Easter Sunday

We had a full Easter weekend!  Saturday we spent the day with the Hart's, and on Sunday, we spent time with the Muehlfeld/Wappes clan!

We started the day off by going to 8:00 a.m. church.  Church was going pretty well until I lost Jackson.  He was playing in the pew beside me, and I looked away for a moment to wipe Lincoln's nose and he was gone. He crawled under the pew and was trying to make a get-a-way. Brian caught him before he got too far.


 
After church, we visited with Great-Aunt Shirley and Great-Uncle Larry for a while.  Then the weather was so nice, we took the boys outside to run around. They loved all the open space to roam, but wore Brian and I out chasing them!

 
The boys were the entertainment for all of the Great-Aunts and Great-Uncle's on the Muehlfeld side.  They all laughed at the "production" - we had to set up their highchairs, feed the boys snacks, try to keep the tablecloth ON the table, feed the boys, and then the clean up (boys, chairs, floor, etc.).  Although it is a lot of work to travel, it is always worth seeing everyone, and sharing our boys with extended family.

 
Two of my uncles from the Wappes side came over to visit around lunch time - Uncle Bryce and Uncle Bruce.  It was great to see them, and catch up as it has been way too long!
 
After lunch, it was time for the third egg hunt of the weekend.  Check out this bunch of go-getters!


From left to right:
Lyn's two kids:
- Knox (10 weeks older than the boys)
- Lylah (age 3)
- Jackson
- Lincoln
In front, my cousin Chad's little boy:
- Levi who was just born in September. 





By now, Lincoln was a pro, and he found 13 eggs (the most eggs of all the kids)! 

Jackson looks to be "all business" in this picture, but was still pretty content as long as he had an egg in each hand. 

I love this picture!  It captures everyone's personality: Lincoln sitting and watching what is going on; Jackson curious and wanting to know what all those things are in the basket;  Lylah is being the big cousin and showing Jackson the eggs.



The boys greatly enjoyed the candy they found in the eggs...I only wish I would have taken a picture of Mawma and Pawpa's screen door with the chocolate hand prints on the glass to prove it!




After the long drive home, the boys finally got to see what the Easter Bunny brought them!  Their baskets were filled with lots of good stuff:  new socks, new onesies, books, and of course CANDY!

Thanks Easter Bunny!  BAWK BAWK!
