We had so much fun this past Easter! We had a very busy weekend with family and friends and have lots of pictures to show for it!
Jack and I started the festivities Friday morning by dyeing the deviled eggs I was making. He helped me put the color tablet in the glass, fill it with water, then dip the eggs in there! The hardest part for him was waiting for them to fully get colored before taking them back out! He was such a good helper, though!
Later that night, we went over to Mama Becky and Daddy Mer's for dinner. We had a delicious meal, and then several selections for dessert. I had personally brought over s'mores for the kids, and even tried out blue peeps to make them Easter s'mores, and they were a hit. Jake, Brooke, and Blakely at least loved them, but Jack didn't understand what to do with the marshmallow being blue.
After dessert, MB and DM gave all the kids their Easter bags. Jack got lots of goodies, and he especially loved his ring pop. He even held it high for everyone to see.
Saturday morning we had Jack's friend Sawyer's 2nd birthday party. It was held at a fire station that also had a pavilion and park behind it. We had a great time and we are so excited for Sawyer that he is now in the cool 2 year olds club.
The birthday boy!
Jack got to try out the hat and truck too!
After the party, we went over to Papa and Sherbo's for lunch. We had another delicious meal, plus Jack got another Easter bag from Papa and Sherbo. He got more wonderful things to play with and of course eat!

Time to go hunt for Easter eggs!
Now enough with the Easter eggs, it's time to play!

Easter morning! Jesus is Risen! We enjoyed so much explaining to Jack this year about Jesus dying for our sins and then rising from the dead! He learned more in Sunday School that morning, too, and kept telling everyone that day "Jesus is Alive!" Yes he is buddy!
That morning before church, though, we did show him that the Easter Bunny came to see him! He loved going through his basket to see all the new goodies and candy! We even let him have some candy before his real breakfast. I guess that's allowed on Easter and Christmas, right?
Sweet boy in his Easter outfit!
After church we had lunch at Mama Becky and Daddy Mer's house! We didn't think it was possible 3 times in one weekend, but yes, we had another great meal, and more Easter fun with family!

We left him alone for one minute, and he got a hold of the Redi-Whip can!
We had such a wonderful time with everyone and we are so grateful for all of our meals and Jack's gifts, and especially for God's Love for us!
Here is a video from that weekend!
