Easter Surprise

The day was Sunday, April 12, 1992 and it will be a day a will never forget. It started out as a warm Easter morning. It smelt like freshly cut grass and blooming flowers. You could hear Robins, Cardinals, and Blue Jays singing. Squirrels were chasing each other, and bunnies were hopping around and occasionally nibbling on the green blades of grass. I got up at a little after 9:30 A.M. I went to go and look in my Easter basket.

I looked in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and even in the basement, but I could not find it. I was about to give up when I heard foil being tore away and crumpled. I knew that someone had my Easter basket. I tore away to find where the noise was coming from. I finally tracked the sound from the outside in the front yard. I ran outside to the front yard. I was wearing my pink bunny pajamas! I was 5 at the time. I looked around the yard until my eyes fell upon none other than….squirrels. "Get away from that it's mine" I screamed right as I saw them. They had already eaten two chocolate bunnies. I ran as fast as I could yelling "Shoo, Shoo go away!" along the way. When I came close to them they started chasing me!! I ran as fast as I could scream "AAAWWW….. MOMMY…DADDY…. HELP…..SQUIRRLES!!!!" "AAAWWW….HELP!!!'' I screamed. I ran down one side of the street and up the other side. I kept on thinking what's wrong with the squirrels? Where are my Mom and Dad?

About five minutes of me yelling, screaming, and running my Mom and Dad came out of the house and saved me from the squirrels. "Where were you?" I demanded to know. "We were inside eating breakfast like you should have been." My Mom told me. "I I wa wanted my Easter basket" I said as I started to cry. "Ohhh… it's ok Mommy's here." She said to me as she soothed me. All the while Daddy was laughing. "What are you laughing at?" I demanded. "Bells, you were chased by small, cute, fluffy squirrels, how can I not laugh?" he told me. I was getting mad. "Well number one… they are not cute and nice. They are mean and evil!" "They are not evil. "He told me. "They are too!!" I told him.

A few hours later my Aunt Selena and my Uncle Brom came over and brought my half cousin Murtag and my cousin Eragon. Murtag was 8 years old and Eragon was 5 years old like me. We were playing together until my other Aunt and Uncle, Aunt Miranda and Uncle Aron came over. I like playing with Arya, Adicus, and Meggie, their kids. Arya and Adicus are 6 years old and are twins, and Meggie is 5 like Eragon and me. After we talked for a few minutes and us kids went outside to look for eggs. We were in teams of two. The teams were Eragon and I, Arya and Adicus, and Meggie and Murtag. Eragon and I had 10 brightly colored plastic eggs. I looked up. "Er I see 6 eggs up in the tree!" I told him. "Cool!! How are we going to get them down?" he asked me. "Uhh.. Here I will get on your shoulders and we get them down that way, ok?" I told him. "Ok," he told me. I got on Eragon's shoulders and we started swaying back and forth. We finally fell into the tree and the eggs fell on our heads and got smashed. As it turned out the eggs were robin's eggs and not plastic eggs. I ran crying to my Mom and Dad and Eragon ran crying to them to, his Mom and Dad were on a drive through town. "Go take a shower and get the yoke and egg shells off of you." "Ok." we told them and we went to take a shower. I spent the rest of the day under my bed hiding from squirrels and eggs. I did not even come down for dinner until my Mom and Dad said "Isabella Marie Swan! You come down here this instance or I swear I will get a squirrel!!!" "Ok!!" I said quickly and ran down stairs to eat dinner.
