Happy Easter

We started the Easter festivities with the community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. They moved it indoors since it was wet and chilly outside. As you can see, Harrison had a little difficulty understanding the purpose of his basket!
Once he had something to put inside, he was more than happy to stop using it as a hat. But he wanted absolutely nothing to do with the Easter Bunny....wouldn't even go see him to get a piece of candy....so I got to take a picture with him all by myself (aren't I so cool in my shades???).
Where oh where could those eggs be hidden???
Checking out our loot....
We went to bed that night after leaving out a little snack for the Easter Bunny -- we do it for Santa, so we figured it would be polite to do so for the Easter Bunny as well. Mom and Dad think Santa gets a better deal with the milk and cookies!

Easter morning we woke up early, hunted our baskets and our eggs and headed out for church.

Grandma bought us all matching outfits to wear and we looked absolutely adorable. Unfortunately, we don't have a ton of proof to that because we never managed to get a picture of all four of us together. This is the best we did to get a group shot of the girls (it's getting harder for me to hold both of them at the same time!). You'll see that Harrison's sweater vest matched our dresses in this picture from out at the shed (and do note the addition of the hat and sunglasses was all Harrison's idea!)
We learned quickly that waking Harrison up before he is ready to be up combined with him eating candy out of his basket for breakfast leads to a disaster for having a well-behaved child during Mass. We survived without any major meltdowns, though, and then headed out to Grandma and Grandpa's shed for the rest of the day to celebrate Easter with them, the Vogels and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa (speaking of, have we ever mentioned on the blog that Harrison figures if we call Daddy's Grandparents "great" grandma and "great" grandpa that in order to reference Grandma and Grandpa, he calls them "plain" Grandma and Grandpa....funny kid). Anyhow, it was a wonderful Easter and a fun filled day. The Easter Bunny even left us baskets at the shed and we got to hunt more eggs out there too.

I'm already asking what the next holiday is!
