Easter Pictures

 Easter morning started out with the boys finding their Easter baskets and Vale running around the house screaming, "He's ALIVE"!! :) As sweet as that is, I'm not sure that our neighbors appreciated it... :-/

 My boys have such an endearing way of obnoxiously announcing the truth...

Of course, I went completely over board on the baskets but I have fun doing it and they love it.

Vale's was hidden by the door and he found it in about 3 minutes.

Connor's was a little bit more challenging, stashed in the cupboard and daddy had to give some direction after he got a little frustrated... :)

It appears it was worth the wait though!

I then dressed them for church which is always a challenge with sugar coursing through their little veins... 

This one was easy.  Out. Cold.

Sweet boys at church...

I really love how much they love each other. It  makes my heart happy.

Yup, best pic I could get of all three... sigh... 

After church, we had an Easter egg hunt at the Gregory's house.

They pretty much loved it. :)

Thanks to Uncle Will and Amelia for hiding the 43,674 eggs! :)

I forgot their baskets but they were ok with just using bags!

HA! Emma's like, 'Did you guys know these have jelly beans in them?  That. Is. Amazing." :)

Uncle Brett and Baby Schafer had some bonding time.

It took him probably 3 minutes to find this egg... with us pointing at it. :) HAHAHA I love children!

He found this one though!

Connor was in like hyper speed.  He collected at least twice as many eggs as all the other kids.  He wouldn't stop to take a picture so here's the best I got. :)

Our boys are studs... lets just face it. 

'Move over swing, I'm coming through!'

Vale resorted to collecting rocks in that yellow little bucket and putting them in his bag... sigh... boys will be boys I suppose.

A good time was had by all and then we took daddy Easter dinner at work so we could spend the rest of the day together! :)

I got a couple of photos on my phone but they are mostly blurry...

Kids won't stand still!

(I think he's got something living in his hair... it looks like a nest...)

They are sweet boys.

Through all the hub-bub, candy, eggs and cute outfits we actually had a wonderful time in the morning celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I love that both of my boys told me their stories from nursery and it was the same, but slightly different comprehension levels of the resurrection. Vale kept saying, 'Jesus died on the cross for my sin, and the big stone was rolled away and he's ALIVE!!' :)  Connor's was a little more in-dept with a tomb, the angel, Jesus' friends, etc... I am so glad that I can freely worship my Risen Savior on this wonderful holiday!
