Easter "Hoppinings"

We kicked off Easter week with a kid party with our friends.

There were crafts, treats (lots of treats) and and Easter Egg hunt.

We (and I use that term very loosely- because it was mostly the moms) made Easter Bunny Baskets made out of a milk jug and cotton balls. (that's what you get when your best friend is an elementary teacher).

They turned out super cute.

It didn't take Jack long to figure out the whole egg hunt concept.

Ryan caught on pretty fast too. But also enjoyed filing the plastic eggs with rocks. Such a boy!

After the egg hunt, we decorated cupcakes.

as always... Lucy and Conner slept the entire time.

(no worries... their time will come when they will outrun the big brothers).

Before we knew it- the Easter Bunny dropped off baskets at our house for Jack and Lucy.

Chris and I were very proud of ourselves because we managed to get ready, pack the car and leave the house on time to make Easter Sunday Mass. However, we only lasted halfway through Mass. You see- Jack doesn't necessarily sit still very long these days. And just when he got antsy, Lucy needed a diaper change. We excused ourselves before we became "that family" in the pew people watched. We know- some day we'll look back and laugh at this.

After Mass, we headed over to Aunt Julie and Uncle Cameron's house for a beautiful Easter Brunch.

Wouldn't you know- the Easter Bunny left more baskets for Jack and Lucy.

Mama and Daddy helped Jack open some of his treats.

Then it was time to hunt for eggs

Is it a flute or a recorder?

Either way- Jack entertained us!

Happy Easter.

Love, The Petroffs
