Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend full of fun and family. We were able to spend time with both sides of the family, as well as have some nice quality time with just the three of us. So crazy that it will be the "four of us" pretty soon. As Luke is getting older I am trying to find fun traditions that we can do together. I saw this recipe on the Pioneer Women website and had to try it. Hot Cross Buns! I always knew the song as a child, but didn't realize there really was such a thing. Soooo... on Friday morning Luke and I got to working and whipped up a batch. They were super yummy, and best eaten when hot (duh!). =) Here is the little guy working on the dough. At one point I looked over and he had an entire spoonful of the cinnamon sugar mixture in his mouth. I guess he takes after his mamma! Here he is sneaking one of MANY icing licks!

The finished product. They will now be our Easter morning tradition.

On Saturday we got to dye eggs with Luke for the first time. He loved it, but we had to keep an eye on him, as he was pretty rough with the eggs.

Sunday morning we woke up, ate our hot cross buns, and then had Luke's first egg hunt in the backyard. The "Easter Bunny" sure did hide the eggs well! I think he forgot this hunt was for a 1 year old. =)

Love this action shot!

Ummm... hey you two, the hunt is not over!

Luke sure did have fun, and enjoyed opening all his eggs and eating the goldfish, animal crackers and raisins inside. =)

After the egg hunt we headed to church with my family, and had a wonderful time worshipping the Lord on the day He is Risen!

The boys on the way. Pop thinks Luke's hair looks like a toupee in this picture. Haha =)

After church we headed to La Hacienda for some yummy food. Luke loved waiting for our table on the horse.

In the middle of the meal, Luke asked if he could move seats and sit next to Ben. So sweet! Love these two!

Overall, we had an amazing weekend and feel overwhelming blessed for everything that God has placed in our lives, and for the sacrifice that He made so that we can live!
