Easter 2015

I know I'm a little behind on blogging (Ok, more than just a little...) but I still wanted to post about our Easter celebrations this year.  We had a total of 4 egg hunts which was great considering the boys were all about it this year.  Well, Henry was all about hunting the eggs and Charlie was more concerned with what was in them... :)

We celebrated with Ryan's family the Sunday before Easter.  All 12 grandkids were there which rarely happens these days and Henry was beyond excited to play with Jack and Harry.    





That week we had an egg hunt at their school.  Again, Charlie was more into checking out the candy in the eggs than actually picking them up but Henry filled his basket pretty quick.  




We had brunch at my parents club the Saturday before Easter which was a blast.  They had chicks and bunnies for the kids which was a great idea.  Henry wasn't so sure about the bunny and said it was biting his basket...


Henry held the bunny for about 30 seconds before throwing it back in the pen... :/




Sword fights with Pops... 









Henry showing off his eggs to Charlie :)




Ready to dye eggs at Mimi's house!



Charlie was quickly banned after he spilled two cups and broke an egg... maybe next year!


Henry was a fan :)


Easter morning... The bunny brought brooms and the boys were thrilled!


Ready for church... 


Charlie was over it.... 


So many great memories from this past holiday and thankful to have been able to spend so much time with our families!

Christmas Recap

On Christmas Eve we headed to Ryan's parents house to celebrate with his side of the the family.  I always love this celebration since it includes 22 people total and there is never a quiet moment.  This little boy was especially excited about the big day :)
Henry & Grandpa
Super H!  
Opening presents... 
Ornament thief strikes again... :) 
We came home later that evening and tucked the boys in bed.  Santa got to work and set out a few things for the next morning.  Henry had asked Santa this year for trucks and even though he did not get a big truck at our house, he was pretty excited when he saw that he brought him a new blower and a weed eater :)
It was freezing that morning and wasn't even light out yet and Henry was ready to head out to work in the yard :)
Santa also brought a pretty cool jeep and trailer for Henry and a new swing and a lawn mower for Charlie. 


Charlie got a set of golf clubs which I think were his favorite gift.  He carries them around the house all the time.
I think we will officially have a lawn crew in a few years!
After opening presents we got dressed and headed over to Mimi & Pops for another fun day.  Santa also made a stop at their house and brought Henry an excavator.  Santa pulled through with a new truck!
Unfortunately, Santa forget to take the toys out of the box which required work for Pops and Dad... 
We were excited to spend the day with Ryan's new puppy, Riley!
Charlie got a new truck too!
Santa always brings the best stocking stuffers at Mimi and Pops :) 
Pops & Henry
Can't take your eyes off this one... 
Another big hit this year was play food.  Henry loves helping in the kitchen and now he has his own set of pots and pans.  
Charlie was also a big fan of this gift and loves chewing on all the food :)
Jumping up and down in excitement of Christmas!!
Uncle Ryan also pulled through with a pretty cool gift.  It was in about 100 pieces but once we got it together it was pretty fun.  
We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful day.  Gotta love this cute boy!
And lastly, a pic of the four of us.  We had so much fun celebrating Christmas this year and we are so blessed to be able to spend the time with our families.
