Happy Easter

The Easter bunny visited the boys and left lots of goodies.
He left a trail of jelly beans from both boys' bedrooms down the stairs to the family room. It was hard to keep Cooper from nibbling them, so we held him back until the boys woke up. At first Ryland thought the bunny made a mess, but we explained that he put them out so they could find the baskets.
Ryland was thrilled to see a new coloring book about Firefighters!
Reed looked through his goodies, and then he started sneaking to Ryland's stash. He had his eye on the carrot golf club.
A quick smile while wearing the bunny mask, and it was time to get ready for church. We have been talking a lot about Easter, but Ryland doesn't get that Jesus grew up. He still refers to him as Baby Jesus. We have a great board book that is age appropriate, and we have been reading it in hopes of it clicking one day. We attended the N'awlins Gumbo Kings service, and Ryland was excited to come to big church with mommy and daddy. Reed made it for about 15 minutes before heading to the nursery.
After church and a late lunch at MiCocina, we came home for short naps before hunting eggs. The silly Easter bunny hid some eggs low and some high. We think he was trying to allow both boys to find eggs.
The butterflies were beautiful today. There were about 5 or 6 that were all over one of our bushes in the backyard.
Reed found two eggs.
The eggs were crushed, but that didn't stop the fun. Go get them, Reed.
Since we had a good bit of rain Easter morning, the eggs were suffering. The dye was getting pretty messy. The bright color was rubbing off everywhere.
Ryland was once again covered in dye and this time he was over it! The egg hunt is a wrap.
