How cool is this? Check out my neighbor, Matthew, riding in on his motorcycle with the “Easter Bunny” waving to the kids in the sidecar…Only on Calle De Madera! 🙂

We are so lucky to live on such a wonderful cul de sac. Since many of us don’t have family nearby, Collette and I decided that we should do a potluck brunch and Easter Egg hunt for the kids of CdM. A simple email was all it took, and Voila! A beautiful Easter day was had by all. Our neighbors and many friends went all out, bringing the most amazing food, a spread that three tables could barely hold, and many restaurants would be jealous of! We really had a great party in the street, with probably about 20 kids and at least 20 adults including neighbors and friends in on all the fun.

Bella was pretty stoked in the morning when she got THREE easter baskets filled with fun surprises. She keeps telling Kristine that everything new was brought by the “easter bunny”. Then, she participated in the hunt with the other kiddos as well, although I think she was more interested in opening each egg and seeing what surprise it held, than actually hunting for the next. It was a great Easter day, all in all – even with a big earthquake in the afternoon rocking and rolling us awake during naptime.
