Easter 2017

Holidays around our house are a big deal, Easter included! The celebration always starts at school. This year they did lots of cute little activities throughout the week. On of those activities was a Spring hat parade. We were to make a hat at home that reflected what you liked to do in the spring. Our little soccer player decided immediately he wanted a soccer themed hat. I combed through previous soccer pictured and found a good action shot, then took a shot of our soccer goal (thanks Granny) and had them printed at CVS.



Next, we cut them out and colored the background of the hat so that it was a scene straight out of a soccer game! It turned out cute! We also added soccer balls on the back and soccer antanae!



Here are some cute pics of their school parties and other Easter activities throughout the week!

Dying Eggs!



That Friday afternoon, Dust picked up the babies and some friends of ours (The Walkers) had "egged" our house! This is just when they hide 12 eggs for the babies to find. The 12th is empty as a reminder that Jesus arose on Easter :) They LOVED it and I so appreciate having such thoughtful friends :)





The same afternoon, I picked up some goodies from The Cake Shop that Mimi and Papa sent the boys. They were over the moon and dug right in!






We also had a little fun with filters on this evening... haha







Fast forward to Sunday and the Easter Bunny came!





After opening all their new treasures, mama made some special pancakes for breakfast!


And next up, the hunt!









We spent the rest of the day playing outside and soaking up the special memories :)










Next up, Easter dinner! I made roast and all the trimmings that my mom used to make :)



And Xavier preferred to eat plain Parmesan cheese instead....


Holidays mean lots of quality time. And we love that!



After a day spent together, our hearts were full :)


PS- Thanks for sending the Easter cards and $5 bills, granny and Papa!








Here are some cute videos of our holiday :)
