Last year, Easter fell the Sunday after Preston’s birthday. I really felt that we didn’t get to enjoy most of it because it was moving from one celebration to the next. This year, however, we were able to devote a majority of the weekend to celebrating this day!
The Saturday before, as you know, we took our family picture and quickly after that the kids got their first Easter baskets of the year from Gigi. She came over for a pizza dinner and backyard playing. Nothing out of the ordinary for this crew- just a relaxing evening with family!
Preston was completely confused on exactly how to hunt for the eggs Easter morning. He took his time and stopped at every egg, opened it, and ate what was inside. Doing this, he earned himself a whopping 4 Easter eggs. We eventually just let Ava snatch up all of the rest as we saw it was going to take forever if she didn’t. As you can imagine, she didn’t argue with that… she even requested another bucket as hers was overflowing. Preston did not mind either as he was chowing down on just about anything he could find in the eggs.

| Please notice the amount of eggs Ava has vs Preston:) |
Later that afternoon, we had a great time with lots of kiddos and lots, and lots, and lots of sweet stuff. I don’t think there was one occasion I didn’t see Preston eating something of horrible nutrition. I was a little scared to see what bedtime would hold because of the ridiculous amount of sugar, but surprisingly, because he played SO hard, he passed out right on time!

| We had to move the afternoon egg hunt inside because of the weather- the kids still LOVED it! |

| Water guns were a hit off of the covered patio! |
 |
| Good job bub- too bad the gun was the wrong way... |

| Watch out... |

| Bubble fun in a new, clean outfit for P. |
 |
| BUT he was done with pictures by Sunday afternoon. This picture makes me laugh every time I see it. This would be Preston telling his Aunt Candace, "NNNNOOO." And maybe, just maybe, attempting to slap her... oops. What a way to wrap up the weekend! |
