Easter 2013

Beware of photo overload!!!

 

We had a wonderful Easter weekend as a family of 3 1/2! ;) I love being able to start our own traditions - and carry on a mix between both of our families. It's fun being on 'this end' of things - making each holiday special and kinda *magical*.

 

Treats I wanted to try and make - they were yummmm!

Took some to our sweet neighbors!

 



Cadbury egg hidden inside!

Egg dying with Daddy!

Landon did great with help of course - definitely messsyyyy - all of our fingers were colored.

Every time he put a new egg in he'd go "Oooohhhh! wowwwww!!!"

The neighborhood next to ours was having an Egg Hunt, Easter Bunny visit and Petting Zoo for the kids. We only made it as far as the playscape and he was all about playin' around instead of the Egg Hunt. Fine with us - great weather and morning to get out and about!

Slide!

Handsome little sweetie...

 

We did not attempt a Bunny picture last year - as a kid I always screamed with Santa and the Bunny so I never feel like I have to get Landon to take a picture with either. However, when it wasn't crowded I thought we should give it a try... and here's how it went...

What's in the basket?

He's looking at daddy - can I go see the bunny?



Here's an egg!

Cute bunny picture!!!!!

Yay! He was such a HAM - "Cheese" and looked right at me so I could snap this!

 

Easter Morning. Basket out.

Easter basket goodies!
Cookie Monster, bubble gun, giant coloring book, toddler bible. :)

He loves sitting in the boppy... checking out the bubbles.

Woah!

 

It's tough with only 3 of us together to get a family picture. Tried to do the self timer thing with no success. Oh well! These will do! 

Had to take turns with pictures... baby boys say Happy Easter! ;)
26 wks on Easter.

Couldn't get him to look - - handsome daddy and son!

Finding eggs around the house - he caught on to the 'game' pretty well!

Found more!

Yes the vaccum is out - it 'encourages' me to clean. Right?

 

cutie with his Elmo basket - he thought finding the eggs was so fun!

 



Love this song by Matt Maher about Easter!
 

Yes the bunny and egg hunting and gifts are fun - however I know this time next year Landon will be learning and hopefully trying to grasp all that Jesus did for us. I cannot wait to see this little boy (and his brother) grow to love Christ and become a Godly boy and someday man!

It's a wonderful life!
