(I'm about 16 1/2 weeks along here with our new boy!)
I always loved Easter as a kid. There was just something special about getting a pretty new outfit, an Easter basket full of candy, hunting for eggs and spending time with family. I want Jack to have such wonderful memories too so I always try hard to make this a great holiday for him. Of course, Jack's grandparents share the same sentiment so Easter started a week early for Jack with packages delivered from Cali and Chicago...both filled with candy and toys. Needless to say the candy didn't last long - how can it with a pregnant woman in the house!
The Saturday before Easter we dyed eggs. I love dying eggs so this was really fun for me. I thought Jack would just throw the eggs and dye around but he was actually quite good at it. Aside from a few cracked eggs we all came out pretty clean. Easter morning started with a visit from the Easter Bunny who brought Jack an Easter basket, new toys and a brand new wagon. He was so excited, the first words out of his mouth were..."OH MY GOODNESS!"
After an amazing church service we hosted a brunch at our house. We may not have family here, but we are fortunate enough to have great friends to share holidays with from time to time. Our neighbors Lee and Stacy brought their kids Ava and Hunter and our friends Andy and Rianna brought their girls Elena and Clara. Jack was so happy to have his girlfriends there to play with. We all had a really nice and relaxing day!
There were just too many adorable pictures from the weekend so it was hard to leave any out...so I didn't. There are about 20 pics here - don't say I didn't warn you! Some of the pictures I got from Stacy so they have a funny white border, but they are cute just the same!
Jack is obviously enjoying this white chocolate bunny from Gigi and Papa...
An Easter Basket from the Easter Bunny! I'm loving his adorable outfit and freshly combed hair...
Riding in his new wagon, which we use on a daily basis now...
Jack is so proud to have found his first egg...
I love this picture of the girls running. They look so happy and free. The funny part is that we hid about 40 eggs but they b-lined for the same one...
Little girls always become fast friends. I love how Elena has her arm around Ava...

Taking inventory of their loot!
Jack proceeded to eat nearly every piece of candy in his basket. Poor kid has no will power...
Don't forget about little Hunter...
