Easter

Our Easter:
Our kids weren't too excited at all about their baskets the Easter bunny brought them. Sophie grabbed her box of jelly beans and was content with shaking them around. Ethan saw his basket, grabbed a funsize Twix had me open it and said "Look Mommy, chocolate". He ate it and then went to find Daddy, satisfied with only that. The Easter bunny had also hidden eggs around their room. We didn't have a chance to dye eggs yet, we'll do it when Sophie feels better and can join us. We just are so busy with other things we didn't have time. Brandon worked on Friday and had class on Saturday 'til 1. I took the kids to an Easter egg hunt/breakfast at the church and then to the park afterwards. When Brandon got home we went to my Mom's, who always throws a big Easter bash with cousins. That's always a lot of fun for the kids. This included another hunt, pinata, and lots of yummy food and goodies. After that we stopped by Nonnie's and Gramps' to say hi. By the time we got home it was after midnight. The next morning was a rush since we woke up at 8, had the kids do their Easter thing and then I got them ready for church. As I was leaving for church Sophie threw up and I had to turn around and take her back home. I just ended up taking Ethan. She was sick all day and night. She seems to be doing better now but is sleeping most of the day today.
At church there was also another Easter egg hunt. Ethan's pretty funny; he stops, picks up a sucker and tries to open it, gets it open and then will pick up a few eggs. He would be happy with just his one sucker. Just like his one piece of candy on Halloween. This year they got more candy than I think they did on Halloween. Which reminds me, I told Ethan that the Easter bunny was coming on Sunday and he got all excited and said "I'll go get my pumpkin!" Every holiday has some association with Halloween to him, since candy is usually involved. I think Easter candy is my favorite since I'm having a hard time refraining. I might end up making cookies again and sending them to Brandon's work. So that was our Easter. We didn't take too many pictures with the rush, and our kids were just moving so much it was hard to. Here are the ones I did take of Ethan looking through his eggs, and Sophie sleeping since she's been sick. We also have an earlier one we thought was funny, of Sophie wearing a box.
