Easter Dinner

We celebrated Easter at Great Pappy's and Nanny's house today. We had a huge ham dinner, egg hunt for the children and lots of family fun! The boys even colored Easter Eggs again with their cousin. Great times:)

Easter Cookies!

Lukas's favorite cookie

Landon's favorite cookie


We've been so busy that we had to push baking our Easter cookies. Ben went to bed early today, so the boys and I spent the evening baking away. I'm getting really good baking home-made sugar cookies!

Happy Easter!

Lukas reading the note from the Easter Beagle...

This is where you store some legos...

This is the spot where Daddy got stung by a bee...

This is the spot to go if you're thirsty (Look what Landon did as soon as they opened the fridge.)...

This is what the Easter Beagle left us...



the Easter Bunny

The boys woke us up at 7:30 to go find their Easter baskets. Lukas found his basket within 5 minutes. The third place he looked was inside the microwave and all you could hear was "I FOUND MY BASKET!" Landon took a little longer to find his. We gave him a little hint so he could enjoy his basket before we left for Sunday School. He figured out the hint right away and ran over to the entertainment stand and opened up the bottom doors and yelled "I FOUND MINE, TOO!" They each got a lot of candy, silly putty and a small lego toy in their basket. Lukas was a little disappointed. "This is all we get!" Landon was so excited to get his little toy. At 9:15 we left for Sunday school and church.

the Easter Beagle

When we got home from church, the boys found an envelope on the door. They had a visit from the Easter Beagle! He left them a scavenger hunt! They had to find the clues to the special prize that he left. Lukas read all the clues out loud and together they found the clues. They also had to look for eggs with the clues. The clues led them to the basement were they found a big basket full of gifts on top of the dryer. They were SO EXCITED! They got many great gifts: Star Wars Wii game, Puss in Boots, Star Wars coloring books, bubble wands, eggs filled with candy and change and another lego set. They had a really great Easter! Happy Easter, Everyone!

Landon's 4 year check-up

Landon had his four year check-up this afternoon. Somehow, we forgot to schedule an appointment in February. When we called after his birthday, the earliest they could see us was the beginning of April.

Ben called me on my way to work to tell me a conversation they had early this morning:

Ben: Landon, today you're going to see Dr. Gibson.

The nurses are going to weigh you, measure you...

Landon: Yeah, Yeah... then they are going to give me a shot!

Gotta love him! He's too smart for his own good. :)

He did extremely well. He did get his adult tetanus shot and he may be a little sore tomorrow. He was a big boy about it and didn't even cry.

His growth stats are:

Length – 401/4" (40%)

Weight – 32lb 4oz (25%)

ROLL IT!

Today we colored/painted our Easter eggs! Landon could not wait to color eggs. He's been asking for two weeks. He was so excited when I told him we were coloring eggs after church.

This year the boys picked out the "Roll It" egg kit. We got two kits so the boys each had a set of paint rollers and we made two dozen eggs. It worked out great...NO FIGHTING! They both really enjoyed painting the eggs. The little rollers were so adorable. Cali-girl even joined in on the family fun!

Later in the evening they couldn't wait to eat an egg. Lukas taught Landon how to crack, peel, and eat the eggs!
