Our Easter was different this year, but very relaxing and fun. We typically go to my parents in VA on Sunday for lunch with the family followed by an Easter Egg Hunt for all of the cousins. But since one of my nieces was with her dad this weekend, we postponed our Easter festivities until next weekend (more Easter Egg Hunt pictures to come next week!). So we had a great day at home!
We've been preparing our hearts all week by reading the events in the Bible and other story books that the boys have. We've had lots of conversations about what the crucifixion and rising means for us and to us in our Christian faith. Landon completely gets it. Carter is fixated on the CANDY (surprise, surprise)!
Landon and I started the Easter weekend by playing hooky from work/school (well, school was out but I took the day off of work) and spent the day together. We went grocery shopping, ate lunch at Moe's, and bought our Easter fun supplies for the weekend. I served at church in the infant room for the two Friday night services and ended the night with a late trip to Carter's to find the boys shirts for Easter (better late than never!).
Saturday (after hair cuts, ninjitsu, and naps), we went to church and then out to eat with the Wright's - Corbett's Burger and Soda Bar in Cary (TRY IT!). The boys looked pretty dapper.
Sunday morning the boys patiently waited for their lazy parents to get our of bed (oh, how I will miss this after the baby comes) so they could look through their Easter baskets which were filled with a TMNT "Trust Me. I'm a Ninja" tee, toothbrush (nice one, Easter Bunny), Power Ranger action figure, and lots of candy. We dyed eggs and had an Easter Egg Hunt in the back yard. We stayed in our jammies all day. Naps were in order for the padres and we let the kids skip one. And they ate way too much candy. It was a great weekend at home.
