Easter Weekend

We have had a great weekend and a wonderful Easter today!

 

We spent most of Friday afternoon and Saturday morning buying flowers and planting them in our front yard. We know nothing about plants or flowers, so this was a bit of an adventure. We didn't really have to do much at the old house, but in this one, we had a lot of stuff die that won't come back so we had to do something or our neighbors were going to kick us out! I should have taken a picture, but it looks great for now! Let's just hope a week from now it's not all dead. Hudson REALLY got into the gardening. He was such a big helper and when it was all finished, he said, "Don't you need to give me some money or something for helping?" That boy...

 

We finally got to enjoy the back porch on Friday night. It was SO nice being outside! I think you could spot the boys from a mile away in those bright outfits...

 

 Saturday afternoon, Hudson had an ice skating party to go to. He had never been ice skating before, so it was interesting to say the least! I got the mean mom award for not going out there with him, but I wasn't willing to risk breaking a bone! I have a feeling that ice skating when you are 33 is not quite like it was at 13, which is probably the last time I went! He never let go of that wall and I don't blame him!

 6 times around the rink and he was done!

 It was actually really fun and I'm glad he got to do something different! He has had so much fun telling everyone about it today.

 There was also a balloon person and face painting, so he obviously had fun turning himself into a pirate!

 These two have NO personality. :)

 

The Easter bunny paid us a visit last night and brought a few small goodies!

 

 We tried to take some pictures of the boys before church.

 They are getting so big...I have a feeling that this may be my last year to dress Harrison like this. It's going to be a sad day!

 Love this picture...

 

Church was great. We have a lot to be thankful for and celebrate today!

 

We hung with buddies before getting our picture taken in front of the cross.

 

 We barely made it without anyone getting dirty! Harrison decided he didn't want to smile the rest of the day and that was fine. At least he was looking, even if he was giving the stink eye!

 I love this Reed family photo! Missing Jordan and Anna this year!

 Then it was onto my parent's house for another egg hunt, this time with eggs filled with money! And, a wonderful, wonderful lunch.

 This was serious business. No stopping to smile for pictures this time!

 Just more of the stink eye...

 Sweet brothers!

 More stink eye...see what I mean?!?! He was done.

 The boys LOVED being with their cousin. And it's almost time for us to be able to start using her to babysit! Woo hoo!

We headed back home for quick naps and then Hudson had a baseball scrimmage. Yes, on Easter. It's hard core here in the Hills! Ha!

After the game, we headed to Migi and Pops to see what the Easter bunny brought there and ate dinner. The boys got a really neat swing that we need to hang up next weekend.

Such a fun day celebrating the resurrection!
