Our Easter

Saturday started off with us having an nice family breakfast together. Then we cleaned the kitchen before opening our Easter baskets (yes, even we adults get Easter baskets). The boys loved what we gave them and loved looking at what everyone else got as well. They had so much fun playing with their new things. We wanted to take pictures of the boys for Easter, but they were both fussy. We did our best and it helps when Joshua makes funny faces and sounds. We did get some good shots though. Joshua took them outside so that I could get caught up on a few things and my parents and sister went out yard saleing for awhile. The boys love to be able to go outside and play. It started to get cold outside, so Joshua brought the boys in and we fed them lunch. Joshua and I decided to dye Easter eggs with the boys before their naps. My parents were home then and Joshua helped Paul and my dad helped Peter. The boys loved dying eggs. It seems like each year is a new adventure where they can do more and more things themselves. Before I know it the boys will be able to do this all by themselves and won't need our help anymore. The boys took good naps and we decided to give them baths before our company came over. My mom hid eggs around the house for the boys to find when they came down from their baths. The boys really enjoyed that. We have been doing piggy banks with them during the night and when they saw the coins in the eggs they were very excited. Paul and Peter both love to put the money in their banks. We invited over a couple from church so that we could get to know them better. My mom loves playing games and so do they, we had a wonderful time and it was great to get to know them better.
Joshua was going to be playing in the orchestra at church on Sunday, so he had to leave early. My family helped me with the boys, who were alittle on the fussy side. They still are having little symptoms of the flu. We made it to church and we had a nice service. I ended up taking the boys home after the service and feeding them lunch. Soon after they went to sleep. My mom's favorite thing to say is "life is short eat dessert first." So we all ate cake while she was making the Easter lunch/dinner. After it was made, we ate at the dinning room table just relaxing. It was nice because we did not have the interruption of the boys. We did not have an evening service so we just stayed home and relaxed. After the boys woke up, we went for a walk and then they played outside, while I continued to get things done. Yes I am nesting already :). We had a wonderful Easter just relaxing and spending time as a family. We hope that you all had a wonderful Easter as well.
