easter weekend

we had a super fun easter weekend with good friends and fun activities. the festivities begin saturday morning with a pot luck and easter egg hunt with friends at a local park. and although the weather wasn't completely ideal, it was still warm and such a blast! so much yummy food and the kids excitement, plus the great company, made everything worth it!

 and I just have to remember this memory for when the kids get older. We have two glass jars that sit on top of our mantle in the upstairs and early this month I filled them with colored easter eggs. The other day Chase discovered these egg filled jars and went up to Wayne in all seriousness and said, "Daddy, the easter bunny came and laid eggs in the cups on the fireplace!" 

i think that it is so cute that he thinks the easter bunny is the one who lays all of the eggs instead of just hiding the eggs. i can't wait to share this with him when he is older!
