Easter

We had such a great Easter this year. On Saturday, we went to Fred's to get Todd and Dylan's haircut. It was nice seeing him and also getting a much needed haircut for Dylan. He really likes going to Fred. Afterwards, he gave him a cookie for being such a good boy.

We headed over to Denny/Maxines after we left Fred's for an Easter brunch. We had egg caserole and some cinnamon rolls. It was sooooo good. We of course had to burn off calories, so we decided to do the Easter egg hunt outside.
I must say, Austin did a great job hiding the eggs. Dylan and Carter were really into it. Avery had a fun time too. We went out for dinner at the Ground Round and met up with my parents. The kids behaved so well and it was nice seeing Austin's dad too. Later that night, we all played cards and stayed up talking.

On Easter morning, we went to 11am church. I would love to say our kids did well at church, but that wasn't the case. Thank goodness, church was packed, so we were in the cry room. Dylan did great, but Gavin cried a lot. He is teething and he wouldn't take the bottle. Anyway, after the Tylenol kicked in, he was back to his normal happy self. We went over to my parents after church for another Easter egg hunt. I think the "Easter Bunny" hid 22 eggs or something like that.
My dad could tell you the exact number- wink wink. My mom made an awesome Easter dinner with ham, potato caserole, salad, fruit salad, and strawberrys/ice cream with angel food cake. My grandma came down for dinner and then my aunt and uncle stopped over for a visit. The Easter bunny also made a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Stoffels. Dylan was greeted with a basket full of candy and a Spiderman kite. Gavin also had a basket full of candy and some soft blocks. I'm sure we will be eating candy for weeks =) The only thing missing from Easter was Andi and Troy and family and also Jason, Amanda and Chelsea.

Happy Easter

Today was a little warmer than yesterday, but it was still on the chilly side- in the 50's. We made sure Dylan was bundled up when we did our Easter egg hunt. He really wasn't too interested in it though. He was more interested in the bubbles that the Easter bunny gave him, kicking/throwing his green ball, and also pushing around the stroller. Those activities always tire him out.

A first for Dylan...
He ate a deviled egg for the first time, but he didn't like it at all. He did discover the taste for jelly beans and chocolate covered eggs and loved them, go figure. We had to hide them by the end of the day because he was on the hunt for them. We figured he was already on a sugar rush, so we had to call it quits.

Easter bunny visit

The daycare had a surprise visitor yesterday, the EASTER BUNNY! I guess Dylan didn't really know what to think of him. He did sit on his lap, but gave him a look that was like who r u? The younger kids all cried and would not even come close to him.

This weekend we will do an Easter egg hunt and if its nice outside, we will get the pool out. Todd thought Dylan might enjoy going through the sprinkler too. I'll be sure to post the pictures.
