easter sunday

we had some happy kiddos easter morning. my favorite part is that they are just as happy for each other. 

they only offer childcare for children under 3 on easter so we had all of the bigs with us while we served first hour. as you can see, the bigs were excited to be in manning's story time. manning? not so much. i think he was pretty tired from getting up so early with the baskets. i think he was up at 5am or so.

we did get a fairly decent family picture after service - 5 out of 6 isn't too bad.

we made the kids wait until after lunch (where matt and i tag teamed to make custom order eggs and bacon. delicious but very time consuming!). this year, i made each kid 20 eggs in a single color (or colors), 10 eggs had jelly beans and 10 had coins. but i couldn't remember if it was mason's blue eggs or maddux' orange eggs that i had to supplement with green. they were great sports about it and worked as a team to make sure everyone found all of their eggs. the rule was that they couldn't 'help' unless they were asked.

it was a very nice and relaxed easter at home. He is risen! love.
