EGGstra Special!!

Easter Morning... The Bunny came!!!

Oh how we love Easter time around here! That's no secret at this point huh?!? There is always so much to do, and of course we have SO much fun doing it! This year was EGGstra special. The boys had quite a few egg hunts, decorated eggs of course and played with eggs for an entire month! Let's just say their favorite activity for the past month was playing hide and seek with plastic eggs around the house!! Oh, and let's not forget about how much they loved the Easter Bunny. Not only did the boys get lots of fun goodies from the Easter Bunny, they got to see him and talk to him a couple of different times which they thought was super cool. Maybe that's why he was so good to them! As you can tell from the picture above, the boys loved making a huge mess with their new goodies from the Easter Bunny! I have never gotten them one of those huge fancy wicker baskets, so the Easter Bunny has to get creative at our house and put things around their tiny baskets. Of course Daddy and I got up a little early and saw what the bunny had brought them and starting making bets on what they would go after first...

Daddy correctly predicted Sawyer would go straight for his new ball...

Although it was all the way in the back behind everything else.
See it behind the yellow chick ball?!?

He also thoroughly enjoyed playing with his
new chick punch balloon with Daddy!!!

And apparently loved this new Easter rubber ducky!

We were both very certain Hayden would go straight
for the new super fast pull back cars!

Too bad we were both very wrong. He went
strait for his new ball just like Sawyer!
These boys love new balls!

He did quickly make it over to the cars though...

And was extremely happy with them when he got his hands on them!

I guess the Bunny got the memo that the boys love them some movies...

I think I like the expression on Sawyer's face as much
as the one on Hayden's! Yay for new movies!:)

Running to the DVD player to start his new movie!

I'm pretty sure we are close to owning every boyish Disney movie out on DVD(maybe even a few girly ones for Momma!), but I guess the Easter Bunny found a couple we didn't have! Time to start watching those for the next two weeks until their ready to switch to another one! For those of you wondering, YES they will actually sit through an entire movie. IF they are in the mood!!! If you need them to or want them to, not so much, but if they want to... absolutely! This little collage pretty much sums up Easter morning for us...

Thank you Easter Bunny! We had so much fun!

So that summed up the morning, but look what the Easter Bunny left for the boys outside...

Yay! A sand and water table!

Of course Hayden bypassed all of the eggs the bunny left
in the grass and went straight for the ones in the sand!!

It looks like they will be having lots of fun
with their new table this summer!:)

Daddy had to work Easter day, but don't worry... I still managed to get him to take a family Easter pic with us!!!

Happy Easter 2012!

As if the Easter Bunny hadn't done enough, the boys even got a little surprise in the mail from Auntie Tiz and Uncle Ball!

Can you tell how much they LOVE getting mail?!?
They were so excited to get
into their package!

Oh, and how could I forget to mention the new Sonic game the Easter Bunny brought Hayden? He was SO excited! Almost as excited as Daddy!! They had a great time playing with it together before bed...

This is what Hayden calls FUN!!!

Remember how I told you they loved seeing the Easter Bunny this year?!?

You would have never guessed by this picture huh?!?

They probably saw the bunny at least 5 times throughout the season, but chose to act like they weren't too thrilled with him during their little photo shoot. Truth be told, this was actually the very first time we took them to see the bunny. You know, the planned time. The time you get them all dressed up and ready to go see the bunny. The important time. What child wants to cooperate during that time?!? I certainly learned one thing this season... let them go see the bunny a couple of times first before you try to get their picture with him! All of the other times we were out and saw Mr. Bunny unplanned they ran up to him and hugged him, gave him high five, chatted with him... LOVED him. Just not the planned time. As a matter of fact, we were at the mall earlier this week and Hayden said, "Let's go see the Bunny Mom." Of course we couldn't because he had already gone to his home until next year, but don't you worry this Momma will never make the planned visit mistake again. Next year the "planned" visit with the Easter Bunny will be a lot more UNplanned!

Kind of like this picture of Hayden throwing
his Easter basket full of eggs up in the air!

The unplanned stuff always turns out the best. That picture was after one of our many egg hunts that you can read all about here...

Happy Hunting!

It includes our neighborhood hunt...

The little group of neighborhood kids that just keeps growing and growing!

Our big family hunt...

Grandaddy helping the boys check out their eggs!

Hayden's school hunt...

Can you tell he was more than ready to find those eggs?!?

And even some pictures like this...

So fun!

This post was long enough without adding all the hunt pictures into it also! Speaking of long, I couldn't add the egg dying or decorating pics to this post either, but it went a little something like this...

We love "tolorin' us some eggs!"

And decorating them just adds to the fun!

You can read all about our fun with making eggs here...

Fun with Eggs...

Thank goodness for separate posts huh?!? That would have been the longest post EVER. You know I can't ever decide which pictures to leave out! Speaking of pictures, you know I couldn't let Easter come and go without taking some "Easter" pics of them right? You can find that post here...

Those are some good lookin' little men!!!

But of course I couldn't leave you without a little sneak at their cute little faces!

Hilarious right?!? Gosh, I love them!

Happy Easter Everyone!

We hope you had a fun filled month like we did!
