Easter Sunday.

I set out the boys easter baskets so they would see them in front of the t.v. in the morning when they woke up.  I heard Bennett's little footsteps run across the floor and stop suddenly.  Then I heard him run back towards his bedroom and yell, "Jackson!  Candy!  Candy, Jackson!  Wake up!"  Then his little feet ran back out into the family room followed soon after by Jackson's heavier footsteps.  I was smiling as I got out of bed and snapped a few pictures of them.  We had church at 9:00, so we had to get ready quickly and Marc had meetings, so I was left with the boys, trying to get us all ready and fast.

Easter afternoon we spent lazily together and then that evening we had a dinner with some of our friends in one of the courtyards.  It was really fun.  Brent (one of our little friends) pulled the fire alarm, making the event especially memorable.  All of the kids were scared the firemen where going to take Brent to jail and were crying and upset (it was actually quite comical).   We followed dinner with an Easter Egg hunt.

They let Bennett and a few of the other kids head out first (to get a head start) and then let the bigger kids come.  Bennett would pick up eggs and then shack them and drop them or put them in his basket.  At first I wasn't sure what he was doing and then I picked up one of the eggs he dropped back down on the ground and it felt empty.  I opened it up and found a few stickers in inside, but apparently without the jingling candy in the egg he thought it was empty and was dropping it back on the ground.  funny kid.
