He is Risen! Easter Day Fun!

Jack now has two bears he calls Bella and he carries them everywhere!

What a beautiful day to celebrate our Lord's rising! We celebrated Easter at my mom and dad's with all my siblings and their children. It was such a nice spring day and Jack and his cousins were able to play outside. The kids found Easter eggs in the morning after discovering their baskets of candy and toys. We went to church and we even had an Easter egg hunt outside. The kids loved the jelly beans in the eggs and the money was a big hit too! We had Easter dinner at my mom's which is turning into a large crowd! Aside from my three siblings and their spouses, there are 7 grandchildren with 5 more on the way to be here before Halloween! It is nice when everyone is able to spend time together for holidays because we all live in different states. The cousins get along so well and it is nice to see them play together. These are times to cherish and memories we will have forever.

Jack and John were able to spend some time with Jack's other grandparents, Mimi and Papa, on Saturday afternoon while I was at my sister's baby shower. Jack loved his marshmallow peeps and golf balls and other candy in his basket from them. John was teaching him to swing the golf club on Sunday afternoon. Maybe we'll see him in the Masters someday?

Jack's Easter Basket

Waking up on Easter morning. Jack loved his new toys and the candy was great!

Jack found Easter eggs with his cousins. He was the youngest, so we had to push him along and hold the others back. Wait until next year Jack, there will be younger children!

After such a busy weekend, we left for home Sunday night. Jack was exhausted! He was asleep two minutes into the car ride and didn't wake up until we pulled into our driveway 3 hours later. When John carried him inside, he told us he wanted to go to bed. So our little guy slept from 5pm last night to 7am today. You have to know Jack to realize this is a rare occurrence. He is NOT the best napper or sleeper. I guess all the weekend activities wore him out!!
