What is Easter without a visit from the Easter Alligator. For those unfamiliar with the Easter Alligator I'll attempt to explain. He's a newer family tradition, in that he didn't start making his yearly visits until I was in my teens but ever since has snuck in as soon as the Easter Bunny has left. You'd know if the Easter Alligator had stopped by your house because he leaves a trail of chocolaty foot prints (thankfully only on hard surfaces, never carpets) leading to a chocolate bunny bitten in half with a note announcing his visit. I think in his early years he was a little more ominous and may have really been out to get the Easter Bunny but that wasn't really kid friendly so he's developed into more of a mischevious figure out to eat candy. Either way I'm pretty sure he made his first visit to New Jersey this year.
Bridget was excited to get at the candy. She doesn't crawl or scooch or do anything reliably yet but when she saw all that stuff on the ground she went for it.
The spoils.
So excited to be eating chocolate!
The aftermath
All cleaned up and ready for church
