Easter was big time fun for the boys this year. We started the day before with a party at Valerie and Jose's house where the boys were able to see the Easter Bunny, play games, eat food, play with lots of other kids and hunt eggs.
Ethan had a tough time waiting on the line for the egg hunt to start, then when it did he got completely overwhelmed and broke down a bit. But at the first bite of chocolate, he was doing just fine.
This year, Aden became the egg-hunting pro! He was dashing around the yard like nobody's business. At one point the hunt became too easy and he started only picking up eggs of certain colors.
We also participated in the annual balloon release fro Baby Addison. The boys got to send balloons up to heaven for her to enjoy.
Guess what, Easter morning and the Easter Bunny had arrived! Aden asked about the bunny as soon as he got up and got to see his basket on the way out the door to church. Soon after this photo was taken, I caught Aden coughing until he nearly vomited in his room behind the door. He didn't want to tell me that he was feeling sick and had a sore throat. So we stayed home that morning and medicated him.
We spent lunch at LOla and Papa's house where we stuffed ourselves full of awesome food. Then headed to grandmas where she had even more food! AND... A BUNNY!
Trish, Dennis and Ravenna came up and we got to spend Ravenna's first ever Easter with her. What a treat! Josh also came by with Mia and Ava, and Bailey showed up too so we had a party!

"Come on! Let's hunt eggs!" The kids could barely contain themselves. We had over 450 eggs to find!
On your mark... we gave the littles a 10 second head start.
