Easter bunny cometh


Easter Saturday was spent playing inside and outside, enjoying our family and stuffing baskets once little kiddies dropped off to sleep. I love our weekends on the farm having big breakfast, playing outside and just relaxing. We have so much fun together and it is like the outdoors is their TV. Below are some fun shots of the kids being silly and one with Ethan "reading" to Jason on our bed. He takes such incredible care of his brother and Jason wants to do everything Ethan does.











On Easter Sunday, we started the day with our own little egg hunt here at home, feeding animals and getting all dressed up for church. We then went to Brad and Trish's for another hunt with Aaron before we all headed over to Uncle Mikey's for a wonderful dinner and some soccer in the yard. The grandparents were there as well and Aunt Marie had a great time playing doctor with Jason. He was so cute!

Pre-Easter festivities










Maw Maw and Paw Paw came up the week before Easter and we had a great time. We cooked out with some great steaks they brought and enjoyed some time with Aunt Susan and the boys.

Thanks to Joyce, the boys did a craft and created a homemade bunny mask on a stick. They had such fun and Jason was so serious when he was gluing his cotton and eyes. We really enjoyed having everyone.


The next day, we went to my parent's place for some egg hunting fun in prep for the Easter Bunny.


Here is Jason's first experience with truly finding (and eating) what comes in the eggs.


After we ran Grandpa and Mommy ragged, we took a break on the steps to count our loot and have a snack.


First he opens the egg and eats the one small item inside. Now this is Jason so that is not near enough to satisfy his snackish tendencies (like father like son, you know).


Our next step is to see if there is more in there somewhere he missed. Nope, still nothing. Closer inspection, nope...nada.

Then he listens as he shakes it, in the event that his eyes were none functioning. Nope, STILL nothing!

Finally, we hold them up REALLY close since he is sure there is something in here he just has not been able to uncover.
