Easter 2013

After Jonah's birthday party on Saturday, we were all pretty exhausted but ready to celebrate Easter with our family.  Sunday morning was stormy and dark.  We had a tough time getting out of bed, but Jacob just couldn't wait to see what the Easter Bunny left him and to get started looking for eggs!
The Easter Bunny did well this year!

First look!

That Easter Bunny is a clever fellow and brought Jacob the Star Wars Lego set he'd been wanting!  This boy is obsessed!

Ready to hunt for eggs!

Jonah found one!  He discovered that he could squeeze the eggs and they would open up!  Jonah's eggs were all on the floor and filled with Cheerios and puffs.  Jacob's were higher up and had jelly beans, Skittles, Lego men and even some money!

Gotta love the bedhead!

He found the golden egg!

Jonah was finally ready to explore his own Easter basket!

His very own remote (hopefully he'll stop messing with the actual remote controls!)

Jonah loved finding his own eggs!

Of course, I couldn't resist an opportunity for matching pjs!

After searching for Easter eggs, we all got ready for church with Mim and Poppa.  We all sat together and loved worshiping and reflecting on the real reason for Easter.  Afterwards, we headed back to Mim and Poppa's house for another Easter egg hunt and a delicious lunch.

They sure do clean up well!

My favorite boys!

Man, it's hard to get a 5 year old to take pictures!
