Easter

This Easter was sure fun with Nolan, and we were SO excited to hide the eggs and watch him find them!

I had actually been thinking about and planning for Easter for a few weeks beforehand and almost bought some things a few times, but thought that maybe since this is Nolan's first real Easter, Justin might want to be there to pick stuff out. However, life got in the way and all the sudden it was Saturday night at 9pm and I'm running around to 3 different stores trying to find Easter eggs that aren't shaped like jelly beans, and that crappy Easter grass, because everyone is sold out!

But you know what the funny thing was? Even though I was stressing out a little that we could actually botch Nolan's first Easter ☺ my mind kept going to my parents and how they must have done similar things when I was young. Who knows how many times they filled Easter eggs well into the night, or cleaned up the living room we had trashed that day just so the Easter baskets looked perfect all standing in a row in front of the fireplace? And hopefully like me, even though they were a little stressed, they couldn't wait to see the smile on their children's faces in the morning and watch them hunt for the eggs they had fun hiding!

Nolan hunting for eggs. It was adorable! We would kind of point out the eggs to him and then he'd go over and grab it with a huge smile and shake the daylights out of it.

Nolan's loot

This was his favorite find.

Later that evening we had Paul over for dinner and of course at Justin's request at his pineapple and brown sugar ham and mashed potatoes!

We have got to teach Nolan about the dangers of texting while walking ☺
