Easter Preparations

We spent our Saturday as a family with nothing on the calendar and no "to do" list.



we started the day at the mall and let the kids play on the coin operated toys (although I had no coins, they still had fun playing)

 3-2-1, BLAST OFF

 they must have played "ice cream delivery" for 30 or so minutes

 and, for the shocker of the day, they got their picture made with the Easter Bunny.  No sitting on its lap, but this is the first picture with a holiday character since Cooper was 11 months old!

 they were rewarded with bunny ears

 they wore them throughout the mall and hopped EVERYWHERE!

 after lunch at Chick Fil A, they rode the carousel



 once we were home, Cooper and daddy practiced T ball

 after dinner, we made Resurrection Rolls ~ while they baked, Greg read the story of Jesus' death and Resurrection

 the tomb is empty!

 He is risen!

 time to dye Easter eggs

 being very gentle

Jump Everybody, Jump, Jump!

We went to the mall this afternoon and the kids have a lot of fun!!

Cooper tried on a few hats

 the highlight of the afternoon was jumping at the mall

 he was so excited!

 Reagan was an "old hand" at this

 jump, jump

 Whee!

 higher, higher

Hopefully, I will be able to get the videos to upload later!

Ho, Ho...NO!

We had planned to take Reagan and Cooper to see Santa this afternoon, but this is as close as we got!!

Neither child was interested in the jolly old man, so I didn't force them. Santa was very sweet and gave each of them a coloring book and said he would come by their house on Christmas Eve.

So, instead of seeing cute pictures with Santa, here are some photos of them playing at the mall.
