Happy Easter my friends! I hope you all have had a good day with your loved ones, however it is you chose to spend this day. If you were around last year, you may remember that the Easter Bunny dropped the ball. This year she did much better (and spent less money). These buckets were intentionally low on candy, but had some other fun stuff in them, stuff we can use at the pool and the beach. Great thinking Easter bunny.

Gotta love the silly posing children.
OK, take the picture already. (Boy, these guys need haircuts!)

We had an Easter egg hunt at church this morning. This was the starting line. I think this same picture is on last year's post, with a lot of the safe kids a year younger.

The first egg that Nate spotted was up in a tree. Do you think that stopped him? Not my monkey boy.


I think he found a "bunny" nest in the bushes.


Jacob is less aggressive in his egg hunting. At one point, Brian asked me where Jacob was. I said, "I don't know. Look for Audrey." Just a moment later they came walking down the sidewalk together. I wish I had taken a picture of them. She is his best friend from church.

Checking Nate's eggs for prize tickets.

It is our Easter tradition to have a picnic lunch at the park after church. This year, Grandma, Uncle Ronnie, Stephen and Raymond joined us. They didn't play on the playground though. So, I didn't get any pictures of them.

Nate's hair has an amazing ability to build up static on the slides. I have several pictures similar to this. Check out this one from Easter 2 years ago. It's one of my favorites.


I asked the boys this morning if they were OK with me dressing them alike on Easter. They both said yes. Yay! I always worry that each year will be the last. But, they are good sports. Easter is still my one day of the year for girl envy, with all the cute dresses. But, I happen to think my boys are pretty darn cute too!
