Good Friday:
Heather has earned herself the title of mother/friend of the year as she volunteered her house for Kaden & Danni to decorate Easter eggs.
Sharing some of the Easter candy that grandma Cook sent in the mail.
Heather showing them how to color them with a crayon before putting them in the dye.
This was the first year that we have attempted egg dying. It was fun, but the kids got somewhat impatient with the wait time. Heather & I might have had more fun with this than they did. This was one of the highlights of growing up with my cousins and visiting the farm at Easter.
Easter Sunday
We went to our normal 9:30 church service at Hillside and I got to see a whole 15 minutes of music and announcements before I decided to take Owen out. It's not that he was crying or being fussy, he was trying to coo & talk, which seemed distracting to everyone else. On a normal Sunday I would have just taken him to the nursery BUT since he hadn't been before (until now he typically slept through each service) on top of it being insane down there with it being Easter and all... Owen & I walked and then joined all of the other new mothers in the lounge by the big-screen TV. All & all, it was still good and I heard most of the message. Poor Ben enjoyed church alone.
Afterwards we made the 3 minute drive to Nonnie & Papa's house for lunch & Easter egg hunting.

Over the course of the afternoon, the same 8 eggs kept disappearing out of the basket to be re-hidden. Kaden eventually caught on & eyed me closely whenever I got close to his basket. I don't think he really cared though because he was having so much fun finding them around the yard.
It's wild to think that Owen was only about the size of a peanut this time last year.
