Easter

So the evening before Easter I wanted to dye some eggs with bug so I got the kit and everything prepared but it was too close to C's bedtime so we ended up putting him down to sleep and I dyed eggs by my lonesome. Needless to say I just tossed em in and let them sit for a quick moment and then set them to dry. Kinda boring and no fancy decor on the eggs but it just wasn't as much fun by myself.

All the eggs...

my finished products...not very fancy but I did make an egg for Sawyer and Annabelle too. :)
I just love this little outfit...too cute!

Colton wishing everyone a Happy Easter with some goodies from Mom and Dad and Nana and Popo.

Easter Morning J and I joined his parents at church and it was a nice service. I always love going to that church I always leave feeling uplifted and energized for the new week.

After church we came home, changed clothes and got ready to head out to Aunt Barbara's house to help celebrate the girls' birthdays and of course Easter. However, we did manage to give Colt some rice cereal for the first time before we left.....it was time to eat and I wanted to see how he reacted to a) a spoon b) the texture and c) his tummy, it seems to be super sensitive. I just gave him a couple little spoon fulls but he seemed to automatically realize that the spoon had food in it and even leaned forward a little to get some. I think he is a fan!

He only got a little messy!

When we finally made it out to Aunt Barbara's we had a ball. It was great to hang with the family and see everyone.

The girls opening presents.... Carla-14 (farthest away), Anna-16 and Kayla-18(closest) and ALL birthdays are in April! Isn't that crazy! Barbara is a good planner...haha!

Kayla, Carla, Anna

And it we also celebrated Zach and Caleb's birthdays!

After all the cake and ice cream it was time to hunt for eggs the Easter Bunny hid.

Yes, we hunted for eggs with Colton

It was incredibly hot and obviously sunny.

his hair is so crazy all the time!

We got Colton an itty bitty Easter basket I found in the dollar aisle at Target, along with matching eggs and a little card but not much else. Considering he is only 4 months old I have decided to forgo any major celebration of the holidays until he is a little bigger and older....like for thanksgiving, Christmas and Halloween we will do a little more for him. However, Nana and Popo did get Colton a little Easter placemat, bunny and a book that explains Easter and the meaning behind the holiday....it's great! We had a great little Easter and it was good to spend time with all the family!
