Easter 2014

Just before Easter, my great friend Lori and I met for coffee at Woodfield with our youngest boys in tow.  There was no line for the bunny, so we figured we'd get some fun photos! Tyler was all smiles - wish I could say the same for that bunny?!?
It was a lovely Easter!  I always love when spring finally arrives and Easter is always such a nice way to usher it in.  We started off the Easter season by decorating some eggs at home.  We chose to do this during Tyler's nap, as we had a hard time envisioning it going smoothly with our 18-month old in the mix! Next time, Tyler!  But the older two had loads of fun and we enjoyed eating hard boiled eggs for a few days thereafter.  Our church held a basket blessing and Easter egg hunt, which the kids really loved.  Tyler was not too certain of the Easter bunny who walked around the courtyard greeting kids, he kept his distance!  But they had fun running around with friends and the adults got to chat a little too.  On Easter morning, they awoke to 3 hidden baskets, which they quickly found and had fun sifting through the surprises.  We went to a joyful church service and then went out to Grammy and Grandpa Brown's house for the afternoon, and Grammy had her annual Easter egg hunt set up in the yard.  All sorts of goodies were hidden in the eggs!  It was a peaceful day, as it should be, and we are ready now to usher in spring!
