Easter at the Waite's

Each morning one of three things happens...1) Brody wakes up and comes down and announces to us that he and/or his brother are up which aka means get up too! 2) Brody wakes up and climbs up onto our bed and slides himself under the covers and lays there quietly until we get up too or 3) (and this is my favorite one) Brody gets up, turns on the tv, and gets his cup of juice and just plays quietly until we get up.  So....imagine our surprise when Trevor and I wake up Easter morning BEFORE our kids!  Despite being all hyped up about the Easter bunny, he didn't wake up early.  We were so shocked.  We made the trek down the hall to our sweet boy's room and he was just waking.  We asked him if he remembered what day it was and when he gave the appropriate and excited answer we said, "I wonder if the Easter bunny came?  Maybe you should look out your window and see if you can see anything?"  As we raised the blinds Brody exclaimed that there were Easter bunny "foont-prints!" 

In all the commotion and excitement Ryder woke up too and wanted to see what Brody was seeing! He got excited too just because everyone else was!

Before we could do anything else we had to go check out these amazing footprints the Easter Bunny left.

 Brody kept saying they were "snow foont-prints", but curiously the powderey prints looked an awful lot like flour.....hmmm....

Once we went back inside we saw that our entertainment center had been decorated and a note was left for the boys!

 Of course, being that Brody and Ry are just little guys, they needed a little help READING their special note!

When Trevor was growing up the Easter Bunny always hid his and and his brother's easter baskets, but it was the first time the Easter Bunny ever hid Brody and Ryder's baskets.  Like always, Brody being the good big brother he is, he helped Ry find his basket.

 After the baskets were found, it was time to find eggs!  I think the Easter Bunny was a little worried about the sprinklers coming on and ruining the eggs and the goodies inside them, so he just hid everything inside.  Ry caught the egg-finding concept fairly quickly and loved being part of the hunt with his big brother.

Then he really loved the eggs when he saw what was INSIDE them!

Brody lined up all their "loot" to show us!  He even counted how many eggs there were.

 After all the excitement and a nutritous candy filled breakfast it was time to put on our Easter best for church, but certain people weren't exactly keen on this part of the day....

HAPPY EASTER!
