Happy Easter!

I hope you all had a great Easter - we did!  The boys decorated their eggs Saturday, which is always fun.

Frog position is key in good egg coloring....just a helpful hint I thought I'd pass on.









And the finished product!





Then this morning we woke up to a house-full of hidden eggs, which was very exciting.  From the moment the boys came out of their room, they could barely contain themselves.





We got a lot of "This is my best Easter ever!" and "This is awesome."  I'm sure it made the Easter Bunny feel good that his efforts were appreciated.  They were both thrilled beyond belief at the amount of sugar they collected.





This year the Easter Bunny threw in a little extra...the boys got some Legos too.  At this point in the day, Jack hadn't built his blue sports car yet, but he was very excited about it (and got to build it later at Grandma and Mevie's house).



But Owen's first task, immediately following the inhalation of as many jelly beans as he could get his hands on, was to build his airplane.  He spent almost two hours on it, and did the first 3/4 of it himself, only calling Daddy in for help towards the end.  So proud of both of them!



As we tucked the boys into bed tonight, and were leaving the room, they both said, "Mommy and Daddy, you're my best adults ever." Which was immediately amended to, "Mommy and Daddy and the Easter Bunny are my best adults ever."  We'll take it.  Jack and Owen are my best kids ever...in the whole wide world.

And who said cats can't enjoy Easter?  Maverick sat and watched the festivities from the best seat, in his opinion, in the house.  Yes, he somehow managed to jam his big, fluffy, adorable rump into that little box.



Happy Easter!
