Happy Easter 2014!

I was so happy that I got to see the boys open their Easter "baskets" on Sunday morning before I left for work.  Working a job that is open 24/7 means that sometimes I am not home on special days.  I have to admit, I was sad to think that I would miss seeing their faces since I knew what the Easter Bunny was bringing this year (I peeked).  When the boys got up at 6 AM on Sunday, I was thrilled!  After the reveal, I headed off to work and all was good.

 Thank you, Easter Bunny!

 Showing off their sweet new rides.

 And, then they crashed...

Sean and Aunt Christy then took the boys to ski at Loveland. They got to meet the Easter Bunny and according to Carter, skiing was "wicked, wicked, wicked awesome".  Gotta love that kid.  (Thanks, Aunt Christy, for introducing the new terminology.)

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter, too!

Easter Eggstravaganza

The boys and I dyed Easter eggs last week after school.  What is it about the smell of coloring Easter eggs anyway?  I love it!  Anyway, the holiday kind of crept up on me this year so it was nice to dye the eggs and add some festive flair around here.  We were getting all prepped for the big hunt!

The student council sponsored an Easter egg hunt after school on Friday. The boys were super-excited!  I think the entire thing lasted about three and a half minutes.  

This was the outfield of the baseball field at school.  No match for a bunch of Preschoolers & Kindergartners!

 Yep.  The lady who sells personalized Thirty-One bags had her kids using lunch boxes and backpacks to collect their eggs.  Classy.

Aunt Christy got to enjoy the festivities, too!
