A Post of Pictures

We really did, I promise. We really did celebrate Easter around here this year.
I'll just let the pictures do the talkin'.

We dyed Easter Eggs....
Note: I have plenty of pictures, but none of the final product! :) My egg dying skills were lacking this year. Graham was there too, I promise. He was just asleep during most of it.













And we hunted and hunted Easter Eggs!













I couldn't believe how well Lila understood the concept of picking up the egg and putting it in the basket. She loved it! She even swiped several from her cousins baskets when they weren't looking. Luckily, she is at the age where it doesn't matter to her if there is anything in them or not.
I am feeling a little guilty that I don't have many pictures of Graham with any Easter eggs, baskets, etc. He wasn't quite sitting alone by himself yet and he isn't too fond of being on his belly. Basically, the boy just likes to be held. :)

Along with celebrating Easter, we have lots of April birthdays to celebrate in my family: My Husband, My Mom, My Dad, My Brother -in law (both of them if you count David's early May birthday), My father in law, both my grandmothers, 2 nieces, and 1 nephew. I also have several cousins in April, but I can't keep up with that.
Here is wishing Rileigh and my dad a Happy Birthday today!

We got to celebrate the big #3 for this little boy:


Ok, back to my post: Basically, once again, it was go, go, go in Morristown. We actually got to see every member of our immediate family, so that was nice to have everyone in. The kids had a great time! Lila didn't stop the whole time we were home. She also made me look as though I have absolutely no control of my children. :) Kids sure are good at that, aren't they? I think I actually caught a few members of my family secretly snickering. I just knew they were thinking... what goes around, comes around.





Lila thought it would be fun to bring all of her bunnies to her brother. He doesn't seem to mind.







Lila really enjoyed going through both hers AND Graham's Easter baskets.
I, of course, loved getting them all dolled up for Easter Sunday.
Here are some last pictures of my babies and our family to top off this lengthy post!










Even with all the hoopla, we still remember what this holiday is all about.
HE IS RISEN!

Where is daddy going?

We have been preparing for daddy's mission trip around here.
(Why is it they never perform for the camera like they do around the house?)

Here comes Peter Cottontail...

Lila loves this song. She even has a bath towel with bunny ears and she will pretend she is a "bunny rabbit."
So of course we took the kids to see the Easter Bunny!
Lila kept running up to the stage to see him and even tried to cut line by climbing on up.
YES, she loves to talk about the bunny rabbit, but boy she changed her tune when it came time to sit on his lap.

Graham is looking at her like she is crazy.
He thinks the Easter Bunny's lap is pretty cozy.


Luckily, ole EB was up for holding "two babies". Aren't Graham and "baby Jenna" cute?


Graham is going to kill me one day for putting these ears on him.



Just a glimspe...

I wish you all could see what I wake up to each morning. Every day is a
gift. Here is a glimpse of the little blessings we have been given.
