Easter & Christian's Birthday

Finally I am getting around to posting our pictures of our celebrations of Easter weekend. Benson just went down for his morning nap and Addy is sitting next to me watching Sesame Street. So I decided I better get these on here while the kids are cooperating. I forgot how much time an infant takes, but I am loving it anyways!

For playgroup we had an egg hunt for all the kids. They all had a lot fun! This was Addy's first one. Last year she couldn't walk and she and I were alone on Easter so I didn't do one for her. She loved it! She couldn't wait to open the eggs and eat all the candy! Doesn't she look so cute with her basket?

Erin took these pictures of all the kids together and of Addy and Ella. These are most of the friends Addy gets to play with every week minus five babies. We are lucky to have such great friends!

We celebrated Easter morning on Saturday this year since Christian had to work a double shift on Sunday. The Easter Bunny brought the kids some needed summer clothes and toys for outside. Addy loves her golf set that her daddy got here! She was a little disappointed the egg hunt had to be in doors since it was raining outside. But she had fun once she started collecting all the eggs. (notice Addy's pretty lipstick!)

Benson hung out all morning and watched Addy play. Addy was so sweet and shared her Elmo with him. She is such a great big sister!

I attempted to take pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits. As you can see I failed! Addy kept running away down the sidewalk. It's hard to do it with two! I normally just follow Addy around while she plays until I get a good shot, but I couldn't leave Benson. So this was the best I could do. You really can't even see what their outfits look like, just know they definitely looked cute!

Easter was also Christian's 33RD BIRTHDAY! He and I celebrated on Friday with a movie and sushi. My friend Erin watched Addy so we could spend the afternoon together. It was some much needed time together! We went to see The Bounty Hunter and to try a new sushi place. Benson slept the entire time. It was so much fun! We need to do things together more often.

We had a little family party for Christian Monday evening. Addy was so excited to help him blow out the candles! We had a BBQ and some strawberry shortcake. I thought for sure this year would be less crazy for Christian. But of course it's not! He has crazy schedules and is always on the go working so hard. Christian is an amazing dad and husband! We love him so much!

Happy Birthday babe!
