Easter 2016

Brody had his first real egg hunt on Easter morning this year.  When he woke up, he headed down the stairs to find an Easter basket for both him and his brother.  The basket was filled with toys and candy, and after just a little explaining he started searching for the eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden for him.  The first two eggs he found happened to be empty which I thought was odd since I distinctively remembered filling all of them.  When Brody found the first two he said, "awww this ones empty, " and "awww this one is empty too."  I quickly glanced at Dave and I could tell he had just remembered that after he had fallen asleep on the couch he woke in the middle of the night and ate some of the candy out of the eggs.  I wish I could have caught his look on camera because he looked super worried when he told me he didn't know how many eggs he found and stole the candy from.  At first I was super annoyed but the more I thought about it, it was pretty funny.

We had a great time visiting with Dave's side of the family this year for Easter.  We again, got lucky and had another unseasonably warm day for March.  Our first stop that day was at Grandma and Grandpa Kaiser's for brunch and to visit with the Kaiser gang.  The boys enjoyed playing with bubbles, rolling down the hill and playing in Grandma's flower pots =/.  Grandma Janet even put on a Easter egg hunt fot the kids.  Brody was so excited to hunt for eggs but when he ran outside and saw that there were no red eggs he hade a meltdown.  I guess that is typical 3 year old behavior. After a few hours of fun with the Kaisers we made our way to Dave's aunt Mimi's house.  The boys enjoyed another egg hunt and this time there were no tears.  The highlight of Mimi's house for the kiddos was definitely the dog house where the younger kids climbed in and out of for a good hour.  Dave and I were very fortunate that despite such a busy day the boys did great and we had only a few meltdowns to deal with.
