Easter Weekend

I know this post is a little late, but better late than never!
We had a fun Easter weekend home. This year Micah was on call the Saturday before Easter, so we had to stay home this year...but it was nice to have the hunt here and go to our own church. Plus we were able to celebrate the weekend before with our families, so it's the best of both worlds (as best as we can). On Holy Saturday, Micah's church was having an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, so I got the boys ready to go to that. Aiden wore his bunny ears from the Mall visit, but they didn't last too long this time ;)

Devin was ready to go too! However they weren't set up for babies to hunt, so I got a short video of him "finding" an egg after the commotion calmed down. He still enjoyed himself!

It was nice because they had different age groups set up in different rooms, and they told the kids how many eggs to "find" to make it fair for everyone. Aiden was funny because as you can see, there are eggs ALL over the place. He would pick one up and then run to another area and pick up another one, so on and so forth...In the end he did finally get his 10 eggs, even though it took him awhile, when in fact it could have been over very fast. He had fun. I was busy videoing and keeping tabs on Devin amongst all the chaos, so there weren't many pictures taken here.

Aiden got to play games for more prizes and candy after the hunt. Devin was content throwing his egg around and chasing it down ;)

Playing Games

Not as cute Easter Bunny photo as last time, but cute nonetheless!

That night we set out some carrot cake for the Easter Bunny...I think it was a big hit :)

Somehow I was able to get Aiden out of the house without noticing all the stuff the Easter Bunny left. I knew it would be better for church if he didn't know quite what was waiting for him at home. And they did pretty good. Don't my men look handsome??

Out for breakfast (we beat the rush!)

Goofy boy!

Finally home to find the bunnies and goodies.

The boys got some fun things, and they had a great time finding their eggs around the house. You can see on the table the note the Easter Bunny left for the boys thanking them for the cake and celebrating that Christ is Risen!

Devin got this mailbox while Aiden got other age appropriate surprises.

All in all we had an awesome weekend, and the boys had a lot of fun while learning all about the wonderment and miracle of Easter!

Hope you had a great Easter too! :)

Playing Hide and Seek

Aiden has been having a lot of fun playing hide and seek with Micah these past few days. A lot of the time he's hiding under the table or behind the couch. He's terrible about giggling way too loud or saying "I'm going to hide here". He also tries to tell you where to hide "you hide right here!" We keep telling him that the hider gets to choose their own hiding spot. This time he made Micah and I crack up so much! Aiden told Micah to count and he...well look for yourself:

Then he continues to uncover himself and say "Daddy, you need to look in all the doors".

So here is Micah "looking" for Aiden-but I think Devin found him first! haha :)
It was soooo funny I had to take pictures and get it on the blog!

My Easter Bunny

Since Micah won't let me get a dog-the only choice I have is to subject my poor children to dressing up for the holidays, and Easter is no exception. I bought this sleeper for Aiden's first Easter, and unfortunately it was a bit too small for Devin's first Easter. However he was able to tolerate it for a few minutes here and there...sort of ;)
It was too cute not to take photos!

There's a happy bunny!

When I was little, my neighbor made my sisters and I some bunny baskets (the purple one). After I had Aiden, my dad went ahead and copied the design and made one for him and Micah. Then he made one for Devin this year. I think they are so cute, and I think it's wonderful that I still have my original bunny (my sisters do too).

hehehe

how cute is he?

Easter Grass!

yummy!

Tired bunny

Mom, I'm done...get this thing off me!
He was so happy when I took it off...poor little guy! Too cute not to though ;)

Easter Bunny

The boys and I had a fun afternoon. I took them to our mall so we could get their picture with the Easter Bunny. Aiden actually reminded me that the Easter Bunny is at the mall (I don't know where he got that from, since I hadn't mentioned it-nor have we been to the mall recently). But I knew I wanted to take them since this is Devin's first Easter.
Aiden had a fun day at preschool with an egg hunt his teacher had set up for them. Plus it was Aiden's snack day, so we made all the kids treat bags for Easter. Then we got to go to the mall! We saw the bunny first, which is a good thing because after we saw him, he left and wasn't coming back for 3 hours! Then we had lunch and then they got to run around in the play area. Needless to say they are both sound asleep :) Good thing too because we have church tonight. I'm hoping Aiden's discipline for sitting still continues, as we have a lot of services to go to this Holy Week.
Here are some fun photos of the kids playing, and then the Easter Bunny pictures at the end!

Devin gets around quite well now, and wants to join in with the action! I don't even bother trying to keep him still in one place anymore

Funny mirror...he was pretty cute with this.

That baby looks just like me!

silly faces

After seeing the Easter Bunny, they gave Aiden these ears...he wore them the whole time we were there! I took them off before he went to play so they didn't get ruined. Right now they are on his train table, where all his precious things go while he sleeps-so he can still be near them ;)

I tried to take a few shots of my own for a little variety, but as always, its the mom who needs to get the babies to smile...

So I left it up to the professionls to get the good shot while I hopped around like a crazy mom to get the kids to smile :)
I thought it turned out pretty cute!
