Happy Belated Easter

Its been a little busy around here lately but here is a belated Easter post!  We had such a wonderful Easter this year, spent with Lance's side of the family in Atlanta.  It started for us on Saturday night when we put out a few carrots for the Easter bunny.  Harrison thought he was going to be really hungry, so the Easter bunny got 4 carrots...(as you can see we are very into silly faces lately)
When Harrison woke up in the morning, this is what he found!  The Easter bunny ate almost all of his carrots and he brought Easter baskets for Harrison, Davis and even one for Mommy & Daddy...how did he know that Mommy & Daddy needed new coffee cups!?!?  I clearly have been a slacker and forgot to get Davis his official Easter basket this year.  Oops!
Say, "I love Easter"!!...or at least look at the camera!  Getting TWO boys to look at the camera at the same time is not always the easiest task, especially when both of them are mobile!
We got the boys up early enough that they could find the Easter eggs that the Easter bunny dropped off at our house, then jumped in the car to head to church.  After church we went to Grandma & Granddaddy Randolph's house for an Easter brunch and would you believe that the Easter bunny dropped off even more eggs at their house?  60 eggs in fact....all for 1 child to hunt!  He was in Heaven!
That Easter bunny sure was good at hiding those eggs...
I LOVE this picture...
Can you help me open this Easter egg Granddaddy???
We had to switch to a bigger basket to hold all the eggs and then it was time for opening them.  I can't even imagine how many jelly beans he ate that day, but what kind of Easter would it be without an overload of jelly beans!?
While Harrison hunted for eggs, Davis had fun getting to play with all of the toys inside without the threat of his brother taking them.  He had an entire room full of toys and what did he carry around all morning?  A piece of paper that Harrison uses as garbage to put in his toy garbage truck.
Davis and Grandma enjoying Easter.  Davis loves to clap and wave his hands around now, so here he is showing off his tricks...
It was a beautiful day and we were so thankful to be able to spend it with family.  Especially after hearing of the recent tragic event in Tuscaloosa, I am reminded of how blessed we are to have all of our family and friends in our lives.  Harrison has been talking about Easter in school for the past few weeks and will randomly say things like "Mommy, did you know that its Lent!", or "Mommy, Jesus' body is gone!!"  Its so sweet to hear him learning about the meaning of Easter and it has been fun to read stories to him and help him learn about the Easter holiday.
