Easter 2014

In the past week, we had many-a Easter festivities!

Connor started with dying eggs with Nana at Nana & Papa's house.

We then dyed eggs at our house.  We mixed it up a bit & used a 'cool' Angry Birds decorating kit.

Connor had more fun playing pretend with the finished eggs than he did decorating them!  Cheap entertainment at it's finest!

On Wednesday, Noah & I hung with C at school during his school Easter day.  

(Pictured is C with his buddy, Caden, who happens to live down the street from our house).

On Friday, I couldn't wait to dress my boys in coordinating outfits to get some Easter pictures!

This little bunny didn't even notice his big ears! :)

This big bunny didn't want to wear his ears for very long, so we opted to go without. 

Noah gets his ears from his Dad ;)

We went to our holiday photo hotspot (Bass Pro) to see the Easter Bunny.  Little did we know, we'd have to wait in the longest line ever!  An hour and a half wait later, we got this cute shot of the boys & the Bunny!  Only a Mother would truly understand the stress of trying to keep children content/occupied in line, fending off any tears/grumpies in order to capture one memorable Easter Bunny photo!  We did it! Phew!

Mommy writes the Easter Bunny a letter every year to ask him to come a day early (since Connor isn't home on Easter day) & thank goodness-- the Easter Bunny happily obeys our request!

(Slight Mom fail: I didn't manage to get a picture of the boys with their Easter baskets).

We did capture Peewee in action on his egg hunt though!  He always gets a kick out of the Bunny's footprint each year!

The Easter Bunny scored big points with hidden R2-D2 eggs!

After our fun at home, we headed to Nana & Papa's for more Easter fun!  I tried to redeem myself with my Easter Basket photo fail & remembered some pictures of the boys with their goodies from Nana!

We loaded up & headed just down the street to a quiet spot near the Sanibel Causeway.  A beach trip with kids is a ton of work, so it was SO nice to have the cars just feet from where we were stationed on the beach.  Noah enjoyed his first Easter and first beach trip!

Super Nana!

The 'big boys' had big plans for fishing with their new inflatable boat.  The guys headed really really far out, so I made sure to send C with toys, snacks, and drinks before they ventured out. Nana & I enjoyed some laughs thinking of the men so far out being forced to play pretend or just listen to the endless chatter of happy little Peewee in his boat!  

While the guys were out fishing, Nana & I enjoyed time with our tiny beach bum.  He enjoyed his feet in the sand/water, as well as a nice little nap on Mama.

When I pointed out the C that we were right next to a little area that resembled an Ewok Village (from Star Wars), the wheels began to turn in his noggin'.  We all got good laughs as Peewee had all of us playing roles of Star Wars characters frolicking around the Village.  C is never short of an elaborate imagination!

As the clouds started to roll in, we paused our Star Wars pretend play, and started to load up.

Our perfect little slice of the beach was Heavenly...even with all the 5 year old chatter & forced pretend play.  We weren't short of laughs that afternoon!

We ended our day with a quiet dinner with Craig, Nicole, and Grandma C as well.  It was a picture perfect Easter! :)

Sidenote: T minus 7 days until the twins are here!!!
