Easter Sunday (4-4)

Just like every other weekend in our house, Easter weekend was a busy one!

Jaxon was absolutely wore out...

He woke up (well actually he was awakened by his parents) on Easter morning to his gifts from the Easter Bunny. Notice that he does not have on pajamas. He fell asleep in his clothes the night before, and his Mommy did not want to risk waking him up by changing his clothes. Also notice that there was no candy in this boys Easter basket this year. Don't worry, he got plenty of candy from other places. But the Easter Bunny, Mommy and Daddy opted to skip on the candy for this year because of the cavity issues that little man has been having lately. So he got books and movies, and bubbles instead. They'll last longer anyway.But anyway, I LOVE EASTER.

I love Easter for so many reasons.

The first reason, of course, being because Jesus paid my debt by dying for me and raising again!

HE AROSE!

HE'S ALIVE!
HE'S THE REASON WE CELEBRATE THIS MAGNIFICENT HOLIDAY!

Sure, The Easter Bunny is fun, but sorry mister rabbit, it's just not about you.

And it's not about me. And friend, it's not about you.

It's about HIM!

It's all about Him.

I also love Easter because I get to dress up these two cute guys (just like we do every Sunday) and head to the Lord's House. The only thing that's different as far as clothing apparel goes on, is that on Easter, Justin doesn't mind matching. So once a year (maybe twice, on Christmas) we match! And I love matching! I always dreamed of having children and dressing them up for Easter- and it's so amazing that so many of my dreams have become reality.

Justin may be my husband and Jaxon may be my son, so I may be a tad bit biassed,
but I don't know that you can find two better looking guys! And their purple just makes them that much cuter!
After church, we went to Nana and Paps' for lunch and after lunch we had an Easter egg hunt. Jax and Mya didn't need any prompting. They knew just what to do!

His shorts were huge. They're a 2t but his waist is little so he's having a hard time keeping his shorts up. Mommy's on the hunt for a belt for him (not having much luck though. if you have any suggestions, feel free to share)!
Even baby Ava found some eggs, with her Daddy's help of course.
And Kyler found some too. He had a whole scavenger hunt for just him. But I didn't get any pics of that.
And Me, Justin, Jonathan and Angie had an easter egg hunt as well. But I didn't get any pics of that either. But trust me, it was a lot of fun!
Busy hunting!
Eventually Jaxon got tired of finding eggs though. And that's when he just started throwing them into the air. Because that was much more fun!
