Easter 2013

So we actually celebrated Easter over 2 weekends and several days. The weekend before Easter (March 23rd) we have Jackie, Zack, and Glavin over for a Easter egg hunt and lunch. The weather went from fabulous that week to freezing and snowing that weekend so we had to do the hunt inside. Our fridge went out on March 19th and Sears couldn't fix it until March 28th so we ordered pizza for our lunch. The boys had a lot of fun and it was funny to see how they found their eggs. Glavin knew what to do and knew to put his eggs in the bucket. Jensen on the other hand... he wasn't sure what to do! He would find an egg, open it, drop the plastic egg on the floor, and want to eat the candy through the foil wrapper. We finally tried showing him to put his eggs in his bucket and keep moving, but I guess it was a confusing concept.

The following Saturday (March 30th) we went to Little Gym, got Jensen's first haircut done at Cookie Cutters in Draper, and then went to my grandma's house for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. It was a busy morning. Jensen did great at the Little Gym (as usual) and actually participated in circle time without crying! We went straight from the gym to Cookie Cutters and Jensen was calm until the hair stylist actually started cutting and it got worse when she sprayed his hair with a water bottle! Luckily it only took her 10 minutes and he got a balloon out of the deal. Oh and I got a piece of his hair to scrapbook. The Easter egg hunt went pretty similar to the one the previous weekend - Jensen opened every egg first! At least the weather was fantastic and Jensen loved being around all of our family. I should have taken more pictures of family that was there, but I got too wrapped up in taking pictures of Jensen since this was such a good Easter egg hunt! Sunday we went to breakfast with my mom and played in her backyard after and had Jensen open his basket from the bunny there. Then that afternoon we went to Corey's parents house to have dinner and play in the backyard. Corey's aunt Eileen and grandma Donna were there. We had a great time.

Here a billion pictures to prove how fun our Easter celebration (and weekend) was:
