We had a wonderful Easter weekend! Saturday morning started off a bit rocky though....we had our first trip to the ER for stitches. I was home with the kids while Patrick golfed and ran a few errands while we waited for some friends to come over to play. When we got home from the grocery store the kids were playing while I unpacked groceries. They love to play "pillow pit" which means throwing all of the couch cushions and pillows on the floor and jumping onto them. Clearly having a little boy at home has changed the dynamics in our house! Well.....I heard a thud and ran to find a bleeding boy. He split his cheek open and ended up needing 5 stitches. Daddy ran home to take him to ER and he was a great little trooper!
Later that night we had family over to watch basketball, eat, and dye easter eggs.
Late night Mr Easter bunny and I got ready for Easter morning
Scarlett has been wanting Katerina from Daniel Tiger
Cooper loves trains and blocks....so train blocks it was!
Caroline's best friend has a ball pet, so she's been eying one
the Easter bunny brought sunglasses for their summer adventures.....and mama went a bit nuts on their summer wardrobe! Mom and Dad got them super cute new Natives (like crocks but much cuter!) summer pajamas, and lots of cute outfits for summer and all of our trips!
they found their baskets!
Caroline was super excited to get the movie Annie (we listen to the soundtrack EVERYDAY)
the kiddos with their loot!
three cute pairs of tootsies! we realized later in our dark church that Coop's glow in the dark!
then it was time to see if the Easter bunny left any easter eggs......so awesome having grass in the yard instead of rocks this year!!
after baskets and egg hunts it was time to get dressed for Mass.....the real reason we celebrate Easter!
oh I love this boy!
these two went early with me to help save seats

our cute trio
after church it was time to come home and bake dessert for Easter dinner.....a bunny cake (sugar free pistachio) that the kids decorated
after baking and some rests we headed to Aunt Laura's house to celebrate with the whole Stover family. (most of them anyway:)
there was lots of baggo by the littlest two....
Cooper must have hauled bags back and forth for two hours!
and our biggest sat sweetly and organized eggs for a long while
more family pictures
Paw-Paw recently got back from New Orleans and surprised us with fresh pralines.....DELICIOUS!!
our fancy Easter dinner......I can't get over how big Cooper looks here!
