Easter weekend

Easter weekend was lots of fun.

Satch and I were still out so MiMi and Pop took the boys to the local farmers market.

The Easter bunny was there for pictures 

AND 

there were pony rides.

Griff has been asking daily often to ride a horse.

He must have forgotten his previous 2 opportunities that he ran away from his chance.

Here are my boysies with the Easter bunny.

Is it just me or is the Easter bunny typically a LOT little on the creepy side?

My favorite part of this pic?

Check out the kid in the background trying to make his escape from the 

Donny Darko bunny.  :)

Ta-Da!!!

Griff actually got on the horse and went around for 2 rides.

I am so proud of my boy...

The Easter Bunny left his mark on our house.

Over here he is not a creepy bunny, but actually quite generous!  

Bed-head boys posing with some of their loot.

The boys after church.

Roman is wearing the outfit that never was (twice) for his big brother.

I will not tell you that he was thrilled to put on a jon-jon, but he sure looked cute in it!

We then enjoyed lunch with

MiMi, Pop, Tio and Erika.

After lunch I went through the Easter story with the boys.

I had to make sure that they at least heard that Easter is not just about candy and gifts,

but rather Jesus' death and resurrection.

A few weeks before a friend had our MOPs table over to her house to make

resurrection eggs.

This was a great and interactive way to tell the story to the kids.

I think he liked the activity!

Baby Bear finally getting in on the action.

His mind was set on playing with play-dough.

Not easy to change this 1 track mind! 

 

Next up?

We had to get our "bunny on" for our Easter egg hunt.

2 cute bunnies...

And he's off...

Roman was not left out of the action

he was just more into the harder to find eggs. :)

Not too shabby Baby Bear!

Griff and Erika inspecting the eggs.

Next on the agenda?

Play-dough!

Baby Bear was now happy.

The last time Erika baby sat for the boys they played with play-dough.

Roman remembered this and insisted on doing it again!

Can you say steel trap mind?

(he is my child after all)

Such a fun day that we shared with family.

He is risen.

He is risen indeed...
