.eggs and all that.

What a crazy and beautiful weekend was had around these parts.  I just have to say having kids that "get it," makes holidays 100% more enjoyable.  Leading up to Easter weekend, we talked to Finn about  dying Easter eggs, baskets, candy, Easter egg hunts, and the like.  He picked out a lovely carnation colored basket at the store, and seemed especially excited about all the egg talk.  Friday night we dyed our eggs, and did a small egg hunt with the colored eggs after.  He LOVED it!  He would have gone all night if we had let him.

he kept picking up and dropping the eggs in and out of the colors

for the life of me I can't get an honest smile out of this kid

Saturday we had our annual Sullivan picnic and Easter egg hunt.  The weather was nearly perfect, with plenty of warm sun that was so appreciated after our long cold winter.

I love his eager point while searching for eggs

He thoroughly enjoyed the Easter egg hunt, and has grabbed his basket everyday since declaring, "eggs? eggs? eggs?".  I asked him what picture he wanted to color today, and he announced loudly, "Eggs!"

Sunday I wanted to keep it low key and focused more on our Savior, but we did have a few small things for the kids.

 Finn loved this puzzle...especially jumping and throwing the pieces after it was all put together

I love these beautiful children of mine.  I even got Finn to NOT smile!
