Easter 2017

Before church on Easter morning, we stopped in the front for some Easter photo ops. We have a west-facing home and get the morning sun in the back by the kitchen windows - why it looks a little dark. It was a gorgeous day though! (It's been awhile since we were actually able to wear shorts/dresses to church on Easter Sunday without freezing!!)

I love this shot of Kade - he just looks like he's up to something!

This was our first Sunday trying out the local Episcopal church. It was PACKED! Good thing we got there early so we could actually sit in a pew and not on a folding metal chair. The church service was nice, a little long on the homily for Easter Sunday (and also the day they were confirming 12 middle schoolers).... so it ran a bit late.

After picking up Kade from the nursery, we were ready for an Egg Hunt at the church! Yup, they were having designated egg hunts for each age group between the two church services! Kade's group went first and I think Brock enjoyed cheering him on! (This was Kade's FIRST hunt!)

He didn't quite know what to do in the beginning... he just walked around pointing at all the eggs!

Okay, now he gets it!

Brock was in the next group - 4 year olds through first graders! The youngest in the age group - not a problem! He was on it!

He was NOT shy about finding those eggs in a hurry!

Surprise! When we returned home.... the Easter Bunny had come to our house too! Here's a 4 minute video of our Easter Egg Hunt in our beautiful green backyard!

I love little Kade's face getting his eggs!

Happy boys looking through the bounty!

Grandma, Uncle David and Mia came over later that afternoon with more Easter Baskets for the boys and to join us for dinner.

The boys also got some cool housewarming presents from Uncle David & Grandma - two outdoor chairs for their deck!

A very full Easter day filled with lots of fun and family!

Also..... 24 hours after this picture was taken, all the plastic eggs were rounded up and put away. Brock and Kade were having multiple easter egg hunts of their own or hiding other toys inside the plastic easter eggs for quite awhile now! I will be very happy not to see another plastic egg in my home for another 11 months. See you later Easter Bunny! :)
