Well, this past week-end was our first official Easter celebration with Bryson. Last year, although he was born and almost 2 months old, we spent the entire Easter week-end in the hospital with him. He ran a very high fever which proved problematic since he had not received his vaccinations yet. In the end, it was only a viral infection and we were home in a few days.
Brennan had a great Easter with his Nahnee and Papa and his Aunt Kristin and Uncle Grayson. Funny thing about last Easter that I will never forget is what I found when I opened up pictures that had been emailed to me of Brennan's Easter that we had most regrettably missed out on. I immediately noticed that Brennan was wearing his pjs. I called Michael at work and said "oh my gosh! I just got these pics of Brennan having an Easter egg hunt and I think he was wearing his pajamas" lol! It was so funny! Apparently his Nahnee wasn't sure if they were pajamas or just a lounge set. Needless to say I have numerous pictures to share with him when he gets older to show him just how silly his Nahnee can be. :)
Easter morning we woke up to see what the Easter bunny had brought the kiddos. I got up extra early to shower and get ready for the day just so I could spend some time with the boys instead of rushing around trying to get everything ready to head out and drive to our final destination (typical for pretty much every holiday). It made the morning go so much smoother and although I was tired, I'm so glad I did it. After letting the boys discover all of the great new things they got in their Easter baskets, I decided to make an Easter breakfast. As I start asking everyone what they would like, I found that I would be making an Easter breakfast for "one". Brennan had already eaten enough candy to rot all of his teeth out. I'm a bad mommy I know but I figured "why not let the kid live a little"? Easter comes once a year! Michael decided he was going to eat left over spaghetti and Bryson had already had a piece of toast which left only me. Because I LOVE breakfast and generally find myself drinking a slimfast in the place of anything and everything that I would love to be eating instead, I decided to make myself some pancakes and eggs. YUMMY!
After breakfast we took the boys upstairs to give them a bath and to finish getting ourselves ready for the day. This Easter we spent with my wonderful in-laws. I couldn't ask for a better family to marry into and call my own. We went to my sister-in-laws beautiful new home and spent many wonderful hours together. The boys had a ball walking around her new home, exploring all the fun new places they could see. It was fun! I only wished it would have been warmer. The boys didn't get to have an Easter egg hunt wish really disappointed me! Fortunately, my mom is planning to have a BIG Easter egg hunt for all the kids the next time I go down to visit. Better late than never, right?
