Easter

Yes, I'm behind and just getting this up now. Deal with it.

Beautiful weather on Easter Sunday, perhaps even a little too warm for those cute Easter sweater vests my boys were to wear but I made them wear them anyway. I woke up to find that while we were out of town the day before, our yard had suddenly come into full spring bloom.



Anyone know what this flower/shrub is? It blooms with this big purple flowers in the spring that smell fabulous. It looks kind of silly though since there are no leaves on it. The flowers go away and it ends up being this not very full, not very tall bush that has some green leaves on it for the rest of summer. In the fall all the leaves fall off and it is this weird looking bunch of sticks in my yard until the flowers come out again in the spring.


Then it was up with the kids and getting that typical Easter stuff taken care of. We had an Easter egg hunt and then attacked those Easter baskets.


We skipped out on church and instead went to a park so Marcus could try out his new bike. He was a bit tentative at first but quickly got the hang of it.



Will was cracking me up every time he would go down this small hill and insisted on putting his feet as high into the air as he could get them.


After nap, we got all dolled up and headed off to dinner with my family.


More Easter baskets and more egg hunts later, Easter was finally coming to a close.


It was a fabulous Easter weekend... from what I remember since it happened so long ago. Happy Spring!
