Easter!

Again, it was an Easter miracle!  I did not have to work all weekend, as I had been originally scheduled.  We were so grateful to have Easter free to spend with each other, as last year's Easter fell by the wayside when Kayla ended up in the hospital in Fayetteville for five days.


Avery and Kayla's Easter baskets.  Avery loved his construction trucks, while all Kayla wanted to do was eat her animal crackers.  You would think this girl never got fed...




Here are the obligatory Easter outfit pictures.  I have much respect for children photographers....my anxiety was going through the roof trying to get a picture of the two kids looking at the camera at the same time with a semi-normal expression on their face.  I was pretty unsuccessful.  It worked better by splitting the two up.






These are bloomers that Ninny made for Kayla when she was born.  This was the first time we got to wear them, as Kayla rarely wears dresses (or clothes, for that matter).  I just think they are so darn cute and could not stop taking pictures of Kayla in them.



Avery and his favorite egg.


The Jean Team, kickin' it Easter-style.


We went to church on Easter morning.  The last time we went to church was in Cleveland at Christmas time.  Let's just say it is very hard to explain to a three year old who is obsessed with trying to find Baby Jesus that the baby grew up, was crucified, and now we are celebrating Him rising from the dead.  Pretty heavy stuff for a preschooler, if you ask me.  Maybe Mercer Mayer should write a Little Critter book about it.


In church, Avery was doing great entertaining himself with books, looking around (for Baby Jesus), and singing with the choir.  Then Miss Kayla showed up (she had been snoozing in the car).  Let's just say that after this girl ran through her cup of cheerios, she was in no way having any church time.  We made it to the homily.  BUT the kids got to explore the church grounds for a while....I feel like that should still count. 





 After church and naps, we had our friends come over for Easter dinner, as neither of us have family in town.  The kids enjoyed playing together and eating a feast of chicken nuggets.  YUM.
