Easter Bliss 2009
Happy Easter! Christ Is Risen!!
Easter REALLY snuck up on me this year, but we made it! We made sure to embrace every moment of the holiday as possible.
Yesterday, we woke up and dyed Easter eggs together. Have I mentioned how much I love my family? Connor and Jordyn had so much fun picking out which pretty color to make their eggs. Jordyn's favorite thing to do was slam it down in the dye to hear the (CRACK) and then watch it magically change colors. Connor's favorite thing to do was dip his egg in every color to make it eggstra colorful. It drives his artistic Daddy INSANE!
After we colored our eggs, we went to see the Easter Bunny. Connor handed him a Reese's Egg and the Bunny gave him a HUGE hug. Connor then decided that this 6 foot bunny wasn't as scary and intimidating as he originally anticipated. Jordyn...Not so much. She pet him on the head and said,"awww he's cute."I tried to put her on his lap and she looked up at me with her huge blue eyes and said,"NUH-UH!" So we took a family portrait! Then we talked about it the rest of the day.
We ended our evening with a beautiful church service. I love the tradition that our church teaches. I do not however enjoy the children during a 2 hour church service at bedtime. The kids looked so darn cute, and had every intention of behaving, but around 9:30 my blood pressure was off the charts. Thank God I brought their jammies with us to church. Before we headed out the door we performed a quick change and they were asleep before their heads hit the pillow.
Patrick and got to stay up late working side by side with the fuzzy bunny. Patrick and I wrote the the clues out for the scavenger hunt, made up baskets and hid eggs. Really...Nothing better! I know I say it all the time, but this was the best Easter ever! The kids are more fun every year and I look forward to these traditions now more than ever!
This morning, the kids woke up and searched for their baskets. They scarffed candy and played with toys. We are taking a break right now, but in a few minutes they get to do their egg hunt outside!! I am so excited for this! It's so sunny and beautiful. A little chilly, but we never get to do anything outside on Easter so this will be special.
As I sit here sipping my coffee, I feel a little selfish. I am pretty sure I enjoy this sooo much more than the kids do. Not that their complaining! Gotta run, Jordyn just bit the ear off of her chocolate bunny and she thinks he's in Pain! "It needs medicine Mom!" ;)
