I have had a really hard time deciding if I wanted to post about Easter at all this year. #1 because I really don't have any memory of it and #2 I feel like I have completely dropped the ball this holiday :( I know I have good reason but still being a mom makes me feel like I should have been on top of this one. Why wasn't I completely ready before the weekend started???? No cute Easter clothes for the boys this year, No cute Easter dress for Blakley this year, No Easter bonnet for me...hehehe! Next Year I promise (except for the bonnet)! But after all, I remembered that this holiday was about the kids and they completed LOVED it. Everyone picked up the pieces and it came together!
Since I was still in the hospital on Easter morning, the Easter Bunny decided he would visit my kids when I got home. Lucky for them the doctors released me on that Sunday afternoon so they only had to wait an extra day. I think originally they were talking that I would be there at least two more days. I was so glad to be home!
Sunday afternoon, my parents had the family over for dinner and fun!
There was only three rules:
Rule #1: Find as many eggs as you can
1....2....3
And they're off!
Blakley took her time and found some.
She wanted to get them all by herself. No help!
Rule #2: Find a bucket filled with lots of goodies!
Blakley found hers and it was jammed packed with princess stuff. YAY!!! So fun get girlie stuff for a change:)
Guess this proves I was there?!?! lol
If only I looked better for the day!
Poor Tanner was looking and looking for his basket. He couldn't find it anywhere. After Clint, Cody and Shane asked each other who hid it they realized that his was still in my parent's bedroom. Luckily, they side tracked him enough for them to hide it without him seeing. He had no ideal it was forgotten. Good Cover guys!
(I had no ideal this happened, lol! I just read it on Wendy's blog! Thanks Wends for remembering everything about that day!)
Troy needed a little help to get his!
Looks like Carter got his OK!
Good Job Buddy!
Rule #3: Enjoy the day with the family!
It's funny (at least to me) finding all of these pictures on my camera because I really do not remember ANYTHING from that day. Cody came over a while after and started talking about it and I thought he was kidding about the whole thing. It wasn't till I looked at these pictures did I finally believe him. Gees! That whole hospital thing took ALOT out of me:) Glad I'm better now!
That night, Troy set out their Easter Baskets for the Bunny to fill! He couldn't find Carter's so he wrote him a little note with instructions on where to leave Carter's stuff! LOL! Love that boy! And we couldn't forget the carrots and ranch!
The kids all LOVED what they got and I am soooo THANKFUL for the Bunny(s) this year for helping out and filling the baskets! I really means a lot to me!
Happy Easter!
