Easter Morning

We did not see the Easter bunny or do any egg hunts this year. I wasn't trying to be a fuddy-duddy, but sometimes, it bothers me how commercialized holidays have become. I want our boys to know why we celebrate Easter and that is has nothing to do with eggs or Easter baskets. We talked to Camden about Good Friday being the day Jesus was crucified and why he had to die and also that we celebrate Easter Sunday because that is the day Jesus rose from the grave.
We still hid eggs for them around the house and the Easter Bunny delivered baskets, but I am glad that was not our main focus. Among the eggs were two resurrection eggs that I plan to hide every year. Once the boys opened their eggs, they each got a resurrection egg and Camden told Jaden what each item stood for. He did a great job! Then, we were off to Victory to celebrate our risen Savior!

More Easter fun

We had more fun hunting eggs and opening Easter baskets at Papa and Gamma's after church. I love all the excitement on Jaden's face-it was priceless! On the other hand, Camden was like a little speed demon. I couldn't keep up with him to take pictures. He was on a mission!

Dyeing Eggs...or hands?

Aunt Beth invited us up to dye Easter eggs today. We even convinced Nick to come out of his room and join us for a few eggs. Jaden made more of a mess than anything. I had the great idea of using shaving cream and food coloring that I had seen on Pinterest. Well, let's just say I was afraid Camden's hands were going to be dyed for Easter Sunday. The kids had a good time and that's all that matters in the end!

Todd and Amy?

Little Moments

J Bear decided he wanted to take a shower with Daddy and Bubby, but once inside, he did NOT like it. Momma to the rescue! But Camden really wanted him to get back in and kept trying to coax him in. I had to run and get my phone to capture this moment because I want to remember it. I love these little moments of our little family.

Sunday Funday

After 4 long months in the NICU, Baby Jackson was finally able to come home! Aunt Andrea knew McKinley might have a hard time sharing Mommy and Daddy, so I got her a baby doll of her own! I am so thankful Jackson is home and doing well and I can't wait to watch him grow.
