Our Easter Festivities

Here's a quick catch up of the week of Easter (mostly in pictures). On Monday, we dyed our "monster" Easter eggs. Landen loved them so much that he cried when he couldn't sleep with them that night and it was the first thing he asked for when he woke up the next morning. Needless to say, by Sunday, they were all cracked!



The little "monsters" (please ignore the spongebob tablecloth, it was the only plastic one we had!)
Landen annoyed that I'm taking his picture with all his monster eggs lined up!

Saturday morning we went to the Rexburg Easter Egg Hunt. It was over in about 1 minute and Landen didn't get a single egg!!! As you can see, he's walking around confused with an empty basket. A boy took pity on him on the way out and gave him one of his eggs. It was pretty pathetic how much the parents were getting super aggressive about the whole thing and were even grabbing eggs as quickly as they could to put in their kids baskets...LAME! This is what we teach our kids?!


Anyway, I felt pretty bad for Landen that he didn't really get to experience a hunt, so we hid some eggs in the backyard and let Landen find them all. He LOVED it!

The basket's getting heavy (don't worry, we're taking one for the team and helping him eat all his candy ;)


Easter morning, Landen woke up to his surprise from the Easter Bunny. We even let him pick something to take to church. On a side note, the magic colors markers are amazing! I love that they don't color on anything but the special paper!!


My boys looking all handsome in their Easter best. I love that we found a cheap suit for Landen, he loos adorable in it! And, Landen's actually smiling, he usually hates the camera!


Finally our Easter feast. I was quite proud of myself how well the lamb roast turned out this year! Even Landen asked for more!!!


The fancy table setting (a minute before, Landen had set the table with his cars, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera)

Well that stinks that the Easter egg hunt wasn't that great. I am glad that he had fun by himself later. You are such a good sport to help him eat his candy:) I hope all goes well with your baby. When do you guys move?
