Easter 2013 was pretty low key this year but it was so nice. We got ready for Easter on Saturday by baking cookies for the Easter bunny because according to Joseph the bunny wanted to eat cookies and carrots so we had to leave both out for him. We also colored eggs and Joseph really got into both of the activities which was just so fun to watch!
Ella also joined in on the pre-Easter fun by modeling her adorable bunny outfit from Nani and Poppa.
The Easter Bunny came and although he forgot to hide our baskets and just left them in front of the fireplace he did bring some goodies for everyone and ate all of the cookies and most of the carrots. He left Joseph a note letting him know how delicious the cookies were and also to remember that the real reason of Easter isn't just about bunnies but is to remember that Jesus loves us.
Here is the video from Easter morning when J woke up-I just love at the end how he says, "I love it." He has been saying that recently along with "I love them, they're my favorite" and it just makes my day every time he says it!
We had plans with our friends to have a potluck and egg hunt at the park but by Sunday afternoon it was pouring rain so our friends Eve and Erik graciously opened their home up to everyone so we could still get together and enjoy the holiday with our Texas family. It was such a fun afternoon, the spread of food was amazing and the kids just all got along so well!
Joseph just loves the big boys-seriously can't wait to be one (although we can definitely wait for him to be one!)
Rich entertaining...he is available for birthday parties :) I just love the way that the kids are looking at him-Claire is seriously in love with him and this picture pretty much sums that up!
Ella hung out and enjoyed the party with her friends Ethan and Victoria

The kids table-seriously, how cute are they?
Our little family
In true Texas crazy weather fashion the skies cleared up and we were able to still ahve the egg hunt which was great. The moms headed down the street to the park to "hide" the eggs and then the dads and kiddos followed shortly behind us-had to get a picture of the dads trying to corral all of the kiddos.
Getting lined up and ready to hunt
Joseph only ended up with about 5 eggs but was totally into the hunt and was happy with what he had found
This is probably why he ended up with only 5 eggs-he tended to stop and enjoy the egg after looking for the next one.
The kids checking out their loot!
An attempt to get all of the moms (and Claire!)
And finally, our Easter bunny cake...Happy Easter!
