Dave was sweet and took care of Anna for an hour so I could take Benjamin to our church's Easter egg hunt yesterday morning. Benjamin did really well this year and had a lot of fun! It was really cold (high 30's and raining) so there wasn't nearly as many people this time. So Benjamin got all the eggs he wanted. It was funny though, because at first he would only pick up purple eggs!!!!!
Later that day we colored eggs for the first time! Benjamin did really well and would say, "WOW!!!" every time we took an egg out of the dye! He enjoyed putting stickers on them too! Afterwards we made egg brownies (brownies shaped like eggs). We had so much fun getting to do all the fun Easter activities this year. Last year he was soooooo sick with Rotavirus. So we have really enjoyed having a well Easter this year! :)
Benjamin woke up to an Easter basket this morning which he really enjoyed. He got candy, a Car sucker, sidewalk chalk (which we didn't get to play with today because it snowed!!!!), a chocolate bunny, and 101 Dalmatians. We had to watch the Dalmatian movie right away. He was really excited because we've been reading the book a lot and he LOVES to say BAD! BAD! whenever he sees Cruella Deville! This is him discovering the chocolate inside the eggs!
Mmmmmmm! I can't even tell you how many pieces of chocolate he's talked me into letting him have today! Oh, well! After his nap we had an Easter egg hunt in our living room and I made the mistake of not taking the chocolates out before hiding the eggs. He did not miss this mistake of mine! He would empty out each egg before finding more and ask for more chocolates! :)
He was really excited about his chocolate bunny! He just wanted to hold it, I had a hard time talking him into taking a bite!
Here's Anna in her Easter dress! She and I didn't get to go to church this morning, but we still put her in the dress! I thought she'd be fitting into 0-3 month clothes for Easter since she's almost a month old and that's when Benjamin did. But she's still in newborn clothes and the dress is way too big for her because she's still so little! I took her to the doctor on Thursday and she was 7 lb 11 oz, so she's not even to Benjamin's birth weight yet (he was 8 lb)! She still looked really cute though!
She definitely needs the sweater and hat! It's so cold for the end of March!
And the tights and shoes I got are way too big, so this is how she is spending the day....all swaddled up! She really likes being swaddled. Our little burrito!!! :)
And we tried hard to get a family picture, we only have one of the four of us from the hospital right after Anna was born. It didn't work too well, this was the best we got! Benjamin all of a sudden wanted me to hold him and so Dave handed him to me right as the timer was about to go off and so I ended up holding both kids and I just noticed that Benjamin is showing off his belly! Both kids were getting fussy and poor Anna was probably cold, so we gave up. Oh well, we'll try again! Happy Easter again to all! I hope you were all able to enjoy the love Jesus has for us and the miracle of this day and celebrate it with your loved ones!
