Easter

We started off celebrating the Easter season with the annual neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  We didn't have to prep Talon too much this year he knew exactly what to do as soon as the buzzer sounded.  He was off!!!  Once he filled up his basket (even though there were still eggs to be picked up) he stopped and was so happy with his loot.

(Picture below is courteous of Talon, he's been into taking pictures lately)

The day before Easter we got a fun package in the mail from Nonni and Poppi.  It has something for all of us.  

We also had fun dyeing Easter Eggs.

Talon woke up Sunday morning running into our room stark naked.  He's into changing out of his pajama's first thing in the morning and I think he stopped to go to the bathroom too.  SO...after I helped him get some new clothes on (he's starting to want to pick his own clothes out and it's been hard to let him).  He headed downstairs before I was completely dressed and started finding eggs along the way.  This year the Easter Bunny hide about a dozen plastic filled eggs throughout the house and he actually only needed help finding the last one.

The Easter Bunny filled his basket full of fun new "surprises" and he got a dart gun from mom and dad (I don't think it's fair that the Easter Bunny gets all the credit).  He kept telling me over and over again "this is the BEST gun ever".

Once the dust settled from all the Easter fun and after our hard boiled egg breakfast we sat Talon down to tell him about the true meaning of Easter.  As a family we watched "He is Risen"from Living Scriptures and talked about why we celebrate Easter.  Thank goodness for 12:00 church!

While getting Talon ready he told me that pink is never, ever, ever a boy color and then once I got his tie on he looked at himself in the mirror and said "this is NOT cool".  I just had to laugh and try to convince him that it was cool and that he looked SO handsome.  Don't ya think?

This last picture is also courteous of Talon.  He told me to make a funny face and pull my hair out like this.  I think he's going to be a natural photographer. 

We got to spend Easter dinner with some good friends who invited us over.  It's so nice to be able to celebrate with other families while we are away from ours.  We are so lucky to have such good friends.
