Easter Weekend

Holidays are so much more fun having Joe around. Of course Steve loved my Easter egg hunts, but he didn't get as excited when I started the countdown weeks before. Joe would get on the phone with Grandma Sue and tell her he was sooo excited for Easter.
This was his surprised face when he saw what the Easter bunny brought him for Easter and was a little relieved to find out that the Easter bunny had already made his escape from our place.

For actual Easter my sweet cousin Jess invited us over for dinner and Kiera and Joe had a great time under the table giving each other hugs and hiding...

We let them just go at frosting sugar cookies and putting sprinkles on them all by themselves. It's a good thing we are family because there was a lot of double dipping, frosting and licking fingers and eating sprinkles. Thanks Jess, we love being with your family!

This picture is for Aunt Chels, who is obsessed with "kissy face" pictures. Joe is sending you a kiss with his sweet lips!

He tilted, didn't cross his eye, but tilted! I am gonna miss that tilt when it goes all the way away. Joe and his dad finally got haircuts on Sunday, he looks much older!

Before Sunday, we dyed Easter eggs, Joe's first time and he loved it!

We went to Heather and Ben's and did a quick little Easter egg hunt

Since Joe helped put the treats in them, he knew there was pretty good stuff inside so he only wanted to find a couple and then dump them out and start eating...yum yum

Joe was so excited to put the eggs in the color, then put them in another color, put stickers on, color them and do it all over again.

My boys coloring their eggs getting ready to dip. Steve had never seen the white crayons before, so we had to introduce them and he got pretty into it :)

Steve, Joe and Joe's best friend Jeff. It's so funny that Joe just adores older kids and adults and gets attached pretty quick. Jeff was visiting from Canada and Joe asked about him frequently during his stay. Joe wants to now go to "Canana" as soon as possible. Thanks Jeff, we love ya!

Joe with Jeff and Brittany (Steve's cousins) the night before they left. Isn't Brittany beautiful?! She is so fun, I love when her, Jeff and Ashley are around. Hopefully we will see them often since their dad bought a condo by us, or when she comes to Valencia to visit me :)
