Easter!

We had such a fun Easter! It's always fun when my little brother Greg gets to come back from California to visit. After church we drove up to Jacob & Julie's for lunch and an Easter Egg Coloring Competition. I think we all tied, but Dad announced himself as the winner. It's hard when the judges were mom and Bray and they raised their hand for everyone!

Then we went over to our cousin's, Kevin & Denise, for Easter Dinner and the HUNT! The easter egg hunt is pretty intense because the youngest participant is in grade school, and also because every year there are lotto tickets hidden EVERYWHERE! One year, someone will strike it big. As the hunt started I took Bray out there. He was content to find one egg and call it a "ball" and want to play toss back and forth. Didn't understand why we would just take all the "balls" and put them in a basket. That was no fun! :)

Here are a few pictures from the day.

Brayden got TWO easter baskets! And lots of goodies...

New Golf Set! He has pretty much had a golf club in his hand at home now ever since opening this gift. Yesterday, Brett was watching the Master's and Brayden was content to sit and watch it with him for a few minutes... Maybe another golfer in the family? Look out Michael! :)

"Ball?"

Jacob & Brett, the last two scouring the yard for lotto tickets...

Brayden enjoyed seeing his Grandpa Donn on Easter! They hadn't spent time together since last July! Our holiday schedules never work out (Thanksgiving we are with Overfield's and Christimas Eve, they go with Grandma Geri's family). Grandpa Donn was "re-introducing" himself to Brayden, but Brayden was pretty contest to just sit with Grandma Geri. He was quite fond of her. Throughout dinner he would turn all the way around in his highchair, look at her and say "HI!" and wave his hands. When he got her attention, Brayden would blow her kisses! It was so cute! He is in love with Grandma Geri. :)

We don't see the Bodine's very often being that they all are north of Seattle, so whenever there is a holiday, there is also a birthday celebration too! So we sang, "Happy Birthday Dear Julie, Geri, Erik, Donn, Al, Alicia, Greg & Denise, Happy Birthday to you!" {I may have forgotten or added some birthdays in there, just went by what I saw in the picture...}

By the end of the day we had a very happy and tired little guy. Only a 15 minute nap (between the Washburns and the Bodine's) and all that excitement can wear a little one out. He slept very well that night. :)
