Easter 2018

In true Bethany form this post is coming a bit late but oh well. This year was Grady official first year of east egg hunting. I totally had a “mom fail” last year and scheduled a trip around Easter and the day we were coming back was the day everyone was doing Easter egg hunts. This year we tried something new since my sister is moved back to Oklahoma.

We attended an Easter egg drop on Saturday morning and boy was it a blast! So much fun for kiddos of all ages including my husband and myself. A helicopter dropped hundreds of eggs and then Grady with his cousin hunted as many as they could. After the hunt we went to my parents for a little brunch. And then opened Easter baskets. My mom always does an amazing job with everyones Easter baskets, total envy. My mom got the kiddos beach towels, swimsuits, sunglasses, etc. pretty sure I got the hint that they will be swimming this year.

Sunday morning we made it to church to the early service. I didn’t want the kiddos to open their Easter baskets before church but of course Grady saw his and as soon as we took it away it was a full on melt down. Audrey decided to take a little nap after church and as soon as she woke up we opened our Easter baskets. I went a little over board this year, I remember when I was little having the same Easter basket year after year so I decided to purchase pottery barn baskets as an investment. And let me tell you they were sure investments. They come in 2 different sizes and I originally ordered the big baskets but they were by far way too big as Grady could have sat in it. I had so much fun filling up their baskets this year and if I say so myself I’m pretty proud of them.

A cold front came through Sunday morning so it was pretty chilly all day. Chad’s parents came over to our house and brought the Ham while I made the sides. I don’t know why we just started doing this, it made life so much easier on all parties. We had cheesy potatoes, shaved brussel sprouts, ham, and green beans with an Apple crisp for dessert. It was my first time making shaved brussel sprouts and it sure will not be my last.

This past Easter was by far my favorite!
