Easter is such a special holiday. As with Christmas, often times we forget what we're celebrating. But Marlie knew that Jesus died and rose on the third day. Sister Mary taught her well! The kids also decided to give up gum for lent and when I forgot and asked Marlie if she wanted some she said, "Mom I gave up gum for lent." Now first Matt thought about giving up chocolate but when Dad told him that meant Oreos, chocolate ice cream, etc, he said "maybe I'll give up vanilla". Somehow they both decided on gum which is good because they ask for gum every time we hop in the car.
We went to the Movie Tavern and saw HOP with a bunch of friends. The kids couldn't wait to paint eggs so we came home and did that too. We made every color we could and even made some glitter ones too. They had a blast!
We had a quick, but really fun weekend in SA with the entire family. Matt woke up early to go potty and found his basket. He was SO excited. Marlie...not so much. Maybe she was so tired from not sleeping and punching me in the face all night (I don't know how you crazy parents sleep with your kids but your missing out on some great sleep!). And it was Matt who was so excited about the Easter egg hunt. He couldn't wait!
And here are all the cousins getting ready for the hunt. We missed Tim in the first picture so I had to take another of him and Matt. Since these are the only boys they have so much fun together. It will be fun to watch them as they get older. They already had a blast playing Tball in the backyard. Matt got to "coach" and he loved that. Later T said, "Matt I love you". How cute is that?
We had a really great Easter and I hope you did too! We got to swing by the Hatters house on our trip and see them for a bit and that was just icing on the cake. They are way too fun and we always have so many funny things to talk about. We love you guys!
