Happy Easter




Henry woke up Easter morning to find a mysterious trail of jellybeans. It took a lot of coaxing to turn his attention away from the jellybeans and onto the scavenger hunt which lead him to find...

the Easter baskets!All of this excitement and candy and we still made it to nine o'clock church in time for me to say the opening prayer. Here are more than a few shots of the boys in their Easter Sunday best.
Same photo for the most part, just a little more hair.












And just for good measure, another shot of the hair.




After a long nap and a little cooking, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan's house to meet up with this handsome bunch. It would appear that Grandma does the shopping, cool shades to boot. But where is boy cousin number 5 you ask?
Oh yes, baby Nolan was sporting some shades too.
And then, the moment everyone had waited for....the Easter egg hunt finale. Color coded no doubt.






Happy Easter!


Easter Festivities



Easter traditions are the best and this year was no exception. We started our Saturday off with the neighborhood Easter egg hunt at the park. Chris made it home from his campout with the scouts just in the nick of time to race Henry down to the park. He was a titch late but made up for lost time with his speed and agility.

Henry rockin the 0-3 age group. The best part is he will still be in this age group next year.


The loot. And there are still two grandma parties and the Easter bunny yet to come.
After the park, there was some serious egg dying. Henry was quite fond of stirring and mixing and of course, his favorite color orange.

Nolan was suited up for the occasion in his frog shirt. A quiet spectator this year, but certainly one you will want to watch out for next year.


Henry was even awarded with a new bike! Mom and Dad did not want to wait until his birthday for this one. We figured he needed to use it all summer long. While he could never reach the pedals on trikes, this bike seemed to be a perfect fit.


Then it was off the Grandma Terry's Easter Bash for more fun at the park, lots of cousins and oh yes, another Easter egg hunt. This time Henry was a little slow out the gate (due to his fetish of taking shoes/socks off constantly) and came up empty with so many older cousins around. No matter, Greysen and Uncle Keith were gracious enough to share.

Nolan enjoyed some snuggle time with sweet Great Grandma Joyce.


What a day, and to think the fun has just begun...
