Easter Sunday

What a busy day. I was up at 6:30 to get a head start on the day. Jacob and Sam were up at about 7:30. They found their eggs that the Easter Bunny left them with clues on them on the where abouts of their Easter baskets. We woke up daddy and Jacob started the search. He found Sam's first - it was pretty easy to find - in dad and mom's bathroom under the sink. Sam found the plastic eggs filled with Cheerios (figured it was better then trying to stop him from putting chocolate in his mouth). He opened the eggs and of course Cheerios spilled out all over, but the dog was right there to eat them up. Jacob's was a little harder to find - hey I had to make it harder, he found out about the Easter Bunny, so I figured I would really make him work for it now! But he found his, outside on the back deck (his clue was "it's someplace where there is a light bulb"). Jacob and Sam went through their baskets and within fifteen minutes that was over. Sam was hungry for breakfast and Jacob wanted to play video games. We actually were all ready to leave for church on time and got there 10 minutes early(just as I had planned so we would get a seat). Sam and church do not go together lately and so Andy and I took turns walking around with him. Andy tried to put him in the nursery and it worked... for about 10 minutes until another kid stepped on him (how dare they!). So after church it was back home for a quick lunch for Sam then him and I went off to my grandparents. Spent some time there, Sam got a ride-on four wheeler from his great grandparents and a new toy and book for his grandparents. After dinner there we were on our way to meet up with Andy and Jacob at my brother and sister in laws. By 6:00 Jacob had spent probably five hours playing video games and Sam was a complete wreck. All in all is was a great day, although I don't think Sam had any idea it was his first Easter. You can see more pictures here.

Sam's basket is so cute! We filled Katie's with Cheerios and graham crackers, too. I agree, no sense filling it with chocolate just to have to wrestle it away as they find it! Cute blog!
