Easter: Last Holiday as a Family of Three

We had a great Easter. It was the last holiday we will celebrate as a family of three so we tried to spoil Jane and take it all in. 

The Easter Bunny came and left Jane a basket outside in the backyard filled with a lot of toys and candy! When we woke her up in the morning to tell her what day it was, she thought we were headed to the neighborhood egg hunt that we went to a few weekends ago to SEE the Easter Bunny. Its so cute to see their minds work. One of these Easters, she will really get it!

We brought the basket inside and she looked through everything. There were a lot of new things so she wasn't as excited for those things. Play-doh is one. She has never played with play-doh, and she got a lot of those. I think she looked the eggs best because each one had a piece of candy in it.

After that, I made a big breakfast. Usually we go to the 9:30am church service, but we decided to have a slow morning, enjoy breakfast, and go to the 11:15 service instead. I made bunny cinnamon rolls. They burned a little but they were still good.

Somehow we still managed to be in a huge rush and almost late to church, so we waited to take pictures until after we got home from church. Church was great, but for some reason, Jane didn't have a good time in nursery. Usually she is fine and loves going in. Apparently she cried almost the whole time for us. Im not sure what happened. The good thing, it that I had no idea until we picked her up. She was crying so hard, she could hardly breath, Ive never seen her cry so hard, it was heartbreaking. Now overtime I take her in there Im going to be worried the whole time.

Its almost impossible to take a picture of Jane these days. Mr. Hunt picked her a flower (weed) and asked her to sit down. At least she was sitting still for some pictures....even if she didn't look at the camera.

Im looking very swollen these days, so this isn't my favorite picture of Mr. Hunt and I, but I realized that I don't have many of these anymore. Im always taking pictures of Jane and forgetting to get good ones of us. This wasn't planned though. I was setting up the trip-pod, this was a test run...plus Jane refused to come over.

After she say us take one together though, she ran right over.

After nap, we went to the outlet mall and bought Mr. Hunt some much needed sun glasses and ate dinner at Outback. It was a nice Easter dinner that I didn't have to cook or clean up.

When we got home, Mr. Hunt hid some Easter eggs in the backyard for Jane to have an egg hunt. She had a blast with that. Then we dyed eggs.

Once again it was fun to see her little brain working. At times it looked like she was very confused as to why we were coloring these eggs.

But she got the hang of it and loved it.

We of course talked to her about the real meaning of Eater. Our redeemer lives! I think next year that part will really click too. Next year, we will have two kids! Holidays are about to get even more fun!
