Easter fun 2010

We shared a lot of our Easter fun with Will so you’ll see him in many of our pictures.  We attempted to be creative and make cupcake bunnies.  Alex helped me make the cupcakes and frosting and he is looked on baking, especially licking the beaters!  Unfortunately, the bunnies look like rats!!  And putting frosting on donut holes was a lot harder than we expected.  So after making a few “bunnies” we gave the boys open reign to decorate.   Of course, all Alex wanted to do was eat the frosting!  (Smart boy!!)

We had a blast decorating eggs.  I only cooked 6 because I’m the only one who eats eggs, but watching them enjoy the coloring makes me think that I’ll do more next year and just live off of egg salad sandwiches for a week!!

The Easter bunny was very generous again, along with the grandmas!  I think the boys are getting a bit spoiled!!

In their Easter clothes!  The boys have been doing so well at church.  It’s motivating me to take them more often.

We had an initial hunt in the morning for what the Easter bunny had hidden.  Both boys had so much fun hunting for eggs.

After church, Rick, Laura and Will came over for Easter dinner and another egg hunt.  Unfortunately, a nice thunderstorm came through so the hunt happened in the house.  But the boys had a blast!!!  We had hid 3 colors of eggs, each boy having their own color to hunt for.  It worked really well and they were helping each other as well as finding their own eggs.  At this point of the day, Alex was done hunting so you’ll see Adam and Will in the pictures.

Daddy’s 40th Birthday

I think it my boys had a choice, we’d celebrate someone’s birthday once a week.  Adam loves the decorating and giving presents.  Alex loves the birthday cake!!

We were able to celebrate Travis’ big day outside, with the most perfect weather.  Trav came home around 5:15.  We had a very nice dinner, opened presents, had cake, and finally dragged the boys in around 7:30.  Then after the boys went to bed, T & I watched 24.  A pretty perfect day for Travis!!
