Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful day -- celebrating Matthias' second 1st Easter! He was born the week before Easter last year and so didn't really get in on the whole Easter celebrations. This year he was a little more involved. Holy Week was busy with a lot of services for Elden. But then on Sunday afternoon we managed to get away to celebrate with my aunts and uncles! Here are a few highlights from the day...

This is actually from Good Friday - Hot Cross Buns!

Easter basket -- prepped and ready for the morning

Big Easter Smile! (He got a balloon from the nice lady at Hy-Vee.)

Two handsome boys! It did take two of us to get Matthias dressed...
he wasn't too keen on all the buttons and the vest and the tie...
but he left it all alone once it was on. 

Grabbing a quick picture at church

Matthias and his buddy, Caleb, in their matching sweaters.

He looks so old! One week will the big birthday!
(Note - this picture was taken after church, hence the cracker crumbs... )

Digging into the basket

Meeting his new friend. Daddy named the puppy Scruff.

We hope you all had a blessed Easter!
