Easter Eggs for Breakfast

I finally finished loading and editing some pictures from Easter morning. We had a nice time eating breakfast in bed and watching Leighton hunt for his Easter Eggs. Here are few fun photos! I love the look on his face in this photo and how he is holding his fork.

Daddy helping Leighton read his Easter card from Grandma and Grandpa.

Time for the big Egg Hunt!


Leighton is probably thinking, "I'd rather have daddy hold my Easter eggs for me because mommy always eats all my candy!"

No-Man

Leighton was one lucky enough to get 2 weekends in a row filled with grandpas and grandmas.We got to celebrate Easter with Derrick's family last weekend and boy did we have a good time. Grandma and Grandpa took Leighton out to make his very first snowman.

Isn't that one handsome snowman? During the first half of last week, after they left, Leighton would run to the window sill, climb up on the window seat and say, "Gamma, Noman, Gampa, Noman". Later in the week, as the "noman" was melting, he would say, "Bubye Noman, Bubye".

Grandma taught Leighton how to make the most declicious Easter cookies.


Cookie shapes 101.

Of course, Maverick had to oversee to make sure the cookies were done to his licking liking.

Leighton was very serious about his job as Head Cookie Decorator.
See how nice those sprinkles look?
In the end, we ended up with a great weekend together and some fantastic cookies.

Happy Easter

This was the only family member I could convince to wear these adorable bunny ears. Go figure.
Now go celebrate today. Go to church. Spend time with your beautiful families. Take pictures of your children looking for their Easter Egg. Eat a butt-load of candy. Most importantly though. Remember why we do these things. It's quite simple, really:

OUR sin.
A chosen man.
Bore OUR burden.
Hung on a cross.
Spilled his blood.
And died for us.
To cover OUR sin.
On the third day, today.
He rose from the grave.
To be OUR savior.
OUR light, OUR truth, OUR way.
The ONLY truth.
The ONLY way.
OUR choice.
