Today is Easter and we celebrated it in style with Isaac. From an Easter egg “hunt” to getting dressed up and having to sit in the front row of church. We’re really thankful that Isaac is finally over his 3-4 day bout with fever. He was mostly over it yesterday, but was way out of sorts, and we missed my Aunt Sheri’s wedding. Sorry Sheri but congratulations and I hear it was wonderful!

Here’s a quick recap of the whole thing, starting two days earlier.

While Isaac’s been sick, Honey and Dude had tickets to a James Taylor concert up in The Woodlands, so they stayed with us Friday night. Honey’s mom made cookies for all of us, but especially for Isaac. It was his first real cookie and definitely his first taste of icing.

Isaac Tasting Cookie

All right, I'm just going to have a little taste

Oh my goodness this is a good cookie

Savoring the sweet taste of icing

That's the stuff

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff!

After a bit of Isaac munching, the cookie got a little…messy. Which is a nice way of saying Honey and the couch needed to be wiped off.

Oh yeah, look at that shine

But alas, that didn’t stop him from trying to share. I swear, the kid’s got some great manners, just not the best timing.

Try it Momma!

Try it Momma!

On Easter morning Isaac slept in until 9, which was a treat in and of itself. Of course he woke up 2 or 3 times during the night so him sleeping a little later than normal wasn’t the biggest surprise on the planet. After he was fully awake it was time for him to enjoy his Easter baskets. And enjoy them he did.

Now this is some tasty reading

Checking to make sure there's nothing on the bottom

Oh, something on the side!

Oh, something on the side!

After he was done with his Easter basket we changed him into some clothes we didn’t mind potentially getting grass stains on and headed outside to do an Easter egg “hunt”. Erin had loaded about 10 eggs up with Cheerios, Puffs and Yogurt bites.

Gonna Eat It

Don't know why it's here but I'm gonna eat it!

Hey, you can't eat this!

Hey, you can't eat this!

After finding the one on the ground and then a few on the deck we brought him into the grass to “find” the remaining few.

There's an egg out there!

But it turns out we don’t let him crawl in the grass nearly enough, so he wasn’t going anywhere to get the eggs.

Yeah, I'm not gonna go get that

Yeah, I'm not gonna go get that

So momma got the eggs for him and allowed him to taste the goodness hidden inside.

Oooooooooh, I want those

Oooooooooh, I want those

And that’s when Isaac decided he was a fan of Easter eggs.

I love these!

I love these!

After the hunt we gave him the rest of his breakfast and got him dressed for church. Then we took some pictures beforehand because we figured (rightly so it turns out) that he wouldn’t be up for it when we got back from church.

Hey everyone, I got my momma!

Hey everyone, I got my momma!

And I got my daddy!

And I got my daddy!

So a Happy Easter to everyone!
