Easter a day early

Our Easter started on Saturday this year because Bryce works from 5 am to 2 and we didn't want him to miss it. We kindly asked the Easter bunny if he could come early and he obliged.

Both kids love to read books, especially Bentley lately. He almost always has one in his hand and is asking me to read to him or he is looking at them himself so their baskets were mostly books with one toy and a few jellybeans.

 This is them waiting patiently on mom and dad's bed to go downstairs.

 At 10:00 we headed over to Hatch park in NSL for an egg hunt. They had firetrucks and ambulances and all of the local fire department there to hand out hats and badges to the kids.

 Bentley has been holding onto my leg lately (and what a lovely leg it is.) He will be playing and come up to hug my leg and then leave. I think it is sweet and something I want to remember about him. In this picture he wasn't quite sure why there were so many people standing around looking at a big square of grass covered in eggs and he was a bit nervous so he held onto my leg for a while.

 The hunt was over in about 30 seconds and the kids weren't ready to go home so we went to the park to play and fly the kites they handed out. Something I love about Bryce is how playful he is. He loves to play on the playground right along-side the kids.

 

 On Sunday as we were walking to church this tiny little dog came running up to us so we took her home and called her owner. It turns out that her owners were in California and had boarded her across the street at the vet's but she had gotten out. Jayda wants a dog really bad and loved having her here. She sang to her and scratched her belly and took great care of her.

 We also had the family over for dinner and to decorate eggs. Bentley died both of his hands green and looked like the Grinch for the rest of the day.
