Happy Easter!

It was a busy week with Easter! Jo was going to have her egg hunt on Friday for the kids, but since Zane wasn't going to be there, she had it on Wednesday instead. It ended up being a much better day for an egg hunt anyway...Friday was a rainy, dreary day! Here are the kids lined up outside after hunting for eggs! (Click on the link to Jo's daycare to see more pictures of their hunt).

Matt had Friday off (not me, boo hoo), so Thursday evening Brent stopped by our house on the way home and picked all 3 of my boys up! They headed to Iowa and left me all alone...to pay bills and clean the house! It was very strange not having to worry about anyone but myself and just doing my own thing! I worked Friday, then headed to Iowa as soon as school was out. Friday night we went to my parents' house to spend some time with them. We ate pizza, had an egg hunt, and just hung out.



Saturday we had Easter with the Baker side. There were lots of festivities there: egg decorating, cupcake frosting, coloring contest, egg hunt, fish moving, and kite flying. We filled up our day! Mason wasn't too aware of what was going on, other than he got lots of attention! Zane, Porter, and Tate enjoyed everything!

On Easter morning, Zane woke up and found a trail of plastic eggs from his room to the kitchen. And there, he found his basket full of goodies! He was very excited, but also confused about who left his gifts (Santa or the bunny?). He was also very concerned that Mason got only one thing! You can tell in the video that Zane had just woken up!

After getting ourselves ready, we headed to the Beggs Easter. Grandpa Beggs doesn't usually hold babies until they're a little bigger/older...and Sunday was the first time he held Mason! They had a nice little chat with one another!

We ate dinner and then the kids went on another egg hunt. Matt hid the little boys' eggs, so they were pretty easy to find. Jake and Celine didn't have such an easy time...their eggs were buried, on top of the silo, and way up in the trees. I didn't envy them having to find their eggs!

What a busy, and fun, weekend! It was so nice to see everyone and I know everyone enjoyed seeing the boys! I wish I had a quarter for every time I heard how big Mason is! He is our growing boy! Thanks for checking on us...check back again soon!
