When a holiday comes around, it's a lot to blog about because not only do you have the things your family does, but you have celebrations for both sides of the family! So here are more pictures of Easter this year! We always get together with my family. This time, it was cold. I probably took it a little too far on bundling up Dax....
The mittens and hat probably weren't necessary and he took them off anyways, but a mother always prepares for any situation!
The kids had eggs all around the yard. Depending on their age, the eggs were hidden super easy, to super hard. Daxton's yellow eggs were beyond easy! You walked off the steps and they were literally in a line! All he had to do was walk over to one and put it in his basket. Walk up to the next one, and do the same thing. He was thrilled with the first one! And liked the second one.
By the 3rd, he trickled off and found the bunny outside to be more interesting. What about the other 8 eggs?! It took a long time to convince him to pick them up! Brett even threw a few in his bucket just to get it over with and so we didn't freeze to death.
This is my niece's bunny, Julie Roberts. She's super soft. (And incidentally, she's a boy... but it didn't fit with the name Acacia chose!) She always comes to the Easter party. What's Easter without a bunny!
Isaac on the other hand loved running around finding his eggs. They were all over. His color was green. In past years we have had to draw maps for where all the eggs were hidden. This year, we didn't and it took a bit longer to find them all. I'm pretty sure my nephew, Cayden had to give up on a couple because my brother-in-law couldn't remember where they were hidden!
We lost one of Isaac's but he finally found it at the end! SUCCESS!
The kids love opening their little trinkets. Aleesha got squinkies for the kids... which are apparently all the rage and the kids loved them! Isaac's were superhero ones. I'll be honest, I didn't even know what a squinky was.
Dax loved chatting with my mom. He kept walking over to her. She gave all the kids bunnies that pooped jelly beans. (Cause how may grandma's would do that?! They all thought she was awesome.)
We didn't tell Dax about the jellybeans, but he sure loved kissing this little plastic bunnies nose!
That is until he discovered the chocolate bunny... yes he ate this whole sucker. I'm surprised it didn't make him sick! He screamed if I tried to take it away.
For our craft project this year, we made rice krispie nests. Brett was the "model" for making the perfect nest! It looked great! He helped Dax. Most of the kids put in the colored coconut for grass, jelly beans for little eggs, peeps... but Brett didn't mess with any of that for Dax. "Less mess. Less for him to eat" was his motto.
Dax just had his fuzzy baby chick he played with in the nest. And he loved it!
Brett was right (I hate that!) Sometimes, the simpler the better! However, he did finally give him a few jellybean eggs.
Isaac piled it all on! The coconut, tons of eggs, peeps... he had a great time!
It was a really fun activity. The kids had a blast making them!
Because I clean my mom's house once a week, Dax knows the routine there. When all was said and done, he found the broom and got to work! That's my boy!
Kenz requested a picture with all of her nieces and nephews. I'm glad, cause getting this group together isn't easy! We have a cute bunch! (even the ones who refuse to wear shirts!)
