Easter Festivities

Easter started on Thursday when we went to school for Noah's first Easter egg hunt! They started with a cupcake snack which the kids loved of course. After snack, they were all given buckets that they had decorated and we headed down the hall to the playground. I wasn't sure what to expect because Noah had never hunted Easter eggs before but as soon as the door opened, the kids (especially Noah) went squealing and grabbing as many eggs as they could. It was so cute.

Yum, cupcake!
Couldn't get a shot of them all looking forward -

Finding eggs!

Since Waylon had plans to go to a hockey game that night, Noah and I took Stella Dot with us when we left and headed back to Amy's house to play. We played on their neighbor's playset and looked at the chickens and had an action packed dinner out at a Mongolian restaurant. We brought Noah's PJs and didn't head home until 8:15 so it was a big day.

On Friday night, Waylon and I went to dinner and to see Josh Blue at Charlie Goodnight's. It's been a while since we've had a date night so it was nice. While we were gone, Noah went out to dinner with Nana and Grandad.

Saturday was a nice family day around the house and running errands. Then, that night, the Easter Bunny came!! On Sunday morning, Noah was so excited to see his Easter basket waiting for him when he came downstairs and had to have a piece of chocolate for breakfast. We made pancakes and Noah got a special Mickey Mouse pancake complete with a smiley face made of chocolate chips! :-) He loved it obviously.

After a long nap (the 3rd day in a row his naps were longer than 3 hours!), Waylon's parents and Andrea, Sean and Savannah came over to have yet another Easter egg hunt and dinner. It's always fun seeing Noah and Savannah together. We tried to get some Easter pictures of the two of them but mostly we just got outtakes! Hopefully Kay or Andrea got some good ones.

Finding more eggs!

Savannah found one, too.

The only one of them looking the same direction! :-)

This is my favorite outtake. :-)
