The rest of Easter

We had a wonderful Easter day together as a family. Target happens to close for Easter so we got to spend the entire day with Dave! It was fantastic. Our church doesn't start until 1 p.m. so we had all morning to do fun Easter activities together. When Miles woke up his Easter basket was waiting for him to explore. He got some candy along with some new pajamas, a trash truck (from Toy Story 3), and some fun bubble toys. Once he saw the trash truck, the rest was history. He has carried that thing around for almost three days now. He loves it! He even took it to church with us.

Dave made us a delicious french toast breakfast. After breakfast we went on an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Miles had a great time hunting for the eggs. We have a very wonderful neighbor who puts out eggs around the neighborhood for all of the little kids. We knew there would be eggs out front so after Miles found all of the eggs in the backyard, we took him out front so he could find more. He was more interested in picking up all of the neighbor's eggs versus picking up the ones in our front yard. We finally convinced him to leave the other eggs for Baby Ian, Taylor, Cohen, Bailey, and Berkley, but it wasn't easy.

We then went to church as a family (which hasn't happened in a while). Miles made it through the first hour, but ended up leaving with dad so he could go take a nap. He had had too much excitement and was ready for one!

Dave prepared a wonderful ham dinner that evening. He went all out and even had cheesy potatoes, corn, and a wonderful salad to go with it. He is a great husband and father! He worked so hard to make our Easter special. I'm so thankful for all that he does for our little family!

We finished off the day by reading a book called "What Is Easter?" It is a cute little board book we got him last year that explains what Easter really is about. All of the extra things like eggs, candy, and the Easter Bunny are fun, but not the real reason for the holiday. He's still too young to grasp all of that, but we are trying to lay the foundation now.

Here are some pictures from our wonderful day together.

This video is really long and I'm talking way too much through it, but I'm sure the grandmas and grandpas will enjoy it
