Easter

Hunter was born on Easter 3 years ago, so while it isn't his actual birthday, it's still extra special in our house. We had a lot of fun this year as I still try to get the hang of this holiday planning/traditions/special ideas that mommies (especially mine!) do so well! Hunter "gets" the Easter Bunny for the most part. We didn't talk him up as much as Santa, but we did happen to unexpectedly run into him at the Domain the other day, so we took a picture and that helped.

We were only there to get Hunter new shoes, so I was totally unprepared and normally would have dressed them in cuter outfits, but it is what it is. Cole was actually still in his sleeper. Oops.

Yesterday, Hunter colored Easter eggs for the first time. He was very interested in watching them boil and couldn't stand to wait to dip them in the colored water. He was so excited and liked mixing colors and applying Cars stickers.

We had a nice day today. The kids got up to see what the Easter Bunny left, we made it to church almost on time, went out to eat, came home for naps and then smashed some cascarones in the back yard.

Side note: For all of you Yankees like me.....here is a quick explanation of cascarones. I had no idea what they were until last year.

Here is what they look like.... (Well, at least the kind that you buy at the grocery store. I suppose you could make your own, which would be cute and potentially fun, but also a LOT of work and would require way more time that I have right now!)


I thought everyone looked so handsome. I swear, one of the reasons I was excited that Cole ended up being a boy was so I could dress them in matching outfits. :) Here are some other pictures from our weekend!

Maggie got a little cascarone action too. Yes, that's a cone on her head and yes, she's a mess. If it is good luck that they bring, hopefully they bring a little to her because poor little girl could use some right now!
Happy Easter!
