I really looked forward to Easter this year. It was the first family gathering since the birth of my niece, Sofia. We all enjoyed being back together, enjoying time together and a family meal.
We started the morning with William’s Easter basket and coloring eggs. Nothing like last minute, huh? I forgot to hard boil them Friday night so we could do it on Saturday.
I was hesitant to get a bunch of candy for his basket so I opted for a new book, bubbles and a construction toy. He loved the plastic eggs and pretended to crack them open and fry them.
William had fun coloring eggs but I am glad I only did a few. I laugh about how much he loves eggs but only eats them on occasion.
He was pretty proud of his eggs. Love this shot.
He was probably wondering what we were supposed to do now that they were colored and covered in stickers.
We also had to have a practice egg hunt before the real one with Maria later that day. James hid all of William’s plastic eggs in the backyard and little man caught on quick and had a blast. James re-hid the eggs a few more times after that. It was so much fun to watch. Last year he had no clue what Easter was about.
Sunday family dinners at my mom’s house are quickly changing. It went from three newlywed couples to controlled chaos with 4 grand kids added to the mix. I love it. I sat around the dinner table and just took it all in and how much it’s changed in 6 years.
New parents!
William loves his little cousins and helping. It’s so sweet to watch how he interacts with them.
And then it was time for the egg hunt with Maria. William was super focused and filled up his basket.
The cheering section….
This is all they would give us for a photo of them together. Silly kids.
Not sure what the guys were playing here but William was interested for a bit.
More Easter goodies from Grandma.
And of course a family photo. My boys are so handsome.
I hope you all had blessed Easter!
