Easter Sunday

Today we went to Easter service and the boys were baptised. Kaden wasn't thrilled about it, he said he didn't want to get wet and asked if it was over yet. Trace took it fine but had a fat lip from his fall yesterday. We tried to get a good family photo afterwards but we were unsuccessful. Every time someone has closed eyes or was looking down, my personal favorite is the one I posted..very classy Trace. After the service we went home and ate a classic Easter lunch. Hootie left afterwards, Trace was sad to see her go, Kaden was passed out but I am sure when he wakes up he will feel the same. Easter morning photos will be posted later :)

Easter Eve

We are getting ready for the Easter Bunny here! This morning we went to an egg hunt with our friends in the neighborhood (I think combined we bought11 kids to the hunt), the boys had a lot of fun. Then we dyed Easter eggs and had a great day outdoors. Kaden fell asleep early but Trace stayed up to get carrots, eggs (for the bunny to hide) and milk (he insisted on that one) for the Easter Bunny. He also made him a thank-you card. The boys can't wait until the morning to see what the bunny brings. Hootie is here visiting so it makes the holiday all the more special! Happy Easter to all and to all a goodnight!

*Trace fell and busted his lip today so his photo smile looks a bit off*

The Easter Bunnys Coming to Town!

We went to see the Easter Bunny on Tuesday and it was our most successful try yet. Kaden was actually in the photo this year; he wasn't over the top excited about being in a giant bunny's lap, but he dealt with it. I will scan the photo later but here are some shots of our mall trip.

Dear Prudence

Our chicken Prudence laid her first egg for us today! I went outside and checked before church and low and behold Prudence had left us a present. It was very exciting, the boys were so proud. Kaden wanted to carry the egg everywhere. I made Britt snap a few photos of the boys and I and our Dear Prudence and her first egg!

Easter Party

Trace had his class Easter party and egg hunt at school. He and Grace were, as always, the cute couple. Kaden was so excited about the eggs having candy inside, all day he kept asking me if it was time to go and he clutched onto his Easter basket for dear life. We also went to another hunt this weekend and Kaden almost passed out when he saw the plenty of eggs everywhere. He and Trace collected over 50 eggs together at that one. They both decided to put their loot together and share, we have enough candy to supply Willy Wonka's factory for a year.

Kids-N-Praise

Trace had a performance today, the first one of the Spring. He did a great job and did NOT erase the video this time. Poor Kaden has been very sick all weekend so he had to stay at home today. I didn't get a very good seat because we got there a bit late and left right after to get home to Kaden, so I sat in the back. Here is the video, Trace is on the right of the group, blue shirt, 2nd row!

Sham-rockin

For St.Patrick's Day we had a dinner of corned beef and cabbage (with green beer for Britt). Trace picked out a special outfit to wear at school. Kadne wore green as well but had more fun with the cooking than wearing the attire. Alas, there were no good movies on for the holidays. All I could find on were the horror movies about a Leprecan. I would say I didn't watch them but that would be a lie, after the kids went to bed I curled up and watched the first one. I have a sweet spot for Child's Play and Leprecan movies, they are cheesy but my Mom would order pizza and rent them, so maybe it is the memories not the movies I love.
