Happy Easter!

As a child, Easter was one of my favorite holidays. We would all go to Church, then go to my Grandparents house and have an Easter hunt with my sister and cousin. That was So much fun! I miss those days a lot.

We missed the local egg hunt this year. I looked it up on the website as I did last year. And, it said the times. So, I called to confirm and pre-register as I did last year. The man that answered told me a totally different time and that we just need to come down. Well, when we got there, it was all over with. Bummer. I have to say I wasn't that surprised.

Here we are coloring eggs. Last year, he wanted nothing to do with it. So, I thought this year, I would try painting the eggs. He did a much better job. He got really upset when one cracked.



So, there is the finished product. The two 'marble' looking ones are the ones Braeden did. They turned out the best, I thought! (the eggs never completely dried with all the paint on it) ha ha!

So, we took Braeden to the mall to get his picture done with the Easter Bunny. He did such a great job. While Rob and I waited in line, Linda strolled him around in a cart. He hopped right up on his lap, gave him a hug, smiled and was just a great experience!
Here's the picture. He's so dang cute, if I must say so myself. :)

Easter morning, Rob woke Braeden and I up. I had fallen asleep with him, apparently. We went downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny had left him. He was so excited! Nothing like a sugar high on Easter morning!


So, off to Linda's we go. She had about 6 baskets for him, not kidding and a bunch of clothes and shoes. This kid is s-p-o-i-l-e-d!



And, we are off for the hunt. Arista and I hid the eggs we colored in Linda's yard. These were my favorite spots/colors.







Whew! What a day!

Arista hates getting her picture taken. I know this. So, I snapped my camera over and over and over at her....

This pic is for her! The funniest one! The breeze picked up and I got her smiling! ha ha

This is my 1 year Anniversary blogging! I remember Easter last year was around my first one. I have enjoyed it over the last year, I just hope I can continue doing so after the next baby comes.
