We were very fortunate to have Leland's parents come down for Easter and stay for a week. We stayed busy every day and it helped that the weather was beautiful while they were here too. We have been working on landscaping in front of the house, so we made a trip down to the farmers market in downtown Dallas to pick up some flats of flowers and fresh produce. There is nothing like fresh tomatoes and watermelon, yummy!
Corinth has a Easter egg hunt each each, but we couldn't make it to the one this year because Parker had a soccer game at the same time as the Easter egg hunt, so we decided to have one at the house. Leland's mom and I filled the eggs while the boys were taking a nap and then hid them around the house. We did the hunt on Saturday before Easter because we were expecting rain for Easter Sunday. We also included a BIG yellow egg that was the golden egg that had a big prize in it for Parker. Parker has been asking for a pair of goggles that he can wear in the pool this summer, so I decided to go out and get him a pair. They fit perfectly in the yellow egg.
Nathan had a blast looking for the eggs and putting them into his bag( he didn't have a Easter basket, so he used a bag I had laying around from bath and body works, I know cheesy right?) Grandma and Grandpa got each of the boys their own Easter basket, but they didn't open them until Easter Sunday.
We went to church Easter morning. I was a little worried how the boys would be since church was so packed and it was at 11:30am which is lunch time, but Nathan fell asleep half way through the mass and Parker was very well behaved. We captured a nice family picture before we went to church. We had a nice Easter dinner after church of a spiral ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, raisin bran muffins, jello, devil eggs, and a very special rabbit cake we made. I will include separate pictures in the next blog.
