Bunnies and Baskets

This past Easter Sunday was Nolan's first Easter and our first as parents!  Naturally we started this holiday off the night before by dying Easter eggs- Of course Uncle Ty had to give us a "how to" lesson via skype beforehand!

After patiently waiting for Daddy to come home, Nolan got his first "crack" at dying eggs-

We had the pleasure of Nolan's Papa coming to visit us and helping out on the Easter egg and basket hunting.

Daddy took a while but finally found his egg and basket! 

The fastest of them all was Rudy who prematurely found his egg before the hunt and wasted no time in finding and eating his bone!

Then our little prince got to open his basket while basking in the grass on the beautiful morning

The bunny was so generous this year!  A ducky rattle, bath tub rubber ducky's a new hat and onesie for Nolan's upcoming summer travels, the Velveteen Rabbit book just to name a few!  He even got to try on a pair of bunny ears, a treasured photo that will be used in his future highschool graduation slideshow!

What a sweetie pie and all this time Mom kept saying "We have the cutest boy ever!" 

"Hey Dad let's wear our matching hats!"

Dare we say we skipped out on church again?!  Off to Aunt Sarah's house for an egg hunt and dinner!  Nolan's Mimi and Papa got him some Easter treasures in daddy's Easter basket as a boy- Nolan especially loves the Baby Einstein DVD!  I think we have a baby genius brewing ;-)  And lots of love from his cousins Trevor and Owen!

Aunt Sarah made a great meal and was kind enough to have Nolan's Papa over too before he headed back to Minnesota!

Nolan also caught some snuggles on the couch with Uncle Mike!

Happy Easter!
