On Sunday, we woke up to snow. It must have been Easter. With Easter being at the very end of April, I expected sunshine and warm weather. What was I thinking?
We started our Easter celebration on Friday night when Oliver colored eggs.
Oliver LOVES stickers.
The more stickers, the better!
Keith showed Oliver how to shrink the plastic wraps around the eggs with a hair dryer.
So pretty!
It is amazing how the Easter Bunny manages to take a picture of the baskets when he drops them off.
Oliver and Kellan's baskets.
On Easter morning, Oliver was So excited that the Easter bunny had not only stopped by, but he had been in him room to hide his basket.
Once Oliver had dug through his own basket, he headed off to Kellan's room to help him find his basket.
Here he is, showing Kellan his pin wheel.
Kellan was so excited about some new puff snacks that he tried chewing on them right away.
Then, it was back to Oliver's basket.
"The Easter Bunny brought me jelly beans, and I ate one".
Oliver loved the jelly beans. We may have let him splurge a little by having some candy first thing in the morning. It's just a fun part of being a kid.
Check out the new Spider Man shades the Easter Bunny brought Oliver. The other pair met the end of their days when they found themselves in the hands of a curious three-year old boy.
Oliver dreaming of eating the M&M's but Mom said "No more candy".
Back in Kellan's room, Oliver showed Kellan how the pin wheels blow in the breeze of the humidifier.
Oliver got an awesome bubble gun from the Easter Bunny.
Who knew the bubbles would stack up.
The breakfast table was a little cleaner this morning.
Kellan and Oliver dressed up in their Sunday best that Nana sent them for Easter.
Not all photo moments are perfect with two small boys. I show you two examples of photos that were taken, clearly when they were not in the mood. Kellan was dreaming of a nap and Oliver probably had one too many jelly beans that soured his mood.
I must say, this picture cracks me up. I think we are seeing a future vision of Oliver as an unaccommodating teenager.
For Easter, we walked to the church behind our house. We really enjoy the sermon's at this church. Plus, it is so convenient.
Kellan was so tired that he slept through the Easter service. As always, Oliver's favorite part was the music. The sermon was a bit tough for him this morning. Maybe one too many jelly beans. Then, it was back home for some bubble action.
After church, we went to the Martin house for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt. Oliver has gone to school since an infant with Owen. Owen is 10 days younger than Oliver. Owen's brother Cole is 3 days younger than Kellan. We couldn't have planned that coincidence if we would have tried. Owen's Mom Kristi and I got to know each other while we were both on maternity leave.
The kids getting ready to run out for the Easter Egg Hunt.
Owen, Oliver, Connor and Grace (Twin Siblings that are one month older than O&O)
He's Off!
Going Low...
Going High...
Showing off their finds to Connor and Grace's parents.
Kellan was getting sleepy so Keith went and put him down for a nap while we enjoyed lunch.
He woke up a little while later with a 102 degree fever. We immediately packed up and headed home. This was the start of a week long illness. We kept Kellan home for the next four days. Monday he was diagnosed with an ear infection. Keith took him back on Thursday and his ear infection was still bad but the Dr wanted to give the antibiotics more time. By Friday, he was doing much better. On top of the ear infection, he had a bug, compliments of his friends at Primrose and he was cutting his first teeth.
Before we knew Kellan was about to wake up with a fever, the four kids checking out their loot.
Happy Easter Everyone!!
