Easter

This was such a fun Easter because Nathan was old enough to actually understand what was going on.  Nathan kind of has to let things sink in for awhile so we have been talking about Easter at our house for probably a good two months.  So when Easter morning finally rolled around he was so excited he could barely stand it.

We had the Easter baskets and plastic eggs out and ready to go so that when Nathan woke up he would find them all on his own.  So that morning I woke up to Nathan excitedly talking to Logan saying things like "Logan look at the eggs" and "Logan did you see your present!"  So I got up and went in to the living room and Nathan was actually in Logan's crib with a handful of Easter eggs.

Matt was still sleeping and I wanted to wait to do baskets until he got up but I did let Nathan play with the eggs for awhile.  At about 9:00 Nathan couldn't stand it anymore and snuck into our room to wake up Matt.  The first present he opened was the Pokey Little Puppy book that he had been asking for.  I didn't think he would care too much about a book but he opened the paper and screamed, "The Pokey Little Puppy! I love this book!"  So cute.  We also got him a planes book and three planes from the Disney movie Planes which he is absolutely obsessed with.  Nathan then was so nice and helped Logan open his gifts.

I didn't get any pictures but the boys wore really cute matching outfits.  We went to church at our ward and then headed over to my mom's house for Easter lunch.  She made ham, turkey, potato salad, fruit salad and rolls.  Brittany, Shawn, Emily, Paisley and both of my parents were there.  Lunch was awesome and it was fun to eat early and then spend all afternoon hanging out with each other.

That night we headed back home and spent the night with Matt's parents and brother.  The kids were exhausted from not taking naps and so Easter ended early when Nathan asked to go to bed at 7:30.  Which was really nice because Matt and I got a ton of time to spend together that night.  It was such a fun day with my husband, kids and family and I'm so grateful that because of Jesus Christ I get to be with them forever.
