On Saturday, we had fun dying Easter eggs and making homemade macaroni and cheese. Kolbe loves to help cook! I let him help me once and now he wants to help EVERY time! Definitely makes cooking "interesting."
On Sunday, Kolbe decided to make things complicated by waking up at 5:45am. (His normal wake up time is around 8:00am.) Usually we can get him back to sleep, but not this time! He was wide awake and ready to party. By the time we went to 11:00am mass, Kolb was already getting tired. Luckily, that turned out to be a good thing. He mainly just wanted to sit with mom and dad and drink his milk. We didn't have to take him out of mass at all! (that rare for Kolbe...) However, the car ride home from mass was a nightmare! He was totally pooped, but the Easter celebration at Grandma's (Miss Lora) was due to begin at 1:00pm. We rushed over there anyway and Kolbe managed to find his second wind. He was so excited to see everyone, especially his cousins Caleb and Adan. He was a total trooper and didn't pout or fuss once! Of course, Little Reagan just slept, ate, and looked around throughout the entire thing. He's such a laid back baby! We got to partake in a wonderful feast of all kinds of different food and of course, had fun Easter baskets and eggs for the kiddos. Kolbe's basket even had a fun pair of Sponge Bob pajamas in it from Granny that he just LOVES! (Who wouldn't love a pair of neon yellow pajamas with a big face on the front!?!)
We had hoped to go over to Ben and Erin's for a second Easter celebration around 5:00pm, but around 4:15 when we were preparing to leave Miss Lora's, Kolbe finally crashed. Being awake for nearly 11 hours is a lot for a 17 month old! So unfortunately, we never made it over to Ben and Erin's and missed out on what I'm guessing was a ton of great food based on the goodies Dave brought home to me. (not to mention the good company too!) Of course, Kolbe woke up shortly there after and was a total grouch until I finally got him to go to bed for real around 9:45 pm. Oh, the joys of parenting! Still, we had a wonderful Easter and really loved getting to spend it with such a wonderful family. Plus, it's so exciting to see Kolbe growing up and starting to figure out what Easter is all about! And didn't they just look ADORABLE in their little outfits that Pinkie sent them!
