Our Easter

Our Easter celebration was wonderful. The day prior the weather was rainy and gloomy so I was a bit nervous that we would have to have an indoor egg hunt but thankfully the weather let up and it was beautiful outside. In the morning we got the kiddos ready and we headed out for church. We decided to try and make it to the 8am Mass and with two kids we now know that that is pretty much impossible for us, we showed up around 8:20ish. Not too bad. We really haven’t taken the kids with us to Mass lately only because there is no children’s center for them to go to and no cry room for us to sit in. Luckily we had only one meltdown from Nicolas but that we were happy with that. He was an angel aside from that little episode. I do have to say that I wanted to gobble up my children because they looked so adorable.

 

On the way home we told Nicolas the Easter bunny came to our house while we were at church, so when we got home I ran inside to set out their Easter baskets so they would be the first thing Nicolas would see. Sure enough he ran right to his and he kept saying, “WOW momma, look at that!” Priceless!

 

He really liked his new Jake toothbrush!

Of course with Raegan she didn’t know what the heck was going on but I got pictures of her with her basket just for memories.

 

 

My mother-in-law cooked everything for our lunch/dinner and I was so thankful to be able to relax and play with the kids.

 

 

After we were done devouring our delicious meal, Ryan and I went and hid eggs in our backyard and by hid I mean we just scattered most of them in our outrageously long grass so they were hidden without much effort. Others we did have a little fun with, like putting them in his Tonka trucks and in the grape vines along the side fence.

 

 

 

 

We even had Raegan find a few…

 

 

 

 

 

Having children around the holiday’s is always much more fun as the years go by.

 

Nicolas was really excited to find out what was in his plastic eggs.
Goldfish, stickers, change, and fruit snacks.
