Happy Easter- Part II

Sunday, we celebrated Easter some more with the family. First, Sunday morning the Easter bunny brought Lorelei and Paxton some gifts in their Easter baskets. We had to explain to Paxton the day before that no, the Easter bunny is not like Santa and he does not bring LOTS of gifts-only what can fit into your basket. He was still happy to see a Leap Frog Leapster in his basket and Lorelei loves her My Little Ponies and Princess Salon kit.

I made sure to get up early on Easter so we had plenty of time to get pictures. (If you are like us, it's waffles on the way to church as we rush out the door every Sunday morning!) I did not want them eating in their nice Easter clothes without a bib (Lorelei). So we had waffles at the table and got some cute pictures before we got all messed up. We went to church and Paxton enjoyed Children's Church (yes, we can no longer keep in the service with us- the time has come for me to finally hear at least half of a sermon without threatening someone!), Kid's Praise and class. After church we went to Lala, Pam and Von's house for Easter lunch and an Easter egg hunt. The kids had fun with their cousins and Paxton and Lorelei did good finding eggs. We had a great time but somehow the kids did not take afternoon naps- could it have been the banana splits we had for lunch, or maybe it was the candy they ate in Sunday school class, or perhaps it was from all the sugar they ate after the Easter egg hunt?!! Nevertheless, we are Eastered out!! I put away the dyed eggs, the bunnies, and the Easter bunny picture yesterday. Of course, we will never forget the real reason we celebrate Easter!!

Oh and I must add, that one of good friends had her baby on Easter!! Congrats to Ashley and Cary on the birth of baby Noah!!! He is beautiful!

Whenever Lorelei visits there she gets in the chair with "My babies."

Jackpot!

Lorelei was NOT happy to see the Easter bunny this year. This was the best picture before the weeping and wailing began. Last year she did so great, but this year she freaked out!!! Maybe it was rap music playing in the background from a local rap station who was there sponsoring this year's Easter bunny. I mean really, rap and Easter? Doesn't really give you that springtime, happy feeling!
