Happy Easter!

My friend Jennie and I took Graidy to see the "Bunny Bunny" at the mall a couple days before Easter, Graid almost couldn't wait his turn to see the "Bunny Bunny" but as soon as it was time to sit on his lap, Graidy just wanted to get down. Who wants a freaky bunny holding them any ways, right?

This is the little card I handed out at Easter as people visited...

Doesn't he look like his 5 in this picture?? Nope 16 months!

We colored eggs one night and G thought they were balls, needless to say eggs were thrown all over my kitchen. We bought a really cute monster egg kit this year, it came with the coloring, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, etc. When we finished coloring the eggs it was way past Graiden's bed time and so we figured we would decorate the eggs the next day.This where my little faux pas this holiday came in, it totally didn't even cross my mind to put the eggs in the fridge, what a dummy right?? My kitchen stunk so bad, there wasn't enough Scenty candles and Febreeze to cover it up!

One word: Rotten!

Here goes the throw!

(Not the most faltering picture of me but it will do)

So these eggs/balls made there way right into the trash!

Easter was really relaxing this year since I am the designated "B" in the family and said I'm not traveling on holidays any more. It is just to hard! We have 4 sets of parents, with 4 houses, in 4 places, with a 1 year old. No thanks!

New rule: We are only going to ONE place on holidays and no we are NOT taking turns as to which place we go. Do I sound stuck up yet? We will make a decision together as to whose house we are going to based on what we feel like! If the others aren't offended by my bitchiness at this point they are more than welcome to come see the little monster at our place. I put this rule into affect before we told anyone the new rule. My plan worked, and it was so, so, so, nice!

Our Easter went like this...

So Brett's Mom and Grandma came over on Saturday and gave Graid a basket with some toys and candy. Sunday Graidy woke up and got his basket, along with a little play kitchen, clothes, bowling set, movie, candy, and his favorite new golf set! Then my Dad and Step Mom came over and gave him a yummy marshmallow chocolate egg with is name on it (I wish I got a picture before dad devowerd it!). Bretts Dad then came over with an other basket of goodies. Last but not least we headed the 2 blocks to my Mom's house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt with Gray's cousins.

The Loot!

He loved the chocolate!

He got the golden egg and won a prize!

Plus Uncle Braxton minus Cousin Hannah

Graidy didn't catch the Easter Bunny or many eggs for that matter, but he sure caught a cold! I wish Easter wasn't so early this year. My poor guy sounds awful, and we feel awful for him. Still sporting the owie!
