Easter 2011.

We had an extremely busy, but very festive Easter weekend. It started with sunshine (finally) and a great visit from my parents. We then headed out to Carter's first Easter egg hunt! He had a hard time waiting patiently for them to start, but once they yelled go, he was off! Finding his first egg and being perfectly content with just one.

After some encouragment he decided he wanted a few more.He just looked so grown up walking around with his basket! And, since he's not a fan of sweets, I got to enjoy the goodies in each egg! We then headed back home so Carter could open up his Easter baskets from Grandma & Grandpa Longhurst and Uncle Matt & Aunt Joy.
Like a typical boy, he quickly threw all the clothes out of the bag and onto the floor to keep searching for the books.

We then attempted coloring eggs. This lasted about 5 minutes since Carter was mostly interested in dunking the egg in the dye to then lick it off. Luckily I added lemon juice and water instead of vinegar so it tasted pretty good!

Then we all took a long nap!

Sunday morning we woke up and let Carter open up his Easter basket from us. I don't want to make all the gifts too big of a deal so we just got a few new books, bubbles and a new plate (of course I'm practical!)

I loved the look on his face when he saw the bubbles...so funny!

So grown up!

Best family shot we could get. At least we are all looking at the camera!

Carter is still having a hard time in our church nursery so I got to play with him during the service while my parents and Matt enjoyed the sermon. Hopefully someday soon I can actually sit through a full service!

Happy Easter!!
