Happy Easter! We’ve had a busy Easter weekend… it started out with an Easter Egg hunt at a nearby church.
Has anyone seen my eggs?
Here they are!
Natalie loved the egg hunt but was very cautious about the Easter Bunny. She clung to me upon entering the same room as him (even though he was far off in the corner) and later told Jordan that she isn’t afraid of small Easter bunnies but that she is afraid of big ones that can walk.
Then, we spent the night at Nana’s and Pop’s (and Jira’s, Clayton’s, and Alex’s) place – Natalie’s request. She’s been wanting to sleep at Nana’s and Pop’s (she especially loves their bed, where she slept when we were varnished out of our condo for a couple days), but wanted her “whole family” to come along. I didn’t have my phone out for pics for nearly any of the visit, but I’m hoping Jordan will have some good photos to add later. Natalie died Easter eggs with Nana, and we had a super fun egg hunt this morning. Nat’s favorite treats were a “cough drop” (actually a chocolate egg – she’s just never seen one before) and a Lifesaver Mint. She was also super excited about the baby toothpaste that was the same kind that we just threw out. How did the Easter Bunny know that?!!? (I swear the EB also brought some more exciting things.)
Both kids loved playing with little cousin Clayton, who is already 9 months old.
Hey little couz.... watcha think about that bouncy gym?!?
Poppy joined us for church, which Natalie basically pouted through since she wasn’t in the front row. But the walk home was fun…….
As was the walk to the park after church….
Over two days, and 50 pics, this is the only photo I captured of both kids looking at the camera. Elliott is loving Natalie’s new Easter book from Mammaw and Natalie loved some gook that smelled like banana laffy taffys.
Going down for a nap was hard for both kids…. Natalie had at least 5 reasons to come out of her room (night light, uncomfortable dress under her arm pits, camel was too big for her bed, need a nose wipe, poop in her bum – should I get more graphic?!?, etc). Thankfully, she eventually sung herself to sleep… I overheard something about rainbows and hippos.
