We were really excited to celebrate Easter this year with Luke! Last year he was only four years old and really didn't understand anything that was going on around him. This year we knew he would. We got ready by purchasing items......we went a bit overboard! We couldn't get all of his treats into his duck Easter basket his grandmother gave him. :-)
We even bought edible grass so as to not have to worry about plastic getting into his mouth.
Of course Easter isn't complete without a few new outfits to sport!
Had a blast picking out some outfits for Luke!
It was also fun getting Shay's basket ready.
When I was in Costco looking at videos for Shay a lady told me that the recently released movie Into the Woods was excellent. I thought, "Great, we both haven't seen it so it will be a win-win movie!" UGH! Should have asked more questions about the movie! I liked the move.....but Shay not so much. At least Shay humored me in watching the whole thing....even though he does not like musicals! I told him I owed him big time. He laughed and just gave me a kiss! I am so grateful to have such a great husband!
Picture above shows where I hid Shay's basket (Under the sink). In my family, while growing up, we woke up Easter morning having to find where the Easter Bunny had hid our baskets. I loved looking for my baskets as a child so we are going to care on this tradition in our home.
Shay, of course, spoiled me rotten! We both LOVE the Lord of the Rings series. I got the hobbit along with yummy candy. I love how Shay spoils me and makes me feel so special all the time!
The next few pictures are of Shay and me trying to get Luke to sit still and take an Easter picture. He wasn't very cooperative! Putting him between his toys, candy and clothes turned out to be a bit problem. Shay and I would take turns trying to get him to stop eating the edible grass or pick up a toy. We definitely were not too successful! :-)
We love his silly smiles and faces found in these pictures! Below is the best we could do!
It was such a fun day.
It was also a special day! We got to go to church and remember the Savior and His infinite love for us all. We both feel such gratitude to our Savior for him birth, life, sacrifice and love! May we never forget how much He loves us and cares for us!
Happy Easter everyone!
