Easter

Happy Easter to you all! Hope you all were able to spend this holiday with your families! We had an amazing day together as a family celebrating the meaning of Easter as well as the Easter Bunny's arrival :)

 

Last night we gathered around the kitchen island & did the annual dyeing of eggs festivities. This was the first year that Mason didn't need any "help" & pretty much did it all by himself! He was SO proud!

Then it was bath time, story time & off to bed so the Easter Bunny could make his arrival. The "Easter Bunny" stayed up WAY too late stuffing plastic eggs with candy & money, putting the basket together & then hiding the eggs throughout the house. I didn't get to bed until after 1130pm so this Easter Bunny was SUPER tired when this little guy woke up the next morning.

 

Luckily for me I don't have an "early riser" child so by 7am he was awake & waking Mama & Daddy up with all his excitement!

He had so much fun looking all over the house for all the eggs the bunny had hidden & was so excited to see a trail of eggs down the stairs to the basement where he discovered his Easter basket.

I told Mase that he must have been super good since Christmas because he got some awesome stuff in his Easter basket! Candy, toys, boxers, PJ's, swim trunks, pool toys....he loved it all!



After we opened up all the plastic eggs (& ate a few pieces of candy along the way) we got dressed & headed out to our favorite "hole in the wall" breakfast place Mom's Kitchen for an early breakfast & then headed back home to shower & get ready for Easter service at church.



Such a handsome little guy :)

 

After church we got back home, changed & headed to Main Event for some family fun. We took Mase bowling for the first time & we had so much fun!! Shane & I hadn't been bowling since we had dated 14+ years ago & had forgotten how much fun it was...especially with Mase. It is definitely something we will all do together again!

After three games of bowling we headed over to the arcade & played a bunch of games. Mase didn't want to leave but Shane & I were getting super hungry so we lured him away with promises of pizza for lunch. While we were inside it had started to snow outside :( Ugh I swear....April 1st & we are getting winter weather. SO over it!!

We made our way over to Minsky's pizza for a late lunch & enjoyed a yummy BBQ Chicken pizza while Mase got his own little mini-pizza. After we stuffed ourselves we headed home, got PJ's on & curled up on the couch & watched movies while eating Easter candy. It was a most blessed day!
