We had a great Easter this year! Christian and I gave the kids their baskets a week early because we were leaving for vacation. The kids both enjoyed their baskets and the Easter egg hunt around our house. I gave the kids each a new outfit for spring. Addy held up her dress and wanted to put it on right away. Once it was on, she didn't really like it. She said to me " how about we give this to another big girl instead." It really made me laugh! I love her honesty.
Benson really enjoyed throwing the eggs around. I got some that were shaped like different sports balls, which he really liked. Once he figured out there was candy in the eggs he was so happy! He would open the egg, eat the treat, throw the egg, and then crawl to the next one.
The day before Easter, we got together with Christian's family to celebrate Jenson's 1st birthday. We met at the park for lunch and cake and ice cream. It was a really cold windy day, but that didn't stop the kids from running around, playing, and hunting for eggs.
I got a picture of all the grandkids but Holden. He was too quick for me! My kids are so lucky to have such amazing cousins to play with. After the park, we went to Christian's parents house to
extend the party indoors. Nanny Jamie and Papa Dave gave all the kids their Easter surprises.
Addy got to color her first Easter eggs this year with Nanny Jamie. I forgot our coloring kits so grandma let us use hers. Addy loved watching the eggs change different colors. She didn't want to take the eggs out until she was done stirring them. She decorated the eggs with a few stickers and put them in a bowl for everyone to see.
Easter morning we went to church and then to my parents house for brunch. My mom made lots of yummy food! My family gave my kids their Easter gifts and we had another egg hunt. This time it was just Addy collecting all the eggs. She got some money in her eggs to buy her a sand castle set for Hawaii. She was so excited!
Addy really loved her new dress up stuff and wore it all afternoon. She really loved the hat! My kids both really loved the new books which were perfect for our airplane ride. Thanks to both of our families for the fun weekend and for the gifts. We were so lucky to be able to be with our families on Easter!
