Easter Sunday

The Easter Bunny made his way to our house on Sunday, and the boys were so excited. Jace came and woke us up around 7:30, and we had to wait for Nixon to wake up before we headed downstairs. He didn't get up until like 8:30, so Jace waited patiently in our room until then. We let Leila sleep. The first thing the boys saw was Nerf guns!
Jace was just a little excited!



Checking out their new toys. Gotta love bed head!


Then the hunt for eggs began.

Daddy had to help Jace with this one. It was a little too high.

The Easter bunny even hid their basket! They found it in the pantry. Jace was so excited when he saw that the Easter bunny brought him Epic Mickey for the Wii. He yelled out, "Epic Mickey! I forgot I wanted this!" Luckily for him, the Easter bunny remembered! (even though, I guess he didn't need to!)

Nixon was just excited because Jace was so excited. He yelled out, "Yes! Epic Mickey!" He hasn't played it every day since Sunday like Jace has though.

Leila joined us about an hour later, and was happy to get in on all the fun!

She's so excited! Love the toothy smile!

After church, we headed over to Grandma Bills house for a yummy Easter dinner of ham, scalloped potatoes, salad, Grandma B's famous orange rolls, and, of course, deviled eggs. We had to get an Easter picture of the whole fam. I picked out everyones outfits to coordinate, and didn't mention it to Brock, so when he walked out of the closet with a green tie on I made him go change it to blue to match! I know, matchy matchy. I love it!


I love my beautiful family!

And of course, I had to get a mother/daughter picture!

Olive fingers! It's just part of being a kid right?

In putting this post together, I am noticing that I take way more pictures of Leila than the boys. It is my goal from here on out, to even that out! I really don't love her more, I just love her clothes more!

I used to always wonder why people would change their daughters out of their adorable Sunday dresses as soon as church was over. I just love seeing Leila in a pretty dress. The picture below explains it. She can't crawl! Her dress gets stuck underneath her, and she can't move very well. She kept getting so mad!

Oh my gosh! She's beautiful!

I had to get some more standing pictures.

My parents got this dress for Leila for her birthday, and I just love it! So classy.

She's my happy little girl!

Grandma Bills has a really cute bunny that plays music and jumps. Leila LOVES it! She dances, and bounces, and giggles every time the boys turn it on.

Leila crosses her ankles a lot when she sits down, and I just love it.

So happy!

Gotta love the tongue!

Easter Eve

After my Grandfather's party we went to Grandma and Grandpa K's to celebrate Easter a little early. They have church at 9:00, we have church at 11:00, and Brett and Kallie at 1:00, so there wasn't really a good time to get together Sunday morning. Luckily we had an "in" with the Easter Bunny, and asked if he could come early. He DID! (She?)

First, the boys all got to search outside for eggs. They had so much fun. I love seeing them get so excited when they see one.

Aunt Natalie helped Jace get his out of the mailbox. That silly Easter Bunny!

Nixon, Jace, and Beckett with all their goods.

I sure love these boys!

And I'm glad they love each other so much! (most of the time!)

Shauna (or maybe it was Kallie) found these fun eggs that were full of confetti. The boys had fun breaking them on people's heads. Nixon just kept wanting to do it to Aunt Natalie!

Then it became a train, and Jace did it to Nix, while Nix did it to Natalie.

Nixon with confetti in his hair. I know, he needs a hair cut! (He actually got his hair cut since these pictures!)

We then went inside for the adult hunt, and Leila even found some eggs with her name on them!

Always with the tongue out!

Brock searching up high.

Leila searching in the couch.

Here we all are checking out our loot. Each family had a basket we had to find also. Ours was in the trunk of Shauna's car! How did the Easter bunny get it in there?

Then we decided to dye some eggs. I know, a little backwards, but we had fun!

Grandma had a fun little egg dyer. You would put your white egg in the spinner, put a few drops of whatever colors you wanted, put the lid on, and start pushing the button to spin the egg! The boys loved it, and the eggs turned out really cute!

Then we had a BBQ, and Kallie made a Skookie. One of those yummy skillet cookies with ice cream. It was such a fun day!
