This year, Easter was a little different at our house. Usually we go to Pittsburgh for Easter, to celebrate the holiday with my sister and two aunts. This year, however, because my grandfather is getting older and is finding it hard to travel, we celebrated Easter here. We had a spaghetti dinner at my house on Saturday and then everyone did their own thing on Sunday. My sister, niece and brother-in-law stayed with my mom, but came to our house Sunday morning to find and open Easter baskets. In the afternoon, Greg, the boys and I went to my in-laws for dessert and an egg hunt.
This is my sister and niece, Ella dying eggs. Ella enjoyed it until she realized that her hands were messy, and then wanted nothing to do with coloring eggs. This child should have been mine, with her aversion to messes!
Jacob, on the other hand, had no issues with mess whatsoever! He thoroughly enjoyed dying eggs, and amassed a huge pile of them. He put every egg in every color of dye, so they all ended up looking the same to me, but he was very proud of them!
This was the best Easter present ever. In fact, it brought tears to my eyes. A few days before Easter, while I was feverishly cleaning and getting ready for the holiday, Jacob asked me for a blank card. I gave it to him, but throughout the course of that evening, I probably yelled at him 20 times. He stashed away this card and gave it to me Easter morning, telling me that this is what he wanted the blank card for. How sweet. I felt like a real jerk for yelling him that day. He drew a picture of me holding a basket of eggs. Also note that he signed the card from himself and "
mimi," my mother. I thought that was funny!
Andrew getting the scoop on plastic eggs from Ella.
My dad and Jacob.
Jake also hid Greg's Easter basket.
Jacob found his basket immediately. He has a nose for candy!
Andrew has to taste everything, even if it isn't actually food.
I think he liked his basket.
He needed a little help locating it!
My sister, Dustin and Ella.
Jacob "helping" Andrew find some eggs during the hunt at our house.
Greg grabbing a quick bite to eat with my dad before heading to work. Poor guy had to work night shift on Easter. :(
Andrew likes to meditate over Cheerios in the morning.
