So we have had a great Easter weekend. We started the weekend at Hannah and Charlie's house on Friday evening. They are our neighbors that live up the street and are moving away in the coming weeks. They had a fire and we roasted smores. It was nice. Hannah and Maddox played on the swing set in between coming over to the fire for marshmallows. I think they both liked just the plain marshmallows more than the whole s'mores!! We had Charlie and Hannah over Wednesday night for dinner. The girls ate dinner together and the boys explored all Kennon's toys. Charlie was born on Maddox's birthday 9.16.11...!! But, you'd think he was older by his size. He is a big boy but full of smiles. Saturday morning we met Grandpa Jim and Grandma Jean out at our church property for an Easter egg hunt. It was more like a JUNGLE egg hunt as the alfalfa on our property was pretty high. I had planned to put Kennon down to crawl around and grab his own eggs but we would have lost him in the weeds it was so thick. But, we had a GRAND time. Maddox even got to sit on the big lawn mower out at the property. Right up Grandpa Jim's alley. Then we headed home for lunch and egg coloring time. Maddox's attention span was MUCH greater than it was last Easter egg coloring act and she hung around for a fair amount of time during the process. But, by the end it was just Dad and I!! :) Sunday morning we had another Easter egg hunt after the kids 'opened' their Easter baskets. Maddox was WWAAAYYY more interested in the candy in the eggs this year than she was last year. She passed the nickels, quarters, and dimes over quickly to find eggs with candy in them instead. Hmmmm I bet that will change over the next 10 years. Then we LOADED up the kids and headed to Aurora for another Easter gathering in addition to celebrating Grammy's 65th birthday. Maddox and Kennon got to have another egg hunt, fly kites in the field around Grammy's house, and play on the neighbors swing set. We had a great time!! Kennon is looking so old in these pictures. He was sort of ho hum at the church egg hunt, as you can see from the pictures, but he piped up when we got home to color eggs and spend one on one time with Grandma Jean! He is getting more and more efficient with his crawling and loves to get into Maddox's stuff. You can see him getting into her Easter basket at times despite having his own. Maddox is doing SO WELL with her potty business. I can honestly say I don't remember the last time she had an accident, including the nighttime. She is doing really well. Actually she is good about holding it too while she is playing or while we are out running errands. She is still a bit fearful of going in the public potty not because of the potty per se but because she is afraid of the FLUSH noise, but I'm sure she'll get over that pretty soon. She is even doing really well at night this past week or so too. We are waking her up when we go to bed to have her go. Well there are TONS O' pictures. So enjoy!Hope everyone had a great Easter. We were lucky to be able to spend time with the Grandparents all weekend!!
