Easter 2014

We had a great time celebrating Easter! Henry and I made these bunny hand prints to send to family last week. Steven and I both had Good Friday off, so Steven headed to golf with a friend while Henry and I went to a play date. We normally can't participate in these because of school, so I was excited to get to take him to one. It ended up being our only true egg hunt, which made it all the better we went! After nap, we met Steven in Guntersville to camp for the evening! We wanted to take Henry before baby sis comes along, and this ended up being the perfect wknd to take advantage of it since we had an extra day. We had a lot of fun! On Sunday we enjoyed church and time together. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend celebrating the Resurrection! 

Henry was interested in picking up the eggs at the egg hunt, but his motivation was piqued when he realized there was chocolate in the eggs!!

"Look. Look, Momma, Look."

There was a big crowd!!

Tons of kids were there...thanks, Rachel for hosting us!

Henry's "cheese" face-sigh.

We got our site all set up and grilled dinner over the fire. Henry was pleased! He loved exploring and being able to stay in his favorite place-outside!

Steven does the majority of the "grunt" work when we camp. While it is a lot of work for us both, it is also a great way to be together just to hang out, so it's worth it! "The family that camps together, stays together!" so they say!

Here we are heading to the playground-beautiful sunset and lake in the background!

The slide was Henry's favorite part, but it was super fast and high (one of those old school metal ones), so we had to help him (even though he didn't want us to!)

 

We roasted marshmallows after the playground, which Henry loved. He sat next to the fire in his chair like a little man and waited on his treat. 

 

I wasn't so sure, but Henry did great sleeping while we camped. He slept his normal night despite unusual noises and being with us in the tent in his pack n play. The next morning, we cooked a big breakfast, explored a little, and packed up to head home-exhausted of course! Luckily we had the rest of the day to hang out and recuperate.

On Sunday morning, Henry woke to a full Easter basket! He got the book "I am a bunny", window clings, a goldfish "carrot", 2 eggs with stickers and a piece of chocolate in each, and a little white chocolate bunny. He loved it!

A little chocolate first thing in the morning just sets the day off right, doesn't it?

Here he is working with his stickers.

Window clings on the face is funny!

Decorating the window was fun, too!

Before church, we attempted some pics out back of our bow-tied boy!

Handsome!

Steven and I weren't necessarily loving ourselves in this pic....but our boy is lookin good!

One more of the Easter boy!

On Sunday we dyed some eggs.

Henry had fun watching the eggs change colors, then point out which was his favorite. Happy Easter, everyone!
