Happy Easter Weekend!

It has been a long, but fun weekend celebrating Easter! We don't forget the reason why we are celebrating (and we are very thankful for that reason), however, you wouldn't think we were very good Christians when we showed up in our Sunday best either an hour late or an hour early! Yes, that's right...we were not aware of the change in sermon times and showed up at the normal service time (10 am) when the services were either 9am or 11am! Yikes! We were embarrassed! It was very nice to get to see everyone, but I wish we had made it on time!



On Saturday, we were expecting a very special guest, so the kids got dressed and ready. Kailey wasn't very happy, and in this picture, Colin doesn't look happy with the fact that she wasn't happy...


Guess who that special guest was? The Easter Bunny!! Check out this video of Colin meeting the Easter bunny. I can assure you they were better friends last year!









Later in the morning, my family came (minus my brother Tim in NC) to celebrate. Colin was in better spirits and happy to snuggle with those he actually knew (and who talked back!)...























Kailey was very relaxed and chill and hanging out on Aunt Kimmy's lap...




Last year we resurrected a childhood tradition of dying Easter eggs...Colin had a lot of fun making a mess, but it was fun!













Colin's teeth are still causing a big problem, so he was a little off during the day. He certainly felt better after sharing some chocolate cream pie with Grandad!




Kailey was content hanging out in her swing...





and hanging out on Grandad's lap...





...before bed, Colin snuggled with Grandad and Nana.




This morning, Colin checked out his Easter basket from that very same bunny he was not a fan of!


...Kailey was dressed in her Sunday best and looking pretty as always...



and then they posed together for some brother/sister shots...






...later in the day, the Tobin family came to celebrate Easter with us. Uncle Brian got his snuggle time with Kailey.


...while Grandpa and Colin played together.














Just after dinner, Colin was so exhausted that he fell asleep on Aunt maureen...








so she put him down in his crib and 2 minutes later, this is what we found...



Guess that was shortlived. Right after we picked him up, he started to fall asleep on Uncle Brian!


We celebrated with Gammy's traditional bunny cake :)

...later tonight, Uncle Jason and Colin were blowing bubbles together...and having fun!



...after everyone left, we attempted to go for a walk, got to the driveway, and it started to rain!


...It was definitely a fun Easter!

I don't know WHAT it is, but I canNOT see that boy's cheezer grin without laughing. out. loud. And I love, love, love little girls in blue...especially when their eyes are still that drop-dead gorgeous navy color...oh, my. Oh, what stunners you make.

Glad you had such a great Easter (sorry you missed church). That video is THE.BEST! Poor Colin was trying to be his sweet self and waving but, that bunny proved to be just too scary! Still cracking up!

Colin is just adorable and the way he grins for photos melts my heart! Kailey is quite a looker herself and it's good that she has a big brother to watch out for her when she gets older! :-)

Random question...what kind of stroller is that and do you like it? I hate mine and am looking at maybe getting something else. Luckily mine was free so I don't feel so bad about hating it!
