Easter

We did an egg hunt in the backyard the night before and the boys loved it! (of course). As we watched them excitedly running after eggs I turned to Justin and said, "Gosh it's fun to be a parent!" As hard and exhausting as it is sometimes, it's so wonderful and brings me more joy than I ever thought I could have. These little ones are so fun and special!

We picked up Chic-fil-A for dinner and the boys had the idea to eat it in the basement while watching the movie 'Hop.' I think they were a little surprised when we looked at each other and said, "Sure! Let's do it!" 

Last year I found a great idea on a blog where you use little items and scriptures inside of Easter Eggs to tell the Easter story. The boys loved it last year so we did it again this year. It's perfect because they love getting to open an egg each night and seeing what's inside. It takes all of 2 min so it's totally do-able and they get a pretty good grasp of the basic story.

In fact, it was so cute, the night before Easter as we put the boys to bed Branson excitedly said, "I just don't think I can sleep tonight because I'm so excited that Jesus rised again!" Melt my heart sweet boy.

Checking out what the Easter bunny brought them on Easter morning! Branson said, "Wow, this Easter bunny is so thoughtful!" And Nolan had written a note to the Easter bunny a few days before asking him to make sure to bring a basket for Caden so he was so happy to find a basket for his baby brother ♡

My sweet ministering sister dropped off some adorable Easter donuts from Krispy Kreme so of course the boys were in heaven!
