The Life of Liam & Mason: Easter 2015

Easter is one of my favorite holidays from the coloring of the eggs to a big Easter egg hunt to just spending time with family. As a kid it was something I always looked forward to and I still look forward to it. And now that I have kids of my own and can share these traditions with them it makes it even more fun.

This year we did something new, we went to Grandma Terry's work Easter egg hunt. There was a lot of people there and it was a little chaotic but the kids had fun. Though I was completely wrong about Liam thinking he'd be fine on his own. I had Mason and was going to help him find eggs and kept telling Liam, "just run out there when they say go and grab as many as you can". That backfired big time, when they said go and everyone swarmed in Liam freaked out and froze. Luckily Grandpa Dave wasn't to far away and jumped in to help him out. But both Liam and Mason had a lot of fun and got some goodies!

Before the chaos!

This is what organized chaos looks like!

Next up was coloring Easter eggs and getting ready for the Easter Bunny's arrival. Our neighbors, Dave and Stephanie, came over to watch some March Madness games. They had no idea they'd be helping us color eggs too! I think Liam colored one or two and then we colored the rest.

Silly boy!

On Easter, we went down to the ranch and had a great time with Grandma Terry and Grandpa Dave, Uncle Keith, Aunt Cari, and cousins Ridge and Sage. Jenneca, Jesse, and Justin also joined in on the fun. The kids were getting antsy by the time everyone arrived so we put a movie in to keep the kiddos distracted long enough to let the Easter Bunny do his magic outside aka let a few of the adults sneak outside so we could hide the baskets and eggs. This is the part I absolutely love because when we were kids this is what our parents did to us and they were the ones who'd sneak outside. Now they stay in with their grand kids while we go outside. Once everything was hidden we snuck back inside and told the kids we better check outside and see if the Easter Bunny had arrived. Then it's chaos as everyone grabs a basket and races outside to find all the goodies.
