Chase's Easter party at school

 Chase had his Easter party at school the day before Good Friday.  I was so sad that I wasn't able to make it, but one of Chase's friend's mom was so sweet to send me these pictures.  He just loves his little friends and his teachers...we are so so blessed to have them!  Drew and I laughed because they said Chase needs to work on being a little more aggressive...surprise surprise!  They said he wasn't real aggressive hunting his eggs...I think they even hid some especially for him at the end and he still needed some encouragement to get them :)  I am thinking that his brother will help him quickly develop the ability to be more aggressive in the coming years!
Here are all the kids looking at their eggs...

Here they are with bunny ears!

Painting and playing....

We got home from Disney World on Thursday and had fun playing the rest of the week and weekend!  Drew was off work for the whole week, so we had so much fun together for 3 more days!  Chase just made me laugh in his cowboy hat and sunglasses!

Here are Hank and Chase painting.  Chase has always loved to paint, but this was Hank's first time to do it at home (when I am not trying to do handprints or footprints).  He had a great time with his brother!

Then we broke out the playdough!

This is what I had to work with while trying to change the sheets on Chase's bed...Hank is such a mess!  He kept standing up and jumping down...it is amazing he will do this, but he won't walk!

Easter Week

These are just pictures that we took the week of Easter.  Here are the boys in their Easter shirts!

The boys hanging out with their Daddy on the couch :)

Chase doing the "hot dog dance" while watching Mickey Mouse Club....he is soooo funny to watch!

We had several Easter egg hunts in Chase's room and he loved that!

Hank also had fun with it!

This is what Chase would do when he looked for eggs...it was so funny!

We made an Easter bunny cake at our house too!  Chase was such a good helper when it came to decorating!

The finished product :)

On Saturday before Easter, we went to the Zoo.  We missed Daddy because he had to work, but the boys were happy to go to the Zoo!  We haven't gone to look at the animals since the end of last Summer, so Hank was really loving it!
We were so excited to see the peacock spread it's feathers!  I don't think we have gotten to see that before and we were able to get so close!

The boys looking at the peacock....

They had fun looking at the tiger :)

Chase wanted me to stop at all of these things and take his picture :)  He cracks me up!

We were so excited to see the Easter bunnies walking around!  Chase was particularly excited that there were "two...a grey one and a white one!"  Hank did not want to get his picture made :)

Palm Sunday

Since Drew had to work Easter weekend, we decided to put the boys in their Easter outfits two weekends in a row.  That way they were able to get pictures with Drew!  It was Palm Sunday and Chase was very excited about that!  He got a palm leaf in Sunday school which he held onto for days and he loved talking about Palm Sunday.  He also learned some really sweet Easter songs at church on Palm Sunday, and it just melts our hearts to hear him sing them.  We have a video...I am going to try to upload them to the blog.  Here is Chase acting silly :)

Here is Hank and me...

This is the best family picture we were able to get with the timer...

I thought this was really sweet...

He looked so sweet with his palm leaf....

Easter with Pops and Mama Zo

The Saturday after we got home from Disney World, we went over to Pops' and Mama Zo's house to eat and visit with everyone.  We all had a great time!  Drew had to work Saturday and Sunday Easter Weekend and Clay and Julie weren't going to be able to go out there on Easter Sunday either, so we went ahead and celebrated Easter together.  Mama Zo had made a bunny cake and had it ready for her little helpers to put the icing and decorations on!  The big boys and the little boys had a great time!

I think Chase may have spent a little more time doing this than putting icing on the cake :)

George and Hank trying to help...

Here is the finished product :)  It looked great and tasted good!

Chase had a great time decorating eggs with Mama Zo!
