Easter

We had a wonderfully fun-filled Easter weekend. Also sugar and candy filled. But I suppose that's to be expected at this point.

We went to two different parties on Friday, first at the home of one of my young women...

And then that night to another friends, the Busby's, which we also went to last year.

Here's Benji with his favorite friend from church Christian. Benji loves Christian so much. Luckily Christian is so good and will always come entertain Benji during church functions and the like. Literally, if Benji has run off during a dinner or party and I'm trying to track him down, inevitably someone will tell me, "Oh don't worry, Christian's got him over there." What 15 year old boy does that?!

Then on Saturday, in between digging the garden (that's a whole nother post), we dyed Easter eggs. 

Which was an...adventure we'll say.

By the time we finished we had spilled almost every cup of dye, dyed our hands a rainbow of colors, and I think Benji even tried to drink the dye at one point -- but we did wind up with 18 very pretty, colorful eggs.

All of which came in handy on the next day: EASTER!!

The boys were so excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought.

They quickly ran outside to try out the new no-spill bubble set from Grandma. (Thanks Grandma!)

Peter also just had to put on his new camouflage pants he got.

 Benji's reaction to trying Peeps for the first time (complete with awesome bed-head).

After breakfast, we had our own little egg hunt outside.

Can you tell that the boys both got sunglasses in their baskets?

And then it was time to get into our fancy-pants church clothes. 

And yes, we also got the boys matching bow-ties. They looked so handsome together.

 What monkeys.

Happy Easter!!
