Easter Weekend 2014

Easter is so much better once you have a little one!!! We had a wonderful weekend celebrating with lots of family. On Friday, I had the day off, so Myla and I did some laundry and relaxed until Brian got home around 1pm. We all headed to the Snack Bar to have some lunch. I had what I always have...grilled cheese and french fries. Myla helped me chow down. She loves to feed herself nowadays. With our full bellies, we headed to Walmart for some grocery shopping then headed back home and relaxed. We had to rest up for all of the Easter activities we had coming up! Brian headed to his football game and I listened to D.J. pitch on the radio and then hit the sack!
We were up and at 'em on Saturday morning getting all ready for the Easter egg hunt at the park behind our house and Myla was excited to meet the Easter Bunny. My parents, Brian's dad, and the Williams' were all coming to watch and Jayden to join in. Before the hunt, Myla met the Easter Bunny and she just stared at him in amazement. She has no idea what to think of these giant characters we always take her to see! Once Jayden arrived, they sat on his lap together. Jayden hugged him and Myla cried....hahaha!

Then it was time for the egg hunt. Myla and Jayden were both in the 2 and under age group....what an age gap between Myla and Jayden. Myla just sat and played with the eggs and Jayden gathered up as many as her could. It was so cute!

The each got a prize for collecting 10 eggs. Myla's was a rubber ducky. Afterwards, we played at the playground for a little bit and then headed back to the house. We grilled out hot dogs for the Williams' and sat on the back deck. Then, we dyed easter eggs! Myla watched and Jayden broke every egg, but did manage to get them dyed....hahaha! Oh and my picnic table might be a nice shade of blue now since the first thing Jayden did was spill the blue dye.

Daddy made Myla her first egg!

So fun! After all the excitement, we headed inside, played in the playroom, and then all watched Turbo. Well, some did, and some fell asleep.

On Sunday, we couldn't wait for Myla to wake up fast enough to see her Easter basket. She loved loved loved playing with her plastic eggs and pulling everything out of the basket and throwing it. It's a fun new game she loves to play. Her Easter basket included some fun stuff and some practical stuff....new shoes, new pants, bibs, a kitty cat handmade doll, a Mickey mouse ball, little cars, peeps, a flashing necklace, bubbles, and more.

Once we finished, we headed to my parents for breakfast and to get my Easter basket. Yep, I still get one and I have to find where it is! Loved mini eggs and my cash!! After we ate, we all headed to the park to hide eggs for Jayden and play on the swings and slides.

Then, it was time for us to head to Nana and Nanny's house for easter lunch/dinner. We had tons of food and of course, they had a huge Easter basket for Myla and one for baby boy too. Lots of new clothes and toys!!!
