteBut not looking good lol
Super cute tradition and sweet family photo!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...an Easter Bunny that can't pick up a little kid?! He (or she) is in the wrong line of work! That is too funny. Love the photos though! The fam photo is fab too!
ReplyDeleteUm what is up with that bunny?? Poor Drew was being such a good sport but I can just hear the thoughts in his head- aren't I supposed to be on the bunny's lap?? I love this tradition you have- it looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteCute family photo!! That bunny is the first one I've seen that isn't slightly creepy looking.
ReplyDeleteLove his adorable outfit, especially the Sperry's! And so weird about the weaker-than-normal Easter Bunny! Ability to lift a child should be a job requirement! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love the picture of Drew & his lil girlyfriend. So cute! & the family picture is adorable as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously can't stand giant Easter Bunnies haha, but I must say that yours is the *least* creepy looking one I've seen all year I think! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time! I can't believe that bunny couldn't pick him up!
ReplyDeleteWe thought about going to a community wide Easter egg hunt yesterday, but the wind was a bit too much. We are planning on a making a quick trip up to Lorain on Saturday to visit the Easter basket at Lakeview Park :) A tradition that I always did as a kid and carried over to Xavier. I just hope it isn't too crowded since it is Easter weekend!
That looks so very fun! What a wimp bunny...geez. But the picture turned out so cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too much cuteness! What a little stud you have on your hands!! And you look amazing! Love the family picture! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! It looks like so much fun. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of Drew trying to sneak in a kiss! Cute!
ReplyDeleteYou had me LOLing about your weak bunny. Also, omg to that picture of him putting the moves on his girlfriend. Watch out, mama! You have a smooth little man on your hands!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I know Drew is hiding your bump, but you look amazing. I wouldn't even guess you were preggers in that family shot.
DeleteYour family shot is SO good!
ReplyDeleteEaster Bunny's freak me out -- they don't talk! Ha ha! A friend of mine took her baby and they found out the 'actor' inside was a teenager! Never would have guessed it!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of Drew and his girlfriend!!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! What a fun family tradition!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they really NEEDED to find a stronger bunny!
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures.
I'm unreasonably sad that your bunny couldn't pick up Drew. Like teary unreasonable. They should work on that...and I should pull myself together. It is a really cute pic nonetheless. And, I love your toenail polish - what is it?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the Easter bunny couldn't lift him!! But the pictures are still very cute!! My favorite one is where he hugs his girl friend.
ReplyDeleteThat bunny needs to tighten up and do some weight lifting!! Love The last photo! Y'all are one good looking family!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Hilarious that The Bunny couldn't pick him up!
