Easter 2012

We had a very busy weekend that included Belle's 1st birthday, Logan's 6th birthday, 2 soccer games, and the culmination was Easter! The kids were very excited about Easter.  

They had many discussions about the Easter bunny and decided we needed to hang some signs.  Peyton, who is terrified of anything in a costume, was mostly concerned with the Easter Bunny coming upstairs while she was sleeping.  So they agreed they needed to put a "No Bunnys Upstairs Ples (please)" sign.  

After the mess Lucky the Leprechaun left I told them we needed to hand a sign for the bunny so he would remember to wipe his paws before coming in! 

Baskets were simple this year however the kids didn't seem to mind! Peyton loved all her princess stuff and of course her candy!

Logan was very excited about his Power Ranger mini figures (actually Mega Block brand but they fit with Legos too!)

I big girl sippy and a bag of goldfish, what else does a 1 year old need??

The bunny was a lot trickier this year with the egg hiding! He drove the power wheels over one of Duffy's digging holes and left eggs UNDER the truck!

How many eggs can a baby hold?? It was amazing to watch her try to stand up while holding all three! She only made it about 2 steps before she dropped them.

Good thing daddy hasn't cut the grass lately, those eggs hid real well in the tall grass of the "garden"

The basket is more fun when you wear it as a belt...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture! Best friends, helping each other find their eggs.  I know in the years to come we will have ups and downs with all of the kids, but moments like this make me thankful we braved having kids so close together because I think they will be the best of friends! 

Logan's last egg was a toughy! They looked and looked and finally found it! He must of dropped it in the "engine" compartment when he reattached the battery to move it over Duffy's hole!

Unfortunately it is getting harder and harder to get a good picture of the kids! Here they are in their Easter best! (When did they get so BIG?)

Belle humored me for a bit and even wore a headband! 

The sun makes it hard for a non-squinty outdoor picture... Yes they brought their baskets to church...

After church we celebrated with a group of friends, had another egg hunt, and ate a wonderful meal! And among all the eggs and bunnies were a few lessons on the true meaning of Easter.  It was indeed a very Happy Easter!!

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
