Easter Weekend

We had a pretty busy weekend.

Friday wasn't so fun as it was pretty drizzly outside. We got a little bit of time outside, but nothing too fun.

Saturday morning Brode slept until almost 9:00 so we didn't make it to swimming class, but had fun dyeing Easter eggs anyways! Brode didn't help color, I didn't know how he would handle it, but he loved watching. I gave him an egg of his own and after he figured out eggshell isn't tasty we peeled it and he loved biting off the whole egg.

Brode and I ran some errands and played for a bit at home. Brode had some lunch then headed to Daddy's for a nap. When the boys were hanging out I got some time to go out to lunch with some girls that were in town for the holiday and do a bit of shopping. When Brode woke up from a nap Matt, Brode and I went to a birthday party for a friend that was turning two! Brode had fun making new friends.

The birthday boy's mom made a cute dirt cake in some sand toys for summer! It was so festive and delicious. Brode loved it as well!

After the party we went over to my friend Claire's house with some friends and had dinner. Brode loves showing off and playing with everyone. He had a fun time in the back yard in the dirt!

He was sure tired when we got home!

Easter morning I had to wake Brode up at 7:30 so that we could get breakfast, a bath, and dressed to be to church on time. We got some spare time so Brode got to find his Easter basket before we left. Libby (the golden retriever) found hers first and Brode was very interested in that, but we finally got him searching for his own.

His favorite thing within the basket was a "Bathketball" toy. It has suction cups to go in the bath tub, but Brode wanted to try it out right away. He also got a book, some giant paints, candy and sand toys!
Once we got him away from the hoop (even if the balls were in his death grip) we were able to get him dressed and off to church. I can't believe how big (and adorable) he looked!
After church Brode had lunch and a nap while we got everything ready. My moms family came over and we all socialized, hunted eggs, and had dinner. Brode got some down time to play with Daddy.
Easter was very fun. Brode was tired and quite ready for bed by the end of the day. He hasn't really caught on to why we made him look for a basket and pick eggs off the ground, but he had fun with family and friends anyway!

The upclose picture of him in his Easter outfit is probably the cutest picture of him thus far!
