He was apparently expecting the Easter Bunny and or Jesus to be in our living room so he was a bit confused but was pleasantly happy to find the goodies that were in his basket. He kept asking "where's the Easter bunny Mommy and where's Jesus?" After a long week of egg hunts, a birthday party for Uncle Kevin and a playdate complete with a fishing trip I was worried he was overtired but he proved to have one more burst of energy for the celebration on what was a gorgeous Sunday!
We rushed around trying to get out the door in time and Daddy actually had to dress Lyssa since I was so behind (huge kuddos to D for putting on bloomers and a dress with snaps in the back!) but we made it with barely enough time to get a seat! Easter is always packed at church (Hallelujah!) but that means that we are tightly packed into each pew like sardines so Riley was so excited when he got to break out and usher with Papa for offering and then communion. He waved and winked to me as he excused our pew but otherwise was a total pro! Besides a wonderful service we enjoyed an Easter brunch afterwards put on by the youth group and Riley tried and loved his first piece of bacon! Derrick was a proud Daddy! Our Lyssa smiled and cooed in her Easter attire and was the cutest little thing with her pink dress and flower headband. How much fun Easter is when you have twice the amount of Easter blessings to dress!
We were able to relax at home with naps before heading to my parents for a delicious dinner, bocce ball, 31(I was the winner winner chicken dinner of the $24!), an egg hunt and a special scavenger hunt for Riley. Riley was super excited about his clues that lead to his basket (my Mom always makes things so special!) and he was an eagle eye for finding the eggs outside!
First clue was on his bed, second clue in his cash register and third taped to his big red ball and they lead to his basket in the crib room filled with bunny money, chocolate and playdough!
He LOVES his Twins hat and it didn't come off the rest of the day!
We all had a blast soaking in the vitamin D, eating like piggies and laughing alot (possibly at how 'white' Katie and I are at dancing on the Kinect?). It was a perfect day and a great kick-off to my last week at home where I am enjoying every last minute with my two beautiful babes. Happy late Easter to you and yours!
