Easter

Easter was great this year. We did most of our Easter celebration on Saturday so Sunday we could focus on Christ. My parents always did that for us and I really liked that we made Sunday about Christ instead of candy, eggs, and bunnies LOL, so Dan and I decided to carry on that tradition.

With that being said, Dan had studying to do on Saturday so instead of waking up and doing our Easter stuff first thing in the morning, we decided to wait until Dan got his stuff done and then spend the rest of the night as a family.

First thing we did was we had a little easter egg hunt for Jaxon in the back yard. We just hid a dozen plastic eggs with a few little things in them and some candy - he had a blast running around the yard and putting them in his blue bucket haha. He would get so excited when he would find another one and he would run so fast to it, pick it up, shake it, and then put it in the bucket! It was so dang cute. I filmed the entire thing so I didn't take pictures which I am so sad about - I totally wasn't even thinking about it - but oh well.

Then we came inside - opened the eggs, he had some candy, and it was time to look for his easter basket. We asked him "where do you like to hide Jaxon?" as a hint... he went to all his favorite hiding spots until he got to the one where his basket was haha - he was so excited when we opened it and he saw all the fun things in there!

He found his basket - don't mind the recess egg in his mouth LOL

He saw the new sippy cup first

Jaxon's Easter Loot

Getting so excited for dad to open his golf clubs

He loved pulling them around

the pro teaching Jax how it's done... I bet you can guess who got hit with the ball! They were aiming right at me! haha!

We opened his easter basket - let him play with some of his toys, and then it was time to dye easter eggs.

Jaxon loved coloring on the eggs with the crayon and then telling us which color to put the egg in to dye it.

The eggs were simple - Jax didn't have patience for doing much more - but I think they turned out great! 

Mom and dads baskets!

It was such a fun day! I love my little family!

Sunday was a wonderful day as well, we had a great time at church learning about the Savior and remembering his sacrifice for us. We loved being able to relax, and enjoy each other on Sunday. Jaxon is so cute now and recognizes Jesus in all the pictures at church, so as we are walking down the halls in church he says Jesus every time he sees him - it made it more fun teaching him what Easter is really about when we would show him the pictures and he would recognize Jesus and get excited about him. We are grateful for our Savior and his sacrifice for us, and we are grateful that there is a day dedicated to remembering the resurrection. HAPPY EASTER!

I tried getting a picture of Jaxon in his easter outfit - and these were what I got. He says cheese now every time he sees a camera... so it makes it hard to get a cute smile - but at least I got to capture his funny personality! :) And we did get one family picture on Sunday as well! Yeah!

He loves his golf clubs - he had to play with them before we went to church
