Happy Easter!

Easter was late this year. Aunt Wendy and Uncle Nic really wanted to do something for the boys and since Easter was late we thought we could do an Easter egg hunt outside. Well it was wet. Big surpise it has been very very wet this year and in June now we are still waiting for summer to find its way here.

Aunt Wendy and Uncle Nic set up an egg hunt in their living room for the boys. It was a ton of fun! We got there just after church and got changed then went hunting! Emmett was slow and had to inspect all his eggs as he got them while Alestair went for it all. Aunt Wendy was pretty awesome with her fillings. Chocolate and change! Woo! Alestair was very excited and counted his money while in timeout and throughout the next week.




Alestair Hunting.
Emmett Hunting.








The Spoils. Emmett wondered why Alestair got more. Notice the real eggs. Alestair had a hard time letting go of them. Tricking didn't work this year.
They made a most sectacular linner for us! Smoked tri tip, garlic mashed potatoes, and smoked turkey. It was delicious! Emmett ate more of the potatoes than everyone else combined! We tried to slow him down but he would come back and beg so sad we gave in.

Alestair refused to hug or kiss and really wanted to take the magnifying glass home.
While everyone (Emmett) finished eating I put together baskets. I had a big tub to hold the larger items that Sheri gave the boys (bubbles and a bowling set). I also put in some items for the boys to share like some awesome books the Grandma Fee sent (Peter Potomus and Richard Scary). Alestair has carried these books around everywhere. Aunt Wendy and Uncle Nice got the boys some awesome cars (Emmett's favorite) and a popcicle making set. I got everyone lots of chocolate and candy :). I gave Wendy and Nic a popcicle making set too! Its a bunny set and super cute :). We also decorated some sidewalk chalk for them. Robert got a really awesome Nanoblock set that is like super mini legos and super fun! Wendy and Nic gave him some cooking untinsls and me some peanut butter chocolate eggs which were super yummy! Robert got me a new pearl necklace as well. We got Alestair a bug magnet puzzle and some blue rubber ducks. He also got a light up duck for the tub and Emmett got a light up frog. Emmett also got a stuffed bear dressed as  bunny. Grandma Fee also found a super cute little family figures for Emmett. It has a dad in a shirt and tie and a mom who is "wearing" her baby (exactly how Emmett would have his life be) and a dog and cat. He likes to carry them around the house.
Emmetts Puppy face...I swear my boys have turned into dogs.







After doing baskets and playing with our new toys the boys got way tired and Alestair tried to take a nap with Uncle Nic while watching a show so it was time to go. We had a lot of fun as we always do when we visit them!
