Easter Sunday

We started out the day early with surprises from the Easter Bunny!  Addalyn & Blake got a wagon this year which of course was the main gift.  In their baskets they each got 1 book, 1 movie, sandals, a bath toy (shaped like an egg), and Addy got stuff to help mama in the garden (rake, shovel, and watering can) & Blake got a toy for his high chair.   

The Easter Bunny came!  (the basket below is mommy & daddy's combined basket!)

Trying out the new wagon!
We then got ready for church and headed to Pine Island.  We went to church with my mom and dad.  We joined St. Michael's parish in February.  This is the church I grew up at, but it is in my hometown so we had never officially joined.  It is where we got married and both kiddos were baptized.  We decided when we baptized Blake to officially join so that we could start participating in their activities to have a consistent Christian/Catholic environment for ourselves and our kids to be a part of.  Also, we plan to be in Pine Island before the kids start school.  It is about 15 minutes from Rochester and we've had our eye on a few properties there.  I'm so happy we made that decision to join St. Michael's!
Ready for the day of Easter celebration!

 
A not so great family photo - Blake really does have a neck and isn't as chubby as he looks in this photo!
After church we went up to Jean & Paul's.  They were waiting for us to arrive to start the Easter Egg hunt, so we barely made it out of the car when Addy was off looking for eggs!



Then we had lunch - and Blake enjoyed himself FOREVER in this bouncer!



Later in the day we had Addy change out of her clothes so she could run around.  Her, Mira and Serafina ran around in the backyard for a long time.  They had races, played "ring around the rosy" and we snuck over to the neighbors and used their playset for a bit. 


It was a good day with family celebrating Easter :)
