Easter!

Easter morning started bright and early when Brett came into our room at 6:30, ready to find his and Camden's Easter baskets! He was so excited and searched the whole house before finding them by the front door :-) 

Brett was all smiles while he looked over his spread from the Easter Bunny :-) 

Camden's first Easter basket.....filled with bubbles, a bath toy, and a hanging toy for his car seat. Also some chocolate for mom and dad :-)

He was a happy baby and loved being part of the excitement! 

This year we decided to try the community Easter Egg Hunt at the Retirement center in Chelsea. Kyle warned me about his bad memories of these massive hunts from when he was a kid and would walk away empty handed....but I convinced him to let go of his memory and let Brett experience it for himself. Well, long story short....I should've listened to my husband! There were so many kids and seriously, within 30 seconds or so, ALL the eggs were gone and Brett ended up with only one little egg in his basket. If you want those eggs, you have to be quick...and by quick, I mean running as fast as you can with no worry of who you might run over! Like me, Brett is cautious in big crowds, so the poor kid just didn't have a chance. Lesson learned for next year!

No Easter is complete without a real Easter egg hunt where you actually collect some eggs....so Sunday afternoon the hunt was on....in our front yard :-)

Camden was happy to sit on daddy's lap and watch! 

After the search, it was time to open up all of his eggs to see what he got! 

We had such a wonderful time hanging out together.,..our first Easter as a family of four!

My three boys at play....LOVE IT!!!

Me and my little loves :-)

Later that afternoon, I dressed the boys in their buttondowns and we headed over to my parent's house for Easter dinner. But before we left.....pictures of course!

My mom is just the best! She set up a scavenger hunt with clues to lead Brett to his Easter gifts from them, And she didn't even take credit....she told him that the Easter Bunny visited their house too!

Brett found the first clue on the front porch next to one of his dinosaurs :-)

Throughout the scavenger hunt, Brett found many different surprises, like candy, new books, and last but not least....a new lego set! Here he is putting it together on the back porch. Yes, it was that warm!

Then it was time for dinner! I had to take a picture of my moms beautiful centerpiece. I swear, she is the best decorator I know! 

She even had a special Peter Rabbit plate and cup for Brett to use. I hope I am as good of a grandma as she is one day!

All the fresh air and excitement wore Camden out - and just at the right time so Kyle and I had free hands to eat...ha! I couldn't help staring at our perfect, beautiful boy though. We are just so lucky to have him and Brett!
