The tower in the back there is a 1/2 sized reproduction of the Giralda Tower in Spain, an ancient minaret from the Almohad mosque of Seville. (which was later turned into a Cathedral)
This is the Cheescake Factory ;)
Kansas City is known as the "City of Fountains", they are everywhere. We were too early for most of the fountains to be working, but they were still beautiful.
All the buildings were beautifully ornate.
He was so proud and excited with each egg he found. We were glad that we knew how many eggs we had to find or we would have left quite a few there! (lesson learned: always count your eggs before you hide them!)
After all the eggs were found we went right back to playing on the playgound. The park we were at is amazing. They just recently ripped out the not very old equipment and spent, like, $400,000 redoing it all. 
There is a water playground, a huge playground with connecting tunnels, a smaller playground, a walking/biking trail and a large pond,
and a tether ball court. (and that's just what we've discovered so far) We love it. 
We spent the evening dyeing eggs. Daniel was very concerned when he heard that we were "die-" ing eggs, but I think he's a fan now. I was really annoyed, because if you look at the eggs, they all have lines around the middle. They must have put something on them at the processing plant. 
Daniel's Easter basket. Just pretend you don't see the mess behind it. My sewing project is to the left and our wonderful, fabulous IBC Rootbeer is to the right. (which I'm also giving up.... I'm still caffeine free!)
I started making the rolls the night before and when I pulled out the butter these cute little cubes slipped out. I know, I know, who posts pictures of butter online, but they were just so cute and I LOVE that I don't have a whole cube ruined by being unwrapped forever. I don't really go through butter quickly at all. 
For dinner on Easter I made my first ham! I was pretty proud of myself and amazed at how easy they are! It was super yummy. 
I was working on making dessert when Daniel came into me to tell me he had to wash his hands. 
Someone had found their chocolate bunny! I'm so glad it was a smaller one, can you see the sugar induced coma coming on? I love my boy.
Happy Easter Everyone!
This is what Easter is really about to me. I'll share the frivolous stuff later. :)
"As we approach this holy week—Passover Thursday with its Paschal Lamb, atoning Friday with its cross, Resurrection Sunday with its empty tomb—may we declare ourselves to be more fully disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, not in word only and not only in the flush of comfortable times but in deed and in courage and in faith, including when the path is lonely and when our cross is difficult to bear. This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone."
~Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, None Were With Him
