Easter

With being gone the entire day before, preparing for a holiday was a little crazy.  Well, it was only crazy because I almost forgot.  But we pulled it together.  We were definitely a little late to church after getting home around 1:00 AM from Albany, but we made it and then had a great day with the three of us.  It was nice to spend that time together and of course take some naps :)

Chase's Easter basket

And my Easter plate-- the Easter Bunny knows me well!  YUM!

Chase was excited to see new stuff by his basket

He knew exactly what to do with more track pieces for his airplane, helicopter, and police car.

Yeah, he was still tired

But he wanted to play more than he wanted to go back to bed.

He loved his new book.

And was excited to see a chocolate bunny, even though I doubt he knew what it is.

It was fun to see how excited he was.

He tried on his backpack.
It took a few tried to understand it, but now he loves it.

Chase had another gift to open after church.

Marcus decided he was going to try about the Duplo set first :)
Both boys love the Duplos!!!

Then Chase had some lunch while I started making our dinner and dessert

I can't remember what he was watching-- probably Frozen :)

Before dinner, we had a 6-egg Easter egg hunt.  Chase didn't really understand that he needed to find the eggs, but if I'd point them out, he'd rush to them, open them up, and egg the couple M & Ms inside.

After he found all 6 eggs, he had to sit in the bucket.  That's his new thing...

That occupied Chase long enough for us to finish up dinner.  We had ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, rolls, and then a raspberry cream pie.  It all turned out pretty great.  I was impressed.

Marcus was in charge of the ham and glaze

Our tiny ham 

It was so cute and just the right size.

Just about ready for dinner

Yum yum Yum

Dinnertime!

And not the best picture of a great pie.
We still have a bunch left over-- want some?

We had a nice Easter at home.  Hope you did too!

Happy Easter :)
