Easter

Easter was a fun and busy day. The kids opened their Easter baskets in the morning and Andrew was so excited to get Dunbar from Chuggintons (along with some other toys). He did ask us where his candy was, but we told him that the Easter bunny would come back during nap time and hide candy in the eggs.

We then went to Starbucks and on to church. On our way to church Andrew was telling us all about the meaning of Easter. As a parent, it was amazing to hear our 3 year old boy talk about Jesus. I've been reading to him a book about Easter and as I read it to him he interjects more details about the story. I think most of this is what they've been talking about at school. He told us how the people say hosanna and wave the leaves when Jesus is on the donkey, how Jesus eats dinner with his friends and how Judas betrays. I loved hearing my little boy explain Easter to us and beyond thrilled that he starting to understand the real meaning of Easter.

At church they had a carnival for all of the kids between services. We got there a little early so he could enjoy the carnival. We had a hard time convincing him to check it out, he kept saying it was for big kids. He finally went in and played a few games before he asked to go into his class.

Nate and I hosted dinner at our house this year, so about 3:30 my parents & in laws came over. Andrew did a Easter egg hunt and had tons of fun finding M&M's & coins in the eggs. Andrew had lots of fun playing with his Uncle Thomas, who he calls Thomas the train :) He really enjoys having family at his house so he can show them all of his toys.

It was Ava's 1st Easter and she was the cutest little thing!

Trying to get a picture of the two of them was not an easy task!

Ava loved all of her new books and the kids had fun playing with Ava's new pink cars.
