    Easter Weekend 2015

    Anyone else been busy picking up every last strand of easter grass and the foil from those little chocolate covered eggs. Whoever created these things obviously doesn’t have children. Or they hate parents everywhere. We started off our easter festivities earlier in the week with an egg hunt at a local park. We were also supposed to do a flashlight egg hunt but it got rained out. We tried a new tie-dye egg kit this year and they turned out so cute. Ben was able to help with every step of the process and Jack was able to help with dying but not before he managed to sneak a lick…

    Easter 2014

    This Easter was one of the best yet. We went to church, hosted Easter lunch for my side of the family, and then traveled to J’s aunt’s house for dinner and another egg hunt. I love Pottery Barn’s Easter baskets and ordered Jack the white one to match Ben’s. When I got it in the mail this week I realized I ordered Jack the large sized basket. I ended up just turning the embroidered names to the back and made Jack’s the little one. I plan to order Ben the larger basket for next year so they’ll match.  I love Jack’s little hand reaching for his goodies. For the table…

    Easter Sunday 2013

     Ben was up bright and early on Easter morning ready to see what the Easter Bunny had brought him.  We went to church to celebrate the real reason for Easter and then went over to my parent’s house for lunch and an indoor egg hunt since it was rainy.  That afternoon we went to J’s parent’s house since the Easter bunny left a basket there as well. And then it was off to J’s aunt’s house with the rest of his family. You would think it was Christmas with all the goodies Ben got, including his first T-ball glove and bat! Cousins The most exciting part…the Egg Hunt! I hope…
