Easter recap

We had a sweet Easter with boys who are finally old enough to grasp the fact that it's a special day. 

On Good Friday, we attempted to dye some eggs. I spent a good 30 minutes getting everything ready and set up, and the boys dyed approximately one egg each. The fun lasted about 5 minutes.

Easter morning started off with Easter baskets for two excited little boys.

{Don't be fooled by the fact that they're at the wrong baskets... Grant's in blue and Reid's in orange}

Their baskets included some books, sunglasses, swim trunks, bathtub paints, a bubble gun, and a Pez dispenser (their first), which was the clear favorite right off the bat. 

The bubble guns outlasted the candy, though, so we had to go outside and try them out:

After breakfast we headed to early church with Honey and Morgan, and we got to see Sassy, B, and Blaire as they were arriving for the later service. We attempted to get a cute picture of the three cousins together, but between Grant's squinting and Reid's pose (what on EARTH???), it wasn't happening.

Seriously, he just laid back and posed like this. We could barely see to take the picture from laughing so hard.

We managed to sneak in a family picture:

And here's Reid and his daddy:

They were handing out giant bubbles at church, so we had to take a few minutes to let the boys try them out.

When we got home, there were a few more pictures of these sweet brothers:

And then we got down to the business of egg hunting!

I love these next ones:

After naps, we headed to Dayton for supper at Dale and Michele's. It was a good, sweet day, and most of all, I loved that the boys kept telling us "Easter is about Jesus!"
