Easter 2013

I hope everyone had a great Easter last weekend. We had a pretty good one. True to form, we all got sick and had to miss out on some family time. Why do we always seem to get sick during the holidays? Boo to that.

 

The weekend before we dyed Easter Eggs for the first time. It was pretty fun. I guess they really mean to only had the 1/2 cup of water to the dye because our dye got really diluted and didn't show up. The only color that would show up was the red/pink. Steven liked it at first and then got bored I think when none of the other colors were working. Oh well, there's always next year.

 

Using the wisk really worked well. We didn't drop any eggs. Woot!

The Saturday before Easter we headed over to the Riegerix's for their big Easter celebration. Of course Steven started having a horrible cough that day and was throwing up from coughing so much. But we still went! The party must go on.

This year was really fun because all 4 of my husband's siblings were in town for Easter. That has never happened before since I've been around. Also there was an extra kiddo. Steve's youngest brother, Matt and his girlfriend were in town. She has a 7 year old son, Eli. Steven and him got along great. Willow was also there. Those 3 had a blast. I had to corner them to get this photo.

Jordan prepared an egg scavenger hunt for the kids with clues. That was super cute. Here they are looking for a clue in the fridge.

Of course their family was way too generous and got Steven a crazy amount of candy and fun toys.
He is so loved. He has been really into suckers lately so he busted this one open right away.

Take a picture with mom! Have to hold him down!

Here is Matt and his girlfriend, Rudy. They are having a baby in July! Steven is also being goofy. Love that face.

On Easter, we opened Steven's basket from us. He did his typical, picked out 1 or 2 things and ignored the rest. He was excited about a new movie though. "Elephant" he calls it. :)

He was also super psyched about that pez dispenser. It's the small things.

My parents came over and brought more treats! I tell you this kid is s.p.o.i.l.e.d! They also brought food for us so maybe we are a little bit too. :)

I hope everyone's Easter weekend was wonderful. We finally had some good weather but we were all to sick to enjoy it. Immediately after my parent's left we all took a 3 hour nap! ha ha!
